Austin Armacost to return to Celebrity Big Brother house months after revealing he feared he’d contracted HIV after being date-raped
The former boyfriend of Marc Jacobs will have the nation's hearts racing when he makes his comeback
AUSTIN Armacost is set to return to the Big Brother house in January.
The model, 28, will join rumoured returning housemates Bianca Gascoigne, Perez Hilton and Coleen Nolan.
Austin Armacost starred in Celebrity Big Brother 2015 coming runner up to Apprentice hunk James Hill.
A source told The Sun’s Bizarre TV: “Austin can’t wait to enter the Big Brother house again.
“He really enjoyed his time in there and is looking forward to the new challenge.
“He’s just gutted that James Hill won’t be joining him.”
The pair’s bromance in the house was the subject of much of the gossip of that series.
Austin also won praise from viewers after he shaved his head in the house in support of Gail Porter who suffers from Alopecia.
Rumours have been swirling about which housemates will enter the spy house in January.
Bosses sparked fierce debate over the latest confirmed housemate by sharing a mysterious video to social media earlier today.
The mystery housemate says: “I was fortunate enough to be part of the biggest music revolution that’s ever happened.
“I like to think of myself as a bit of an all-rounder. Jack of all trades. Master of none.”
Despite there being no further clues, many fans have commented on the YouTube clip suggesting it could be Fatman Scoop.
Fuelling this speculation, the rapper is currently in the country meaning he would have been available to film the teaser.
Fatman accidentally went viral after a fan spotted him in the background of the Merseyside derby at the weekend supporting Everton and Liverpool.
The picture of him cheering from the crowd racked up thousands of retweets online.
In a haunting blog post earlier this month, Austin shared a chilling “date rape” experience where he feared he had contract HIV.

He wrote: “I knew within a few minutes that he had drugged me and during the time I was out of it he had had sex with me. Without me being aware of it.”
Austin described locking himself away in his apartment afterwards, before it even dawned on him that the man was “HIV positive”.
