Celebrity Big Brother line-up could be more than expected after ‘huge detail’ is given away

It’s so nearly here. There are just hours to go.

Yep, Celebrity Big Brother will launch on ITV tonight (4 March), five long years since the show last aired.

Known for its many outrageous moments and eclectic mix of stars, plenty of us Brits are expected to be tuning in for the legendary return to telly.

But after rumoured line-up could be different than we all expected after a ‘huge detail’ has been given away.

According to The Sun, a dozen celebrities are set to enter the house including the likes of Love Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Levi Roots and Ibiza Weekender star David Potts.

It’s even said that iconic The X Factor judge Louis Walsh is in the mix, although ITV haven’t confirmed anything with the line-up meant to be a surprise when the show airs.

The broadcaster told 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.”

Other rumoured stars said to be entering the House include Strictly’s Nikita Kuzmin, Heartstopper’s Bradley Riches, Zeze Millz, West End star Marisha Wallace, Corrie star Colson Smith, Fern Britton, Real Housewives of Cheshire’s Lauren Simon and Gary Goldsmith.

But despite that nice even dozen stars, a behind-the-scenes photos of the ITV set seems to reveal a huge detail that we weren’t expecting.

One snap obtained by The Sun of the Big Brother House appears to feature 16 medical lockers in the storeroom.

Now, if we’re to assume that’s one locker per each celeb, then there must be another four stars set to enter the house. Surely?

And if that’s true, it could back another rumour than Sharon Osbourne is going to enter and reunite with her old The X Factor pal, Walsh.

After all, a source told The Sun: “Bosses are remaining tight-lipped about just how many stars will be checking into the Celebrity Big Brother house this series but fans will be quick to speculate the sixteen lockers are a sign that surprise arrivals will be part of the game plan.

“We already know that Sharon Osbourne will arrive as a temporary guest but the lockers suggest there could be more.”
