Celebrity Big Brother 2025: 24 celebs in rumoured line-up including Married at First Sight and Love Island stars

The Celeb version, which will air in the spring, will come before a third civilian version. Both will mark the 25th anniversary of the original social experiment TV show.

Celebrity Big Brother made a comeback in March last year, after ITV revived the show in 2023, with twelve well-known personalities living together for a two and a half weeks. As always, they were under constant surveillance, had to complete various challenges - all in the hope of avoiding eviction and being crowned the winner.

Among those vying for the crown in last year’s edition were presenter Fern Britton, music manager Louis Walsh, Coronation Street actor Colson Smith and the Princess of Wales' uncle Gary Goldsmith. Reality star David Potts, known for his role on Ibiza Weekender, won in the end.

So, which celebrities are thought to be heading in the CBB house this year? Here’s all we know so far.

Tommy Fury

25-year-old boxer Tommy Fury, who is the younger brother of fellow boxer Tyson Fury, is no stranger to the reality scene as he took part in ITV dating show Love Island in 2019. Fury was reportedly due to take part in last year’s I’m a Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here, but pulled out at the last minute.

Eamonn Holmes

Eamonn Holmes has caused quit a stir in the last few years. Firstly because of his feud with former This Morning colleague Phillip Schofield. Secondly, it was due to the breakdown of this marriage to Ruth Langsford after 14 years together - and then debuting his relationship with new girlfriend Katie Alexander, who is around 20 years his junior, just two months later. So, the TV presenter would have plenty to talk about.

Joe Locke

21-year-old actor Joe Locke is one of the rising stars of the moment. He is known for his lead role as high school student Charlie Spring in the Netflix teen series Heartstopper, for which he received a nomination for the inaugural Children's and Family Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Performance.

It's been a few months since Vardy watched on from her sofa as her former court rival and fellow WAG Coleen Rooney headed into the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! jungle so there’s rumours she’s keen to back into reality TV herself. Vardy did also previously enter into the I’m a Celeb jungle.

Paris Fury

Leyfield thinks there’s a 40% chance Paris Fury, wife of boxing legend Tyson Fury, will be going in to the famous house this year.

Former MP Nadine Dorries, who was suspended from the Conservative party whip in 2012 for taking part in I’m a Celebrity, may be having another go at reality TV and appearing on CBB.

Annie Kilner

Kyle Walker’s wife Annie Kilner is reportedly in talks to join the cast of this year’s Celebrity Big Brother.

The former Manchester City star may have just made the move to Italy to join AC Milan, but Annie could be staying into the UK as she is said to be eyeing up a £750,000 deal to join the hit ITV reality show. However, before signing on the dotted line, the 32-year-old is said to have made one huge stipulation to producers.

The Sun reports that Annie has agreed to sign on only if her love rival Lauryn Goodman does not also appear on the show. Kyle’s affair with the 34-year-old influencer and model hit the headlines after she revealed that the footballer had fathered a second child with her despite still being married to Annie, who was pregnant with the couple’s fourth child when the scandalous affair came to light.

Annie filed for divorce from the Kyle in late 2024, but the couple are said to be putting the separation on hold.

Chris Hughes

Love Island 2017 finalist Chris Hughes is set to enter the CBB house in the coming weeks, according to The Sun.

A source recently told the publication: “Producers think Chris will be a great addition to the house. He is really entertaining and was one of the most popular and iconic reality contestants with a massive social media following.

“Execs are hoping he will bring his huge young fanbase with him to the show, along with some juicy tales. He's got loads of showbiz mates and has some famous ex girlfriends - he'll be brilliant.”

Natalie Cassidy

41-year-old actress Natalie Cassidy, who has portrayed Sonia Fowler on EastEnders since she was 10 years old, is set to leave the soap as part of its 40th-anniversary celebrations. So, she could have plenty of time to go in the jungle.

In February, she was unmasked as Bush on ITV’s The Masked Singer, so it could be that she is making the transition in to reality TV. She’s also previously competed on Strictly Come Dancing.

Speaking to the Sun, brand expert Nick Ede said: “Obviously EastEnders gives a really good salary and shows like Strictly, which she did in 2009, pay very well. But away from the BBC she can now do endorsement deals and commercial deals - she can utilise her following on social media to promote stuff.

“I know she's going to be hosting a couple of documentaries for Channel 4, which is quite interesting because people like her.” Ede added that Natalie’s final destination in 2025 is likely to be ITV’s I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

Ella Rae Wise

The Only Way is Essex star Ella Rae Wise has reportedly signed up for this year’s CBB, according to The Sun. The publication thinks she could give all the tea on her ex Pete Wicks and her current Dancing on Ice beau Dan Edgar.

The star has recently been filming in Bali with the ITVBe cast, but has suppoesedly been working with Towie producers to film exit scenes later this month which will see friends wave her off for a new "project".

A source said: "Ella has lots of promise and producers think she'll be really good on CBB as one of the youngest housemates. She'll bring a lot of fresh viewers with her and could spill on her famous love life.

Jack P Shepherd

David Platt actor Jack P Shepherd may be swapping the Coronation Street cobbles for the CBB house this year.

It’s rumoured that he may be about to leave the ITV soap after 25 years, and those rumours have been further fuelled after it was reported that the actor would be taking up residence in the Celebrity Big Brother house as a contestant in the new series.

Daley Thompson

Olympic legend Daley Thompson is reportedly in advanced talks with ITV bosses to join the CBB line-up this year.

A source told The Sun: “Daley is notoriously unwoke and likes to be provocative, so it will be interesting to see how he is received by some of the younger housemates. As someone who was at the height of his fame in the Eighties, many of them will barely know who he is - but for a generation of older viewers he'll be seen as a great signing.”

Georgia Jones

Former Miss England Georgia Jones, who is married to McFly’s Danny Jones, could be about to sign up to become a CBB housemate.

It comes after Danny and Love Island star Maura Higgins were allegedly seen sharing a kiss at the Universal Music's Brits afterparty on March 1. Danny, Georgia or Maura have not spoken out publicly on the supposed kiss.

"There's no doubt that Danny and Maura would be watching through cracks between their fingers if Georgia gave a warts-and-all account of her reaction on the night and afterwards," insiders told The Sun.
