Celebrity Big Brother Line-Up
Louis Walsh
Best known for spending over a decade as a judge on singing talent show X-Factor, Louis Walsh has made a successful career out of music management.
Having managed Johnny Logan, Boyzone, Jedward and Westlife amongst others, the Irish TV personality and music tycoon has been responsible for selling millions of records worldwide.
Although he started as the early Celebrity Big Brother odds favourite to outlast the rest of the household, he has now fallen to 10/1.
Due to his larger-than-life personality, which has sometimes landed him in hot water with colleagues and the media, voters will want to keep him in, with hopes of drama unfolding.
He has already been widely criticise on social media for saying housemate Colson Smith has “big ears” and demanding Lauren Simon “get up” when she sat on his bed.
He looks set to be the villain of the rebooted series.
Ekin-Su Culculoglu
Bookmakers have made Ekin-Su Culculoglu the warm favourite, who after starring on Turkish soap operas, won the eighth series of popular reality romance show Love Island.
Now seemingly on the reality TV trail, she also competed in series 15 of Dancing on Ice and the US version of mystery show The Traitors.
Colson Smith
Coronation Street icon Colson Smith has been tipped for a deep run after being rumoured for a Celebrity Big Brother appearance.
Smith is synonymous with Corrie fans having played ‘Craig Tinker’ for well over a decade, and more recently has sampled the world of reality TV with appearances on Sitting on a Fortune and The Games.
Levi Roots
Businessman, reggae musician, television personality, celebrity chef, author…there isn’t much Levi Roots hasn’t done across his colourful career.
Having already appeared on the normal Big Brother, the Reggae Reggae Sauce creator is back to do it all over again as a celebrity.
Find me a person who doesn’t like Levi Roots…he could go far.
Nikita Kuzim
If you are an avid Strictly Come Dancing viewer, Nikita Kuzmin will be familiar.
The Ukrainian-Italian is a six-time national champion in Italy, and has taken his expertise to the small screen with three seasons so far on BBC’s professional dance show.
Having finished runner-up in series 21 alongside partner Layton Williams, Kuzmin is now looking to go one better in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Bradley Riches
Bradley Riches, who you may have seen in Netflix’s show Heartstopper, is an actor and children’s author who has been widely commended for his stories addressing his own autism diagnosis.
Jordan Sangha, who won the show’s first reboot in 2023, also happens to be a close friend of Bradley’s.
Zeze Millz
The Zeze Millz Show has risen to prominence on YouTube, and as such Zeze Millz has made a successful career out of interviewing high-profile names in the Black Community.
On top of weekly appearances on Channel 4, various producer roles and co-hosting duties at awards, her infectious personability should see her become a likeable figure in the Big Brother house.
Fern Britton
A much-loved TV presenter since the days hosting Breakfast Time in the 1980s, Fern Britton is best known for stints on Ready Steady Cook and This Morning.
Smiley, charismatic and impossible not to like, the presenter-turned-author should be a big hit amongst the Big Brother contestants.
David Potts
Relatively speaking, David Potts is a reality TV veteran.
Having starred as head rep on the ITV2 reality series Ibiza Weekender and its successor Kavos Weekender, the larger-than-life TV personality has chalked up experience on Celebs Go Dating, Celebs on the Farm, Celebrity Karaoke Club and Celebrity Ghost Trip.
His incredible body transformation should be a strong talking point in the house after a dramatic weight loss recently.
Lauren Simon
Lauren Simon is one of the OG Housewives of Cheshire, joining the cast for series one way back in 2015.
As one of the longest serving cast members, Simon is currently filming for series 17, although she is rumoured to be putting that on hold for the time being as she enters the Big Brother house.
Marisha Wallace
Marisha may be an unknown quantity heading into the house, but her background in musical theatre should make her an entertaining character.
Having started out on stage in her native USA, Wallace has starred in famous West End productions such as Hairspray, Guys and Dolls and Oklahoma, for which she earned an Olivier Award nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.
Gary Goldsmith
Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary Goldsmith has previously been keen to enter the jungle for ‘I’m a Celebrity’, but has since landed a reported mega-money deal to enter the Big Brother house.
Although his only claim to fame is indeed his ties to the Princess of Wales, the IT technician has vowed to discuss all topics to do with the royals. At 20/1 according to the latest odds, he could be one to keep an eye on, should be keep true to his word.
