RYLAN Clark opened up about the Celebrity Big Brother line-up on This Morning today as host Eamonn Holmes revealed he has two friends going into the house.

The former winner of CBB refused to comment on who has signed up for the show, but revealed the line-up changed several times before it was confirmed this week.

The official line-up for the second season of the year was exclusively revealed by The Sun Online, confirming stars including Sam Fox and Marnie Simpson are heading for the house.

Rylan was asked about the list during his appearance on This Morning, but the Big Brother's Bit On The Side host insisted he has been sworn to silence.

However, he did reveal that producers "lost" two of the prospective housemates in the last two weeks, forcing a reshuffle.

Rylan said: "I would love to sit here and say to you, 'Yep this one's going in and that's one's going in'... But, this is the genuine truth - up until they walk through that door, we genuinely do not know if they are going to go in...

"There isn't a massive pool... We've got all our housemates [now]... We've lost one or two over the last couple of weeks."

His revelation prompted Eamonn to reveal he knew one of the candidates who didn't make the cut, and is also friends with two of those who made it through.

Eamonn said: "I heard a friend of mine didn't make it in... Someone I detest... Two friends of min are in there... [I can't say who]..."

It prompted his wife and co-host Ruth Langsford to exclaim: "It's a game of guess who now," and Eammon jokingly replied: "It wasn't the porn star."

Eammon's cheeky comment was a reference to CBB's Chloe Khan, who was reported to have been featured on an adult webcam site before signing up for the reality TV show.
