Big changes are in store for the forthcoming series as the Big Brother residence has been relocated to a "brand-new secret location".

The mystery venue will play host to "a new batch of VIPs" who are set to enter the original social construct.

In the previous year, David Potts took the crown amidst plenty of theatrics as the show marked its monumental comeback on ITV.

The broadcaster has kept tight-lipped about the official start date, though it is confirmed to be "set to air in spring".

With the anticipation of Celebrity Big Brother's imminent return, speculation is rife with guesses over the new participants.


Potential names already circulating include Olympic champions, Love Island celebs, and WAGs.

Below is a peek at all the whispered candidates thus far..., reports the Mirror.

Danny Beard

Among those tipped to appear ahead of the big kickoff is RuPaul's Drag Race UK champion Danny Beard, aged 32 – offstage known as Daniel Curtis.


The famed entertainer has graced several ITV programmes before, having sparred on both Britain's Got Talent and Karaoke Club: Drag Edition.

Danny, the champion of the fourth series of RPDR UK that aired in 2022, might have ruffled some feathers at Big Brother after their appearance on the spin-off show Late and Live last year.


They made waves when they swore while impersonating housemate Louis Walsh on the ITV2 show last March.

The episode saw Danny utter an expletive, immediately apologising after being told such language was not permitted on Late and Live.

Presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best also extended apologies to the audience over the incident.


Georgia Horsley

The former Miss England has been thrust into the limelight recently due to the controversy involving her husband Danny Jones.

He was caught on camera smooching Maura Higgins at a BRIT Awards afterparty last month, despite being a married man.

This scandal led Big Brother executives to attempt to sign Georgia for the latest series, hoping she would reveal all.

However, the Mirror confirmed that she declined the substantial offer as the mother-of-one "doesn't want to air her personal life in public" and instead wants to concentrate on her family, particularly their seven year old son Cooper.

A six-figure sum was reportedly on offer for her.


Daley Thompson

Double Olympic gold medallist Daley Thompson, 66, could be making his way into the Big Brother house for the upcoming series.

The former athlete, widely considered one of Britain's greatest all-rounders, is said to be in advanced negotiations with the show's producers.

Known for being a controversial figure during his competitive years, sources suggest this is why he's been targeted for a spot in the house.

Jack P Shepherd

Coronation Street actor Jack P Shepherd, famous for his role as Gail Platt's son David Platt, might be participating in the reality show.

In the last series, fellow Corrie star Colson Smith entertained viewers in the Big Brother house, seemingly inspiring Jack to follow suit.


Chris Hughes

Chris Hughes, who rose to fame on the 2017 series of Love Island, has reportedly agreed to appear on the show.

Producers are thrilled to have Chris onboard, who has successfully transitioned into a TV sports correspondent.

They also believe that his substantial social media following will draw a younger audience to the show.


During his stint on the show, he hit it off with Olivia Attwood and they bagged third place.

Post-show, their romance blossomed, leading to their own reality series, 'Chris and Olivia: Crackin' On'.

After they called it quits, Chris dabbled in music with Kem Cetinay as 'Chris and Kem', before switching gears to become a sports presenter.


Ella Rae Wise

TOWIE's Ella Rae Wise might dish the dirt on her rocky relationship with Dan Edgar if she enters the famous house.

CBB bosses are eager to sign Ella – who previously dated Pete Wicks – for the upcoming series, hoping she'll spill the beans on her other well-known exes.

Tommy Fury

25 year old professional boxer Tommy Fury was reportedly in the sights of producers late last year, with "big money offers" floating around, aiming to ramp up the ratings.


If he joins, chiefs are crossing their fingers he'll open up about his rollercoaster love life with Molly-Mae Hague after their unexpected breakup and hush-hush patch-up.

Rebekah Vardy

Rumours are swirling that Rebekah Vardy, ex-I'm A Celebrity contestant and wife of footballer Jamie Vardy, might join the new series.

The buzz has grown since Coleen Rooney, who came second on I'm A Celebrity last year and won the 'Wagatha Christie' libel case against Rebekah in 2022, made her appearance.

Rebekah is reportedly hoping to replicate the reality TV "success" of Coleen.

An insider revealed to OK! magazine: "It's looking very likely that Rebekah Vardy could be doing Celebrity Big Brother.


"And Becky will be hoping very much to emulate Coleen's success in the jungle, and turn public opinion around totally, with a stint on the show."

Ella Morgan

Reality TV sensation Ella Morgan first made her mark on Married at First Sight UK in 2023.

Despite not being paired on the programme, she had a fleeting romance with JJ Slater, who is currently dating Katie Price.

Ella, recognised as the first transgender contestant on MAFS, later appeared on another E4 programme, Celebs Go Dating.

It's rumoured that she has had discussions with ITV executives about joining Big Brother.
