Although currently unconfirmed, it’s thought CBB will return in the first week of January – and we can’t think of a better way to start 2016.

According to reports, the house has undergone a complete transformation and will have an ‘antiquated’ feel, taking influences from the East End of London…

Which means our first rumoured housemate will feel RIGHT at home. Former EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook, who allegedly failed psyche tests to appear this year, has reportedly signed a £200,000 to take part.

Strictly Come Dancing professional Kristina Rihanoff is also in the rumoured line-up, with bosses no doubt hoping she’ll open up about her relationship with rugby hunk Ben Cohen.

A source told The Sun: “She hasn’t told bosses at Strictly she’s going, but there is next to no change that they will have her back when they hear she’s signed up for CBB.”

He managed three days in the jungle this year, and Spencer Matthews is said to be hoping a stint in the house will ‘save his career’ – after he was booted off of I’m a Celeb for his alleged addiction to steroids.

Controversial comedian Dapper Laughs is also allegedly getting ready for his biggest gig yet.

Speaking to the Daily Star, an insider revealed: “No doubt he is keen to try and show that his off-stage persona is sensitive and caring. But his signing is bound to anger the campaigners who called for a boycott of his shows. He will have to work very hard to win them around.”

Axed Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Davis was forced to pull out of I’m a Celeb this year, when it was revealed her nut allergy could’ve been potentially fatal in the jungle.

After confirming the news on Twitter, Steph assured fans she had an exciting project coming up – and it’s thought she was talking about Celebrity Big Brother.

Gemma Collins quit the jungle in 2014 after just three days and also left The Only Way Is Essex for good this year, and now she’s said to have signed a six-figure sum to take part in CBB.

A source told the Mirror: “Gemma is feisty and loves a spat, she’s not afraid of confrontation and would make a great housemate. She’s all about the drama and always speaks her minds.”

US stars currently in the frame include rapper Vanilla Ice, RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Bianca Del Rio and Octomom.
