The line-up for the 2024 outing of Celebrity Big Brother looks to have been leaked ahead of the show returning to ITV. And many fans have the same reaction.
Big Brother moved to ITV2 last year almost half a decade after it had last aired on Channel 5.
The show first aired back in 2000 and was hosted by Davina McCall who was known for her eccentric presenting.
Current show hosts are AJ Odudu and Will Best, with the 20th overall series of the show airing in late 2023 between October and November.

The line-up for the next outing of the celebrity version of the show was revealed this week, The Sun reported.
The outlet claims that the line-up has been finalised, with a solid dozen contestants set to head into the house.
ITV are staying shtum for now, telling LADbible: "Any names are at this point pure speculation and viewers will have to tune in to see who will be entering the Celebrity Big Brother house."
Either way the line-up will be revealed soon enough with the show set to air on ITV on Monday (4 March).

The line-up is reported to include Strictly Come Dancing's Nikita Kuzmin, Ibiza Weekender star David Potts, Heartstopper's Bradley Riches, Zeze Millz, Marisha Wallace, Coronation Street's Colson Smith, Fern Britton, Louis Walsh, Lauren Simon, Gary Goldsmith, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Levi Roots, and Sharon Osbourne.
But it's not too impressive, according to some who enjoy the show.
One X user (previously Twitter) said: "They need some celebrities in there for a start."
A second posted: "It's AWFUL. For a big comeback of a celebrity series they needed to go big with the line-up... this isn't it."

A third wrote: "Shocking isn't it."
And a fourth concluded: "That CBB line-up is bilge."
Some people were hyped by the leak though.
One commented on the potential reunion of former X Factor co-stars Osbourne and Walsh: "I CAN'T COPE IF THESE TWO ARE HOUSEMATES I WILL CRY."
Another wrote: "MARISHA WALLACE!!!! IS GOING IN!!! Get behind me #CBB."

A third wrote: "Ekin-Su, Zeze Millz and David Potts are 100% going to bring the drama!!!"
It's rumoured that former X Factor judge Sharon will be entering the house as a special housemate rather than a fully fledged contestant.
She wont be there on launch night and will spend a few days in the house with those competing to win the thing.
And Sharon's former X Factor colleague Louis Walsh is reported to have made a 'secret demand' ahead of heading in to the house.

Whatever happens with the new season, it's unlikely anything will top the chaos that followed Angie Bowie learning that her ex-husband David Bowie had died.
