Celebrity Big Brother fans in meltdown over new housemate teaser ‘that features The Chase’s Mark Labbett’

CELEBRITY Big Brother fans are convinced The Chase’s Mark Labbett has signed up for the show.

When bosses teased the next housemate during a video posted on Twitter, some claimed they knew it was Mark because of his size and shape.

The 19-second long clip shows the outline of a man walking into shot.

He’s accompanied by the words “cutting and callous” then, somewhat bizarrely, “Eminem”.

Fans were quick to assume it was Mark however, with one tweeting: “Marc from the Chase! I’d know that silhouette anywhere He’ll eat them alive…”

Another added: “IF THAT IS MARK LABBETT THEN I AM BUZZING OMG.”

If Mark is entering the house – for the special All Stars And New Stars edition of the show – he’ll be joining a star studded cast.

Earlier this week The Sun revealed footballer and Danielle Lloyd’s ex-husband Jamie O’Hara had signed up to the show.

A source said: “Jamie is the big surprise signing for this year’s series.

“It’s not been an easy decision for him to make but with all his injuries he needs to be earning some money.

“As it’s a new stars versus old stars series, there have been attempts to sign Danielle as well.

“Obviously there is no love lost before the pair so it could be explosive if both appear.”

The only other footballers ever to appear on CBB were already retired, with both RAZOR RUDDOCK and VINNIE JONES entering the house in previous series.

This year’s series is an All Stars vs New Stars special and other contestants likely to be shacking up with Jamie when the show begins on January 3 are Shameless actor JODY LATHAM, NICOLA MCLEAN and BIANCA GASCOIGNE.

Jamie’s ex Danielle previously appeared on the fifth series of CBB while it was still on Channel 4 and became embroiled in a high-profile race row after the public claimed her comments — along with JADE GOODY and S CLUB 7 star JO O’MEARA — towards SHILPA SHETTY were racist.

The couple were married in 2012 and have three sons, Archie, Harry and George.

They divorced in 2014 after Jamie was alleged to have had an affair with a woman he met in a Birmingham nightclub.

Earlier that year Danielle was pictured snogging her Splash co-star DAN OSBORNE in a Plymouth nightclub.

Danielle once claimed Jamie would never ever appear on CBB, saying in 2013: “No, 100 per cent no. There’s no way he’d take part in a thing like that.”
