Ooh! Is this Emmerdale actress going into the CBB house?

With 2018 just around the corner, the return of Celebrity Big Brother** **to Channel 5 is only a matter of days away, so as you can imagine rumours about which celebrities will be joining the show are heating up.

With the likes of Laura Simpson, Louise Thompson and Michelle Mone already being spoken about, the latest celebrity rumoured to be entering the show is popular Emmerdale actress Charley Webb.

Charley, who plays Debbie Dingle in the ITV soap, is reportedly being tipped by bookies after her brother Jamie Lomas' recent stint on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

Jamie finished in second place in the jungle, losing out in the final to Made In Chelsea star Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo.

However, despite the new rumours, Charley is yet to comment about whether she'll be on the show.

Meanwhile the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother** **is set to throw up some massive changes from previous years.

To begin with all of the housemates for the 2018 series will be female! This is in a salute to a centenary of women’s suffrage, as the nation marks 100 years since women won the right to vote for the very first time.

The house won't stay female only however as male housemates will be joining the show later in the series. The gender stereotypes will be challenged and hopefully we'll get to see fascinating truths about what it is to be a woman - and man - in the 21st century!

According to Channel 5 Celebrity Big Brother 2018 is set to be celebratory, surprising and insightful.

Bosses released images of the brand new house interior last week, check it out below:

The new series will be presented once again by Emma Willis who has presented it since 2013 with Rylan Clark-Neal returning for** **Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On the Side.

Celebrity Big Brother will return to Channel 5 on Tuesday 2nd January at 9pm.
