CELEBRITY Big Brother's highly-anticipated reboot is just around the corner - with a string of huge stars signed up already.

While The Sun has revealed a number of the household names set to enter the iconic home, there have been some exciting rumours about who else might be heading in too.

Bosses are believed to be shelling out a whopping £2million in order to secure the show's biggest and best cast yet when it returns to screens this March.

The comeback, which will be fronted by AJ Odudu and Will Best, is expected to rack up even more streams and get higher viewing figures on the night it airs.

And while an ITV spokesman has said: “All names are purely speculation," fans of the show are beside themselves with anticipation.

Colson Smith

Colson Smith is an actor most recognised for his role in Coronation Street.

"Colson's character Craig is a huge favourite with soap fans and he's just as likeable and down to earth in real life so don't be surprised if he ends up winning the whole thing. He's got all the ingredients of a Celeb BB champion."

Fern Britton

The Sun revealed Fern is being lined up to enter Celebrity Big Brother and has vowed to lift the lid on her rift with Phillip Schofield.

She presented This Morning for six years alongside Phil, 61, before she was replaced by Holly Willoughby in 2009.

Insiders told The Sun that Fern, 66, had signed a deal with Celebrity Big Brother which will see her enter the famous house on March 4 in the live launch night on ITV1.

A source added: “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.

“They don’t speak anymore so there are no bridges to burn as far as she is concerned.”

Louis Walsh

Louis, a panellist on ITV’s The X Factor from 2004 till 2014 then 2016 to 2017, is said to have landed himself a bumper six-figure deal to enter the CBB house.

A close associate of Irishman Louis, who has also managed a series of top music acts over the years, told us: “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

Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lauren was revealed as one of the show signings last month.

The original member of the ITVBe show will go into the house on March 4 - the launch date of the show.

Last year Lauren was hospitalised for three weeks after a boob job went horrifically wrong and her nipple nearly died.

The 46-year-old, who’s been on the RHOC since it launched in 2015, opened up about her terrible ordeal in an interview with The Sun.

It came after she’d already been through an upsetting ordeal as she had a bitter split with her property tycoon ex husband Paul Simon in 2018, all of which was viewed by the public at home.

Gary Goldsmith

Kate Middleton's uncle Gary negotiated a hefty contract with the ITV show’s bosses to take part.

The controversial businessman — brother of Kate’s mum Carole — auditioned for I’m A Celebrity last year but was rejected at the final stage over fears it could embarrass Kate and William.

But a source told us: “The CBB team love him because of his link to Kate and the fact that he’s confident and loud and won’t hold back.

“He’s made it clear he will talk about everything and anything, and he’s pretty outspoken when it comes to Harry and Meghan.

“Gary also holds a deep affection for Kate and Wills and will be able to give a fascinating insight into what it’s really like being related to the future King and Queen.

“He could be TV gold and ITV knows it. The deal he signed is for good money.”

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu

Love Island favourite Ekin-Su was rumoured to have signed up just weeks after splitting from Davide Sanclimenti.

The Turkish actress, 29, who found fame on the ITV2 dating show in 2022, recently appeared on the US version of The Traitors.

She could now be set for her next reality TV stint, according to the The Mirror.

With a strong 3.5m followers on Instagram, Ekin-Su won over the hearts of the nation with her feisty personality and now hopes to do the same on the celeb reboot.

It comes after her love story with Davide, 29, came to an end in January, after the pair decided to separate after 18 months together.

Jordan North

Radio 1 host Vick Hope sparked rumours that Jordan signed up for Celebrity Big Brother in the wake of him announcing he is leaving his job at the BBC.

The former I'm a Celebrity star rose to popularity over ten years on the Beeb's drivetime radio show before his shock decision to leave.

The Sun revealed Jordan's plans to take a big deal at a rival radio station, but fans recently became suspicious that he might take on a new reality TV role after a comment made by his old co-host.

After he paid a sweet tribute to his old job and coworkers, Vick wrote: "Christ I'll miss you so much Jord, what a radio legend and sweet sweet love. Will be voting for you every night on CBB!"

Chloe Brockett

The Sun revealed that ITV bosses had been in talks with Chloe, 23, to head into the famous home next month.

And adding fuel to the fire, the reality star - who is currently absent from the cast's Bali filming trip - recently refused to comment on whether she'll be returning to The Only Way Is Essex.

Chloe made a name for herself on the ITVBe show but has been embroiled in controversy after she was suspended from the programme following a 'glass-throwing' incident.

It is thought that she jumped at the chance to sign up to CBB as her fate on the show that made her a household name hangs in the balance.

Fern Britton tipped to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house

A source told us: “Chloe Brockett is in talks to appear on the show - nothing is signed yet but she’s really excited and can’t stop telling people.

"She grew up watching the show and her return to Towie is still uncertain so it would be a good show to do while she’s waiting to see if she’ll go back to it. ITV already know Chloe is great TV.”

Levi Roots

Dragons’ Den star Levi has reportedly been snapped up too.

A source told The Mirror: "Levi will be great for the Celebrity Big Brother house. He's got a few exciting projects coming up and he's such a fun character."

They added: "He's self-made and is an inspiration to a new generation."

Levi was spotted by a BBC producer for Dragons' Den in 2007.

He was on the BBC show looking for a £50,000 investment for a 40 percent stake in his business selling Levi Roots' Reggae Reggae Sauce.

It led him to stock his jerk barbecue sauce in Sainsbury's.

The 65-year-old has since become a regular on cooking TV shows, including BBC's Ready Steady Cook.

Chloe Burrows

Love Island favourite Chloe is in talks to appear on CBB, The Sun revealed in January.

An insider said: “Everyone is desperate to see Chloe Burrows head into the Love Island All Stars villa and shake things up with her ex, Toby Aromolaran, but she’s actually been in talks to star in another big ITV reality show instead.
