CBB - Rumour Run Down

Lauren Harries 

Lauren (then James) was a child prodigy in the field of antiques appearing on several TV shows and in later life is more notable as an aspiring transgender celebrity. Likelihood? Very, we have it on good authority that after years of rumours Lauren will be enterting the BBUK house.

Abz Love

Member of late 90s early 00’s boy band Five, has had a history of financial and drug issues, so it’s only natural for him to do the reality TV circuit isn’t it?! Recently could be seen on the big reunion TV show that put the boy band back together for a series of one off shows. Likelihood? Pretty likely.

Courtney Snodden

First thing that comes to my head was who?! Not to be horrible, but I had never heard her name before. Apparently she’s big in America for being the 16 year old who married then 51 year old Green Mile actor Doug Hutchinson. Ok… next… Likelihood? Very, spotted on her way to the UK, and there’s always one in there that’s famous for dating someone famous.

Helen Flannigan

Corrie star and ex-girlfriend of the footballer Scott Sinclair, will be better known by reality TV fans as the wimp  from the bushtucker trails on I’m A Celebrity… If she goes into the house, I’m sure she will feel a lot more comfortable in this reality TV setting… until they re-hash the zombie attack challenge ;-) Likelihood? Possible, she loves a bit of press and it’s the perfect chance for channel 5 to promote their new show ‘Celebrity Super Spa’ which she’s filmed.

Ron Atkinson

One of the UK’s most famous managers and personalities of the 80’s & 90’s, Big Ron Atkinson has disappeared from the public eye since his disgrace 9 years ago making racist remarks about Chelsea’s Marcel Desailly when he thought he wasn’t live on the air. I’m not sure going into a house where everything he says will be picked up is the best idea, but hey ho. Likelihood? Very, one of the first to be rumoured and probably would be grateful for the cash.

Louie Spence

Shot the fame as the flamboyant star of ‘Pineapple Dance Studios’ and became a household name when he was given a judging role on ‘Dancing On Ice’ but after being ‘let go’ last series he’s been fairly quiet. Likelihood? Possible, perfect time to try a career ‘revival’.

Mark Morrison

The man that the phrase One Hit Wonder could have been written for is tipped to be the replacement for Outkast’s Big Boi. Famous for his one hit wonder “Return Of The Mack” in the 90s. At the height of his fame, was put in prison for trying to carry a gun on a plane, you know as you do. Likelihood? Very, the token ‘who?’

Charlotte-Letitia Crosby

Much loved star of MTV hit series ‘Geordie Shore’ Charlotte shot to fame for her drunken antics and not so lady like manners. Likelihood? Very! One of the first to be rumoured and after her not so complimentary tweets in recent weeks regarding Geordie Shore it could be her perfect platform to leave and carve our a new career.

Chris Fountain

Recently disgraced ex-Corrie star who was fired from his job after he was found out to be the masked man on a rap video that was promoting rape and violence. Apparently, he has apologised to his friends, family and the bosses of Coronation Street, but reportedly he now wants to apologise to the nation via Big Brother. Could be interesting, especially if Mike Morrison and himself start freestyling and forgetting the camera’s are on. Likelihood? Possible, has previously said he'd never do a show like BB and might be slightly too soon, could see him later on in the year on another Reality Show. Unless he want to get is career back on track sooner rather than later.

Bruce Jones

Aka Les Battersby in Coronation Street. Has battled depression and alcoholism for years, and seems to be setup as this years Denise Welsh with the story of reaching the edge and trying to claw his way back. Good on him I say, I just always fear that putting someone with these issues into a stressful environment will lead to a car wreck but we will see. Likelihood? Possible, its unlikely both him and Chris fountain will enter, one disgraced, sacked, ex-Corrie actor is enough.

Bill Oddie

Yes honest to god, Bill Oddie says he was approached for the series. He published a tweet saying “My agent just called –“Is Bill available to do Celebrity Big Brother?” Well, folks what do you think? (It’s a lot of money!)”. Judging from the tone of the tweet, I can’t see it happening, but if it did it would ruffle some feathers… Likelihood? Who knows, He tweeted he’s turned the offer down but that was some time ago, minds and bank balances can quickly change.

Dustin Diamond

Dustin is better known to the 80s children as Screech from Saved By The Bell. After directing, ‘starring’ and releasing his own sex tape several years ago he lost all serious acting credibility. Likelihood? Very, it wouldn’t be Celeb big brother without an off the wall American.

Mario Falcone

Star of ITV2 hit show ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ Mario has become some what of a hate figure (mainly by his ex-girlfriend) for his womanising and general ‘toolish’ behaviour. Likelihood? Very, several TOWIE sources have hinted it true and it might be the perfect time for him to try and change public perception and steer away from the ‘bad boy of Essex’ persona.

Sophie Anderton

Model and ‘reality TV personality’ considered an ‘IT’ girl back in the day Sophie led a life full of parties and drugs. Sophie is no stranger to the reality TV circuit Sophie has appeared in ‘Im a Celeb…’ and ‘Love Island. Likelihood? Possible, even though she’s denied it that means nothing these days.

Carol McGiffin

Regular on ITV’s Loose Women, Carol is known for her strong sometimes controversial views as well as her no shame partying. Perfect for the Big Brother house. Likelihood? Very, although as a past guest Carol has said she’d never go in, its almost a tradition now that one of the Loose Women take part and they’re running out of panellists to have on the show.
