Celebrity Big Brother hosts Emma Willis and Rylan get excited in teaser shot for the new series
The reality show will begin in January on broadcaster Channel 5
WIDE-EYED Emma Willis and Rylan Clark-Neal were seen getting VERY excited about the new series of Celebrity Big Brother in a teaser snap shared by producers on social media.
The cute image, uploaded by official account @bbbots_uk, shows the pair in selfie mode with their mouths open in a squeal and the caption: "Get excited!! Celebrity Big Brother is returning very soon," alongside an Emoji icon pale with shock.
Yet while fans are being primed for the reality show's next instalment in January, producers are keeping the exact launch date under wraps.
A spokesperson for broadcaster Channel 5 declined to reveal the specifics and told The Sun Online it would be "sometime next year."
Loyal show fans were quick to comment under the image and proved they were just as eager for it to kick off as main host Emma and Big Brother's Bit On The Side frontman Rylan.
One gushed: "Thank the lord for that seriously cannot wait for it to start," while another pleaded: "Stop it ... it's making me too excited!"
Another wrote: "Glad it's coming back but PLEASE have more celebrities and less reality stars thanks xx."
One rather sceptical viewer added: "Hope it's better than the one before and Emma is still doing it or leaving."
Scant details have been revealed about the show - which will see another famous face take Ex on the Beach star Stephen Bear's crown.
Yet it has been confirmed the show will be one week shorter than usual.
This means the series will run for only 24 days.
The guide, posted by Channel 5’s sales department for partnership deals, stated the show will run for “24 days in January.”
Meanwhile, we revealed back in August that CBB bosses were planning to bring back some of the most memorable celebrity housemates in a Gold Stars vs All Stars series.
A CBB source told us: “Bringing back the celebs they know will cause the drama would result in the most explosive series so far."
Celebs such as Stephen Bear, Katie Price, Katie Hopkins, Perez Hilton and Lee Ryan are said to be on the C5 wish list.
Meanwhile reality star couple Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag – known as Speidi – have reportedly signed a six-figure deal to take part.
Producers are keen to bring the Americans back to the Channel 5 show after their infamous appearance on series 11 back in 2013, where they finished runners-up to Xtra Factor host Rylan Clark-Neal.
As well as Speidi, former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer James Jordan, who finished in third place in series 14 in 2014, has reportedly signed back on to do the all-star series.
