Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Veteran TV presenter Keith Chegwin is favourite to win the new series of Celebrity Big Brother ahead of tonight's launch.
The star, who started out as a child actor, was a regular on TV in the 1970s and 1980s, appearing on shows including Cheggers Plays Pop and Saturday Superstore.
Bookmaker William Hill made Chegwin 11-2 to win even though the line-up will not be officially unveiled until tonight's show.
The company has also cut the odds on former Apprentice star Katie Hopkins to win to 12-1 after a large bet was placed.
Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said: "Inside 24 hours Katie has gone from our best result to our worst result - we might well have under-estimated her chances."
Other names in the frame for tonight's show include former EastEnder and Loose Women presenter Nadia Sawalha, George Best's son Calum and actress Patsy Kensit.
Also appearing are former Coronation Street star Ken Morley and soul singer Alexander O'Neal.
Celebrity Big Brother started life as a spin-off of the main show on Channel 4 before both were dropped and then picked up by rival broadcaster Channel 5.
Last year's series, won by US actor Gary Busey, was the second most complained-about show of 2014 - only topped by complaints about the regular version of the show.
