Meet the Celebrity Big Brother 2018 housemates
Here's the full line-up and everything you need to know about this year's contestants
Kieran Hayler
Katie Price's third husband Kieran Hayler is another name being rumoured for this series of CBB. The pair have split, and no doubt producers would be wanting Kieran to spill lots of juicy gossip about his ex-wife...
Jonathan Van Ness
Queer Eye has become one of Netflix's break-out hits with the fab five deploying their expert makeover skills on members of the public. And now it looks like CBB bosses have their eye on Jonathan Van Ness, one of the show's stars.
A 'source' told The Sun: "Bosses know what a hit Queer Eye has become and everyone's obsessed with Jonathan.
"They are desperate to land him for the next series and have told producers to do whatever it takes to get him to sign on the dotted line."
Although whether Van Ness will be willing to hop from a global hit to a Channel 5 reality series remains to be seen...

John Leslie
According to The Sun, talks were in progress with John Leslie, the former TV presenter who was once the face of Blue Peter, Wheel of Fortune and This Morning.
His career foundered in 2002 when allegations of sexual offences were made. Since then there have been a number arrests and charges in relation to other cases of sexual assault, but he has never been convicted of any sex crime.
A source apparently told the newspaper: "Producers for the show are particularly keen on signing John. They have tried previously but they are hopeful they can convince him to sign up. He has had a couple of meetings and the signs look promising."
However, the signs now look less promising after The Sun subsequently reported in August that Leslie had actually pulled out of the CBB line-up. A TV source told the paper: "John was offered a big, six-figure deal but turned it down and now he’s out of the running."
Samantha Markle
Samantha Markle, 53, is Meghan Markle's half-sister, and is no stranger to TV appearances following her several revealing interviews about Meghan's marriage to Prince Harry.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain about the rumours, she said: "I’ve worked in media most of my life, why would I not? Why would I stop living because I have a family issue going on?"
When asked again, she then added: "Erm… well, I would tell you, but then I would have to kill you, so…. I don’t want to find myself in locks and stocks quite frankly. It wouldn’t be becoming."
That's as good as a confirmation, right?
Georgia May Foote
Former Coronation Street actress Georgia May Foote is rumoured to be entering the CBB house this year. The 27-year-old won over viewers when she competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2015, and she dated her professional partner Giovanni Pernice until their split the following year.
