Celebrity Big Brother’s shock twist as TWO more famous faces set to enter house after tonight’s live launch
CELEBRITY Big Brother is pulling out all the stops to ensure the new series is a ratings hit – by sending in two more housemates later this week.
The official line-up for series 19 of the hit Five reality show was has been revealed by The Sun .
But another two stars will enter the house on Friday to bring extra drama to the All Stars V New Stars themed series.
“Two more faces will enter the house on Friday night,” a source confirmed.
“The identities are being kept top secret but fans can definitely expect added tension and drama once the late comers make their presence known,” they continued.
“It will be a shock twist for the housemates that will already be entering the house on Tuesday night and viewers can expect to see dynamics and blossoming friendships rocked when the two extra celebrities join,” they said.
So far seven returning stars have been confirmed, as well as seven new contestants that are making their CBB debut.
Those returning are; American singer Nicola McLean, American model Austin Armacost, Loose Women star Coleen Nolan, married The Hills stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag (who count as one contestant as they would be evicted together), British model Calum Best, ex-Strictly star James Jordan, and American model Jasmine Waltz.
New faces to enter the house are; American singer Stacy Francis, radio DJ Brandon Block, footballer Jamie O’Hara, Kim Kardashian’s sex tape co-star Ray J, model Bianca Gascoigne, Calum Best’s mum Angie, and Game of Thrones star James Cosmo.
While the late entry contestants expected on Friday remain a mystery, a number of high-profile names have been mentioned.
Former X Factor favourites – and previous 2011 contestants – Jedward (aka John and Edward Grimes) had previously been suggested (and they recently announced 2017 would be “Jepic” on Twitter).
Another ex-X Factor star linked to the new series is Sam Callahan – who is said to be keen for a career boost after he endured a sex act video leak last year as his singing career stalled.
Made In Chelsea star Sam Thomspon is also rumoured to have been in the line-up – so he could follow in the footsteps of fellow MIC stars Ollie Locke and Stephanie Pratt who appeared on the show in 2014.
Meanwhile Khloe Kardashaian’s best friend and assistant Malika Haqq has also been rumoured to enter the house – which could cause friction with Ray J who starred in a sex tape with Khloe’s sister Kim.
It might also be possible that Celebrity Big Brother spin-off host Rylan Clark could enter the house on Friday as well - as it has been reported he will be going back inside the camera-filled enclosure for a showdown with former rivals Spencer and Heidi.
Tune into Celebrity Big Brother for the launch night on Tuesday 3 January 2017 at 9pm on Five.
