The Austin Powers star, who heads into the CBB house this evening, spent the evening clubbing at Mahiki in London and even though Kelly was there with fiance Luke Worrell, he kept sending her drinks and hints that he’d like to hook up.

A clubgoer told the Mirror: “It was hilarious. Kelly was with her boyfriend but that didn’t stop him. Sad to say, she gave him short shrift.”

But Verne didn’t let it stop him from having a good time - especially as he was turning the big 4-0 on New Years Day.

Another onlooker added: “He bought round after round of drinks for everyone in his party, including £100-a-time cocktails for himself.

“He was very drunk by the end of the evening but great fun - the life and soul of the party. He left yelling ‘Happy New Year!’ to everybody.”

Verne is said to set to earn a fee of £136,000 for his three week stint on the reality TV show. His housemates including Ulrika Jonsson, Mutya Buena, LaToya Jackson and glamour model Lucy Pinder.
