Celebs on the Farm will see ten celebrities edure daily challenges of agricultural life.
A TV source told the Sun’s Bizarre TV column: “Everyone loves Bobby.
“And he’s a familiar face for Channel 5 having been on Celebrity Ghost Hunt. So he’s a guaranteed hit.
“Louie, well everyone knows what Louie is like. He’ll be dancing around the farm, getting muddy and will be as hilarious as ever.”

Earlier this month the Sun revealed Channel 5 was reviving the infamous show.
The 2004 and 2005 hit featured the likes of Vanilla Ice, Paul Daniels, Keith Harris and Orville The Duck.
And most notoriously it saw David Beckham’s former secretary Rebecca Loos had to "collect semen" from a pig for a task.
A TV source said: “Channel 5 is trying to distance the old show from this one but there will be a few viewers who tune in just to see if it’s similar. It’ll be a new ten part series on 5Star this year.
“They’re hoping for some top names to do team and individual challenges to see who can most closely replicate the characteristics of the best farmers — patience, passion, resilience, adaptability and, most importantly, hard work.
“They’ll have to impress two of the UK’s top farmers to win the show.”
