The highly-anticipated Celebrity Big Brother potential line-up has been 'revealed'.
While there's no denying that Big Brother is iconic, Celebrity Big Brother might be a strong contender - after all it did give us the famous 'David's dead' moment.
After Big Brother was brought back to our screens last year, it wasn't very long before the announcement was made that the celeb version would also be making a comeback.
The return of the series will be presented by AJ Odudu and Will Best, who'd previously fronted the non-celeb version in 2023.
Since then, there have been rumours about who could be in the pipeline to appear on the show.

Whilst an ITV spokesperson has said told LADbible that ‘all names are purely speculation’, it will certainly be a interesting impressive line-up if they grace the Big Brother house.
Fern Britton

Insiders told The Sun that Fern, 66, has signed a contract and will enter the house on 4 March.
The source said: “She wants to show the public a different side to her — unscripted and unapologetic.
“She has a lot of stories to tell and she won’t hold back when it comes to her relationships with people like Phil [Schofield].”
Louis Walsh
ITV.
The former X-Factor judge is expected to enter the house, and has reportedly landed himself a six-figure-deal for the appearance.

A source told The Sun: “He is one of the most intriguing signings for Celebrity Big Brother because he has almost half a century of experience in showbusiness to recall when he enters the house.
“Viewers will be most interested in his memories of his time on The X Factor and working with huge music acts including Westlife and Boyzone.
“But there may be a few celebrities outside the house who are feeling nervous about what he might say, because Louis is notoriously outspoken.”
Lauren Simon

Another contestant who is speculated to be entering the Big Brother house was Real Housewives of Cheshire star, Lauren Simon.

The 46-year-old is a reality TV OG, having appeared on the first season of Real Housewives back in 2015.
In 2019, it was announced that Simon had 'some personal stuff going on', according to co-star Dawn Ward.
"Lauren's an amazing person, I am missing her to bits. I speak to her daily but she has other commitments at the minute that she needs to concentrate on." she said.
"She will be sadly missed, but I am sure we haven't seen the last of Lauren."
Perhaps the same could be said for the Big Brother house?
