Celebrity Big Brother’s 13 stars ‘confirmed’ ahead of launch

The show has a hard act to follow after its last series proved to be gripping viewing – remember the Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell romance, the Gemma Collins tantrums, that “David is dead” debacle?

“I was planning on moving to England, even if I hadn’t gone on Big Brother I was planning on moving over”.

The X Factor’s Katie Waissel has been named as part of the rumoured line-up and could be hoping to gain fans with a reality TV appearance. Which leads us to… The couple starred in their hit A&E reality show for eight seasons until it was canceled in 2012, before trying again with a new show on CMT, which ended in 2015.

The official lineup for the brand new series has yet to be confirmed by Channel 5 but numerous outlets are reporting a “leaked” cast list that includes Geordie Shore star Marnie.

Celebrity Big Brother begins at 9pm on Thursday.

Jason now walks away from the Big Brother house at Elstree in Borhamwood with the remaining £70,000 from the prize fund, while the show gears up for its celebrity edition launching on Thursday.

X Factor rejects Katie Waissel and Chloe Mafia (who looks TOTALLY different) are both reportedly going in, and TOWIE’s Lewis Bloor, too. She catches criminals for a living back in the States, CBB should be a breeze – for her, not her fellow housemates, if she gets in one.
