Who is Stacy Francis?
Having hit moderate fame in the 90s with her band Ex Girlfriend, Stacy made a comeback in 2011 when she auditioned for the first season of The X Factor USA, performing Aretha Franklin's (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman. She made it through Boot Camp and to judges' houses with Nicole Scherzinger, but was eliminated in week four. Her singles include 2012's I Am the Change and 2015's I Still Believe.
But Celebrity Big Brother producers have likely included her as a housemate to see what happens when they put Stacy and Ray J together. It all comes back to an incident shortly before Whitney Houston's death.

Ray J, who was rumoured to be Whitney's lover, reportedly tried to defend Stacy and the whole thing blew up into an altercation.
