Fears that Celebrity Big Brother contestant Jermaine Jackson may share his brother Michael's fondness for plastic surgery have been sparked after the singer sported a bizarre plaster arrangement on his nose. The former Jackson Five star stunned viewers when he appeared on screen yesterday with strips of tape covering his nostrils. Cosmetic surgeon Apostolos Gaitanis says, "The way the strips have been placed is the way we put them when we do rhinotip surgery. "These are like light paper stitches that must be kept on night and day for five or six days to keep the skin in the desired position."

Jackson is one of the favourites to win the TV contest, decided by public votes.
