Dean Gaffney has said that he thinks his former EastEnders castmate Natalie Cassidy has already won Celebrity Big Brother.

The Robbie Jackson actor believes that Cassidy, who played his on-screen sister Sonia, would have to "do something drastic" to be evicted from the house.

Speaking on Channel 5 spinoff show Bit on the Side, he claimed: "Seeing as we're six days in, I think Natalie's won the show in my opinion.

"I think she'd have to do something drastic which she won't do, to lose this now."

Meanwhile, Gaffney predicted Loose Women star Denise Welch will finish runner-up, adding: "I think in close second will be Denise - she's a lovely lady.



"She's quite funny, and a bit flirty and a bit different. She's not just your stereotypical mother hen. She's got a sting in her tale. When she's had a drink, it'll be nice to see that come out."

Celebrity Big Brother will broadcast its first eviction of 2012 tonight from 9pm on Channel 5, as either Georgia Salpa or Andrew Stone will leave the show.
