Regular Big Brother isn't over yet but anticipation over the celebrity edition is already building. We won't know for sure who the contestants are until the big launch but that hasn't stopped the rumours from circulating. We look at those tipped to be the likely contenders.
Katie Waissel
Waissel appeared on the 2010 series of The X Factor and attracted a lot of attention from viewers due to her eccentric, over-confident personality. Her fame only grew when cameras caught her emotional reaction to her grandmother being exposed by a newspaper as a prostitute.
Her personal life has been similarly turbulent in the years since: her marriage to model Brad Alphonso lasted only two months.
Grant Bovey
Property magnate Grant Bovey was married to Anthea Turner for 15 years but the pair divorced in October after Bovey had an affair. He was also declared bankrupt in 2010 so could probably use the £100,000 fee that he has reportedly been offered – no doubt the producers are hoping for some frank discussions about his marriage.
Turner appeared on the show herself, back in 2001, and was the third contestant to be evicted.
Samantha Fox
It may come as a surprise to some that former glamour model Samantha Fox hasn't been on the show before. The 50-year-old has, however, previously appeared on Celebrity Wife Swap and I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
It's been a particularly hard year for Fox, having lost her long-term partner, Myra Stratton, to cancer in August.
Helen Lederer
The comedian, writer and actress is best known for playing fashion journalist Catriona in Absolutely Fabulous. She was reportedly approached by producers in 2009 but was unable to take part due to scheduling conflicts. If she does appear in this year's competition she should provide some welcome wit.
Tulisa Contostavlos
The singer and former X Factor judge is attempting to relaunch her career after being largely out of the limelight since 2013. CBB producers are reportedly desperate to sign her up for the show but currently her representatives deny that she will be appearing.
