Former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas is another famous face rumoured to be taking part in the show.

He quit the soap in 2016 in the hope of pursing new projects. So could Celebrity Big Brother be one of those?

Well, according to The Sun, Ryan was inspired to look at reality TV options after watching his brother Adam’s success on I’m A Celebrity and brother Scott’s time in Love Island.

A source claimed: “His brother Adam was on I’m A Celebrity and his other brother [Scott] was on Love Island, so he knows exactly how lucrative it can be to get a spot on one of those kind of shows.

“There’s talk of a £500,000 as an appearance fee.”

It wouldn’t be Ryan’s first foray into reality TV – he appeared on the second series of Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls.

Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex’s estranged half-sister is reportedly in the line-up.

According to the Daily Star, a source said: “The theme for this summer’s CBB series is understood to be ‘scandal’ so Sam is ideal for this.”

Prior to Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry, her family was at the centre of controversy after her dad Thomas Markle posed for staged paparazzi photographs.

Samantha, who had been openly critical of Meghan and her relationship with Harry, admitted she had been the one to suggest her father co-operate with a photographer to show himself and the royal family in a positive light.

It’s safe to say, she would definitely have a lot to say in the CBB house!
