Rumoured Celebrity Big Brother line up revealed
With Celebrity Big Brother set to return to ITV on April 7, speculation continues to mount over which famous faces will be stepping into the iconic house. While ITV won’t officially confirm the cast, reports from The Sun suggest the following group of celebrities will be taking part in this year’s series.
Trisha Goddard
Veteran talk show host Trisha Goddard, 67, is widely reported to be joining the Celebrity Big Brother house. Despite her ongoing battle with stage four breast cancer, Trisha is expected to bring her wealth of life experience and strong personality to the show. Best known for her self-titled talk show, which aired on ITV and later Channel 5, she remains a highly respected figure in British television.
Mickey Rourke
Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke, 72, is another high-profile name rumoured to be joining the cast. Known for his roles in films such as 9 1/2 Weeks, Sin City, and The Wrestler, Rourke’s larger-than-life persona and candid approach to reality television are likely to make him one of the season’s most talked-about housemates.
Donna Preston
Comedian and actress Donna Preston, 38, is also tipped to enter the house. Having appeared on ITV’s Hey Tracey! and Apocalypse Wow, Preston is expected to bring plenty of humour and energy to the show.
JoJo Siwa
American pop star and social media sensation JoJo Siwa has reportedly signed on for the show. With a significant global following, her involvement would likely attract a younger audience to Celebrity Big Brother, introducing a fresh dynamic to the house.
Chris Hughes
Former Love Island star Chris Hughes is among the reality TV personalities speculated to be taking part. Having previously experienced life in the spotlight, he may have an advantage in navigating the challenges of the house.
Jack P. Shepherd
Coronation Street star Jack P. Shepherd, best known for playing David Platt, has also been linked to the show. If confirmed, his participation would provide fans with a glimpse of the actor outside his well-known soap role.
Patsy Palmer
Another soap star reportedly in the mix is EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer. Famous for her role as Bianca Jackson, Palmer has previously appeared on reality TV, making her a strong contender for the show.
Daley Thompson
Olympic decathlete Daley Thompson, a two-time gold medalist, is also believed to be joining the cast. His competitive edge and athletic background could bring an interesting element to the house dynamics.
Chesney Hawkes
Best known for his 1991 hit The One and Only, pop singer Chesney Hawkes is another name reportedly linked to the show. With decades in the music industry, he could provide fascinating insights and entertainment throughout the series.
Angellica Bell
TV presenter Angellica Bell, known for her work on CBBC and The One Show, is also said to be taking part. Her experience in live television may help her adapt well to the pressures of the Big Brother house.
Sir Michael Fabricant
Former Conservative MP Sir Michael Fabricant, 74, is reportedly set to enter the house as one of this year’s most unexpected additions. His political background and outspoken nature could add a unique dynamic to the group.
Danny Beard
Drag performer Danny Beard, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, is rumoured to be another contestant. Their presence is expected to bring charisma, creativity, and vibrant energy to the show.
