Infamous former housemates due to return to revamped BBUK?

The Sun has posted some new Big Brother UK news, claiming that the series set to air on ITV2 and ITVX later this year, may feature a few familiar faces.

The article, published on The Sun’s website, claims that the likes of ‘Nasty’ Nick Bateman, Series 8 housemate Chanelle Hayes and BB5 winner Nadia Almada, are being lined up to return amongst the new batch of strangers when the show returns.

An unnamed TV insider is quoted as saying:

“It won’t be a reboot full of old faces, it’s likely to be a smattering rather than a deluge of BB veterans. They know that they need the random mix of people that featured in the original C4 version, so this is a way to help achieve that.”

Other possible returnees are rumoured to include the likes of Makosi Musambasi who made waves in BB6, claiming to have been impregnated from a late night hot tub session, despite no intercourse taking place and Kinga Karolczak, who gained infamy for her wine bottle party trick, also in BB6.

However, an ITV source was quick to deny the story, tweeting the following response to @supertv247, although that Tweet has now been deleted.

All we’ll say is, not everything you read on the internet is true
