While January, so far, is proving to be pretty bleak, a shining beacon of light is that one of our fave TV shows in the history of TV shows, Celebrity Big Brother, is back on our screens tonight.

ICYMI, this year there's a big twist. To mark one hundred years of women's suffrage, the CBB house will be made up of an all-female line-up for the first four days. A number of male celebs will then enter the house to mix things up a bit.

There's been a lot of speculation over which famous faces will be entering the house ahead of tonight's launch, and now the official lineup has been revealed.

It's also been reported a 'mystery non-celeb' will be thrown into the mix during tonight's launch.
