The 30-year-old glamour model - who is also the manager of a strip club in London - has been accused of leeching off her footballing legend father Paul Gascoigne's success, but she's adamant she's never needed a helping hand from her dad.

She said: "I have a fantastic job, earn my own money and always have."

The blonde bombshell is hoping her stint in the infamous house, which she entered on Tuesday (03.01.17) night alongside her former fling Calum Best, will allow viewers to fall in love with her for who she is and her personality rather than who she's related to.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper, she said: "I'm really excited to do the show which I've been a fan off for many years. I just want people to see the real me."

And, although she shares a strong bond with her father, Bianca isn't one to talk about her relationship with Paul - also known as Gazza - because it's private.

She explained to the publication: "There's been various stories written about me and my relationship with my dad which I feel has put me at a disadvantage.

"I try not to speak about my father. I found out about a particular story which claimed to have had direct quotes from me but was completely fabricated."

However, bosses will be hoping Bianca will open up about her father inside the house when she gets to know her fellow contestants; including Jamie O'Hara, Ray J, Nicola McLean, 'Loose Women's Coleen Nolan and professional dancer James Jordan.
