Before Celebrity Big Brother’s return this year, there has already been some rumors about who might be on the program.
ITV revived the program last year, and it was made public a few months later that it had been renewed for a second series. Although the broadcaster previously stated that the new series will “set to air in spring,” no launch date has yet been made public by the company.
The first series saw the likes of Louis Walsh, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Zeze Millz and Nikita Kuzmin live in the Big Brother house. In March of last year, David Potts came out on top of the television series, which ran for less than three weeks.
There are already rumors about who might be included in the next group of housemates on the beloved reality TV show before Celebrity Big Brother’s return. Although ITV hasn’t yet released the lineup for the new series of the show, we’ve looked at just a few of the potential contestants.
Tommy Fury
Professional boxer Tommy Fury, 25, was said to have been eyed up by producers towards the end of last year. It was reported back in October that “big money offers” were circulating, with it suggested that he could boost ratings.
The speculation came after it was announced in August that Tommy and his fiancée Molly-Mae Hague, 25, had parted ways after five years together. The pair has a daughter together, having first met on Love Island in 2019.
Tommy denied he cheated amid the rumors, and the news attracted a lot of attention. Since their split, the two people have reportedly reconciled, and Molly-Mae has refuted claims that their breakup was a publicity stunt.
Rebekah Vardy
It’s been teased that former I’m A Celebrity campmate Rebekah Vardy, 42, who’s married to Jamie Vardy, could be taking part in the new series. The speculation comes after Coleen Rooney – who won the ‘Wagatha Christie’ libel case brought against her by Rebekah in 2022 – was runner-up on I’m A Celebrity last year. It’s been suggested that Rebekah would hope to experience similar reality TV “success” as Coleen.
As reported last month, a source told OK! magazine: “It’s looking very likely that Rebekah Vardy could be doing Celebrity Big Brother. And Becky will be hoping very much to emulate Coleen’s success in the jungle, and turn public opinion around totally, with a stint on the show.”
Ella Morgan
Reality TV star Ella Morgan, 31, rose to fame on Married at First Sight UK in 2023. Although they weren’t matched on the show, she ended up having a brief romance with JJ Slater, who is now in a relationship with Katie Price.
Ella later participated in another E4 show, and is credited with being the first transgender contestant to make an appearance on MAFS. She made a relationship with Celebs Go Dating last year, but it has since ended.
In November, a source told the Sun that Ella had a meeting with ITV producers about appearing in Celebrity Big Brother’s upcoming season. Ella is ready for it, even though the negotiations are still in the early stages, and her bosses were impressed. They added: “She knows how to bring drama]and] she is also a great representative of the LGBTQ+ community, so watch this space”.
Other names
Ella is among the favourites in odds released by bookmaker Betfred recently at 1/4 and 1/1 respectively. Jeffree Star, a makeup artist, and Amelia Dimoldenberg, a presenter, are other favorites with odds of 1 / 1. Mitch Taylor, the former Love Island star, Cheryl Fergison from EastEnders, and Helen Worth from Coronation Street have odds of 4/1. At 6 / 1, 8 / 1, and 12 / 1, respectively, the current odds include former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Lisa Rinna, politician Kwasi Kwarteng, and former This Morning host Phillip Schofield.
