Australian cricket all-rounder Andrew Symonds is set to enter the "Bigg Boss 5" house this week.

Symonds will be the second international celebrity to enter the Colors' show after Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone. He will enter the show as a participant, said a source from the channel.

The 36-year-old will address a press conference to make a formal announcement of his entry in the show in Mumbai Tuesday.

In "Bigg Boss", contestants are required to stay inside a secluded house, without any connection with the outside world, and under 24X7 camera surveillance. The fifth season started Oct 2 with 14 contestants.

Some of the remaining contenders include Mahek Chahal, Juhi Parmar, Akashdeep Saigal, Siddharth Bharadwaj, Shonali Nagrani, and Amar Upadhyay, apart from Sunny.
