It’s also alleged some stars haven’t even “signed on the dotted line yet”, but bosses want the celebs that do to be “outrageous” in their introductory segments. AJ Odudu, 35, and Will Best, 38, are expected to return as hosts.

“The first ones are set to be filmed in just a couple of weeks in mid February, and they should all be shot by the end of the month, bar any late signings. Producers want this year’s stars to be really outrageous in their opening segments, so will be encouraging them to deliver their fighting talk and make dramatic promises that will hook viewers in.”

“He finalised the terms of his deal today and can’t wait to enter the house. The CBB team love him because of his link to Kate and the fact that he’s confident and loud and won’t hold back.
Gary, who was present at Kate and Williams wedding in 2011, apparently has some big views on Harry and Meghan and producers are said to be rubbing their hands together at the thought of him discussing matters that have captivated Great Britain over the last few years. While it appears that Gary is a done deal, it is unknown who else has finalised deals.

The rumour mill has been in a spin for quite a while with regards to those who could take centre stage on the muc awaited programme. Dragon’s Den star Levi Roots and former X Factor judge and Irish boyband expert Louis Walsh are also speculated to be in talks with CBB chiefs.
Additionally, Love Island star Chloe Burrows is anticipated to almost have her deal across the line with bosses. However, with her ex Toby Aromolaran currently on the All Stars series right now it’s anyone’s guess which one she’ll show up on.
