Celebrity Big Brother returns with All Stars and new faces for drama-filled series

Get your popcorn out folks!

| Updated:

This motley crew of clashing personalities is set to probably be one of the most drama-filled shows on TV.

Celebrity Big Brother starts in four days and the line-up looks like a corker!

This series sees a team of All Stars, which will be made up of fan favourites, shoved in with some newbies.

What could possibly go wrong?

Producers are trying to keep tight-lipped over the line-up but as always, the latest line-up has now leaked online!

Hosts Emma Willis and Rylan Clark are set to kick the series off, which will last 24 days, a week less than usual.

It’s just as well!

Here it is:

Nicola McLean

The 35-year-old was in CBB in 2012 and had an explosive row with Denise Welch, which pretty much led to her eviction.

She is said to be desperate to let her hair down and have some fun in there. We’ll see how long that lasts…

Ray J

Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband is said to be going on the show to tell all!

A CBB source said: “Bosses are over the moon with how the negotiations are going.

“Kim is one of the biggest celebrities in the world and they were never going to get her but booking Ray J means they’ll get someone with proper insight into what goes on behind closed doors.

“He was right by her side as she shot to fame because of their sex tape so they are hoping he will talk openly about their relationship and reveal lots of new things about her while in the house.”

Mark Labbett

A video was posted on Channel G’s website and hints that Mark will be going into the mad house.

His voice is disguised but it doesn’t take a genius to work out who it is!

 The ‘Beast’ is going to make cracking telly!

Jamie O’Hara

The 30-year-old footie star would be the first EVER professional footballer to ever enter the house. He is said to be doing the show to pay off the £15,000 a month he pays ex-wife Dannielle Lloyd as part of their divorce agreement. Hard times!

Calum Best

George Best’s son Calum was hugely popular on the show in January 2015

He seems to love the show!

“I’ve got a lot of time for Celebrity Big Brother, it has done a lot for me,” he told the Daily Star Online.

“If I did go back, I would go on the All Stars team and it would be fun.”

James Jordan

James reportedly signed a six-figure contract to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Bosses say that they love his “feisty” attitude and they know he “won’t hold back.”

Spencer and Heidi Pratt

Can you believe that these two are set to go and cause more mayhem in the CBB bungalow?

Speidi, as they’re more commonly known have reportedly signed a six-figure deal to take part in the show.

A show insider told The Daily Star: “Spencer and Heidi are very competitive and they got so close to winning last time that they’re hell bent on coming out on top this time around.

“They’ve never quite lived down being beaten by Rylan. Last time they were not sure what to expect, but they’ve become big fans of the show since their stint in the House.”

Austin Armacost

Remember Austin from 2015? The American model came second and had a great bromance with Apprentice star James Hill.

He also shaved his hair off to support Gail Porter who suffers from Alopecia!

Coleen Nolan

The Loose Women panellist was in the house in 2012 and came runner up to Julian Clary.

After recent marriage troubles, it’s shocking that she might be going into the house!

Bianca Gascoigne

The stepdaughter of Gazza is set to enter the house. She’s the ex-girlfriend of Calum Best who is also apparently going in – this is going to be good!

Bosses also want her to spill the beans on her dad’s addictions and recovery.

Sam Thompson

Made In Chelsea star is one of the rumoured stars set to make a surprised appearance, although he is yet to confirm it!

What would his girlfriend Tiff say?

Surely the likes of the MiC cast are too above CBB?

Malika Haqq

Khloe Kardashian’s bezzie knows all of the family’s secrets so this one is sure to cause some drama!

A source said: “The Kardashians are facing the new year from hell. If Malika ends up going in she’s likely to reveal plenty about them.

“Malika is a shoulder to cry on for Khloe and regularly spends time with the entire Kardashian family.

They added to the Daily Star: “She knows all the sisters’ darkest secrets.”

Jedward

We kind of love this one!

“Jedward caused chaos when they were in the house five years ago and viewers loved it,” a source told The Daily Star.

“Producers were really keen to get them back, they know they are TV gold.”

Jasmine Waltz

The stunning model Jasmine will get a lot of hearts racing!

Sources confirmed to The Sun that Jasmine has since flown from her home in California to London to prepare for the star-studded Channel 5 programme.

Her second stint in the house could prove interesting as there are quite a few males that would LOVE to get it on with her…

Jody Latham

British Shameless star Jody has had a pretty difficult year after being accused of harassing ex-Apprentice star Adam Hosker after drama with his ex-fiancee.

Luckily, he was cleared and it looks like he wants to win back to heart of the nation.

A source told The Sun Online: “Jody hasn’t had it easy this year and after a series of dramas he wants people to remember him for good things again.

“He was one of the nation’s most promising actors during his time on Shameless and he’s hoping he’ll be able to recreate that success again after going on CBB.”

Sam Callahan

Former X factor contestant Sam, 22, has grown up!

According to the Daily Star, Sam Callahan will get swept back into the limelight when he stars in CBB.

A source told the newspaper: “Sam is in the best shape he’s ever been in, he would definitely bring some eye candy to the show.”
