DIPPY Big Brother millionaire Jade Goody has branded this year's contestants "a weird bunch".
The former dental nurse dismissed the latest hopefuls as "fame hungry".
She labelled Tourette's sufferer Pete a "freak".
And Jade, who stripped off live on TV during a drinking game, advised the female contestants not to flash the flesh.
She said: "If I had any advice, I would say do not get your kit off if you have got a couple of bellies because you will never live it down."
Jade's attention-seeking exploits on Big Brother earned her more than £2million and made her a household name
Yesterday, with no sense of irony, she said of the BB7 crew: "What a weird bunch of contestants.
"They are all just crying out for fame. When I was on the show it had normal people with a bit about them."
She added: "People who are going in there now are just hungry for fame and just acting up for TV. They are not real because they just want to play the game.
"It is hard to say which is the weirdest but the guy with Tourette's kept me watching because it made me laugh.
"I wish I had a best mate with Tourette's. I was watching the live show and he just kept swearing and twitching all over the place.
"Bonnie, the first girl who went in, was so annoying. I think she may be the first to be kicked off - or Nikki because she is just a wannabe footballer's wife."
Before starring in the show four years ago, Jade had been evicted over unpaid rent and was facing jail over outstanding council tax.
During her troubled childhood she once bit off a girl's earlobe and has admitted shoplifting and smoking dope.
Her dad was an ex-pimp, thief and heroin addict, while her mum worked as a prostitute then became a lesbian.
Mum-of-two Jade only came fourth in Big Brother 3 but now rakes in a fortune from newspaper columns, personal appearances and fitness videos.
She lives in a £500,000 three-bedroom house in Essex and drives a £48,000 BMW X5.
Now on a nationwide tour promoting her autobiography, she insisted she didn't enter Big Brother to become famous.
She said: "I thought I would go back to being a dental nurse. I wasn't hungry for fame like these girls.
"I never thought I would get famous from it and treated it like a holiday camp to get away from my mum and my boyfriend."
A record number of viewers - 8.1million - tuned into the launch of Big Brother 7.
It was an increase of half a million on last year's launch.
Channel 4's Angela Jain said: "This heralds the most fantastic kick-start to Big Brother yet.
"We remain as committed as ever to making this year's Big Brother as entertaining as the rest."
