New Celebrity Big Brother question everyone has is finally answered

Not long until launch night!

We already know the new series of Celebrity Big Brother will kick off with a female-only cast in honour of 100 years since women got the vote.

But what we’ve all been wondering is just when the men will appear…

Well, according to The Sun, males will be introduced to the famous compound just four days after launch night.

A source said: “After spending nearly a week forming female bonds and establishing relationships and roles in the house, we’re expecting the boys to really shake up the dynamics – and we’ve got some big personalities entering!”

The identities of those “big personalities” have yet to be confirmed but rumoured male contestants for the new series include Love Island’s Jonny Mitchell, former The Apprentice candidate Andrew Brady and musician Ginuwine.

As for the women, well, only one has been confirmed so far.

Journalist Rachel Johnson, who is the sister of Foreign Secretary Boris and daughter of I’m A Celebrity star Stanley, confirmed her participation last week.

“I am a firm believer that you only regret the things in life you don’t do, not the things you do do,” she wrote in her Daily Mail column.

Rachel said she was asked annually to be on Celebrity Big Brother and rarely gave it a second thought, until this year’s decision to make the show all about female empowerment.

She explained: “Not a lot of people know this, but my mother was born a Fawcett, and a statue of my distant forebear, the leading suffragist Millicent, after whom my daughter Milly is named, is going up in Parliament Square next year in commemoration of female suffrage.

“It will be the first statue of a woman in the square. It fitted. Sort of.”

Celebrity Big Brother: Year of the Woman starts Tuesday, January 2 on Channel 5.
