As the excitement mounts before the new celebrities enter the Big Brother house on Wednesday evening, one of BB's favourite ex-contestants has set herself a bold new challenge. Jade Goody has revealed she would like to climb the "mountain beginning with E".

The bubbly 25-year-old blonde, who recently shed two stone and released a fitness DVD, hopes to improve on her last sporting challenge. Jade, who dropped out of the London Marathon last year after training for just three hours, said: "I would never ever do the marathon again, that was absolute hell. But the next thing I’d like to do is climb a mountain, maybe that one beginning with E that a lot of people climb - that’s something I’d really like to push myself to do."

The mother of two also hopes to attain enlightenment while visiting Nepal to scale the world's highest peak. "I'd really like to live with those men with the shaved heads who wear orange - Buddhist monks, that's it. That'd be fun!" she adds.

Jade, along with her mother, grandmother and boyfriend Jack Tweedy, are rumoured to be making a surprise entrance to the Celebrity Big Brother house, possibly to run a beauty salon tending to the housemates and sharing her pearls of wisdom. London-born Jade had the nation hooked during the 2000 series of the show, spouting a stream of comic one-liners including "East Angular - is that abroad?" and announcing that "I’m not being tictactical in here".
