FOUR brand new Celebrity Big Brother housemates ‘confirmed’ ahead of Thursday’s launch
There's a Loose Woman and former Eastenders star amongst the mix now
FOUR new Celebrity Big Brother housemates have reportedly been confirmed.
After we revealed the first 13 celebrities set to enter the house, it’s now been claimed by the that Colin Newell, James Whale, Saira Khan and Ricky Norwood will be joining the stars during Thursday's launch.
Saira Khan
Saira first shot to fame as a runner up on The Apprentice. Since then the 46-year-old has become a daytime TV favourite thanks to her outspoken views on Loose Women.
Most recently she hit the headlines after lifting the lid on her sex life with husband Steven Hyde - claiming she'd happily let her man sleep with other women as she's "no longer interested" in having sex.
Colin Newell
Colin Newell will be known to most as the star of Storage Hunters UK, a show which features a group of bidders travelling around disused storage containers while sifting for hidden gems.
He’s regularly found trying to battle out the best possible deal alongside host Sean Kelly after a UK version of the show was comissioned in 2014.
Ricky Norwood
EastEnders favourite Ricky Norwood, 29, is also set to enter the house.
His character Fatboy was killed off the soap last year following a leaked video of him allegedly performing a sex act while smoking an illegal substance.
Amid his controversial exit, a spokesperson for EastEnders said: "We can confirm Ricky is leaving. We wish him all the best.”
James Whale
The controversial radio host hit the headlines back in 2008 after he was sacked by Talksport after twice urging listeners to vote for Boris Johnson.
After investigation, Ofcom fined Talksport £20,000, saying he had "seriously breached the due impartiality rules at the time of an election".
The four new famous faces will be joining the likes of Marnie Simpson, Samantha Fox, Christopher Biggins and Chloe Khan after we exclusively revealed the first 13 confirmed contestants on Tuesday.
Since then we've revealed how all is not as it seems with the brand new series and many of the contestants have previous links to each other - with some even choosing to spend their final few days of freedom together ahead of entering the house.
American housemates Renee Graziano and Aubrey O'Day, pictured above, first met at a party in 2012 and have become close friends since.
