Celebrity Big Brother returns to our screens in January 2016 and the rumour mill is already working overtime on who will take part. TOWIE star Gemma Collins, 34, has allegedly secured a six-figure sum to appear on the show. Will she last longer in the Big Brother house than the three whole days she spent in last year’s I’m A Celebrity… jungle?
West End star Darren Day, 47, another I’m A Celebrity alumni, is also said to have signed on the dotted line. A source told The Sun that the show’s producers see Day as “telly dynamite,” and are hoping that he lets sparks fly by revealing all about his relationships with actress Anna Friel and Hear’say singer Suzanne Shaw.
No stranger to controversy, the show is rumoured to feature other divisive housemates such as so-called comedian Dapper Laughs, Kourtney Kardashian’s ex Scott Disick and Nadya ‘Octomum’ Suleman, who gave birth to octuplets in 2009.
According to Channel 5’s website, the house has undergone an opulent makeover, harking back to the glamour of vaudeville theatres from yesteryear. The garden has been transformed into a Whitechapel style foggy street scene and the snug will resemble a Victorian pub.
Host Emma Willis and her newly married co-host Rylan Clark-Neal will also be returning. Willis announced recently that she is expecting her third child with her husband Matt, of Busted fame, who have reformed and are set to tour again after a break of 12 years.
Last year’s show was won by The Apprentice contestant James Hill, so stayed tuned to see who takes over the title in 2016.
