Celebrity Big Brother is returning for a brand new series in 2017, with an exciting twist.

The show is due to bring back several former CBB contestants as ‘All Stars’, alongside a ‘New Stars’ set of housemates.

That opens up all kinds of possibilities about favourite former participants returning to wreak more reality TV havoc.

Here are the rumours over who could be coming back.

Katie Price is reality TV royalty – so much so that she entered the January 2015 series of Celebrity Big Brother half way through and went on to win. She has commented on Twitter that word of her return is “only rumours”, but says she “would do Big Brother again”.

Stephen Bear

Channel 5

Controversial Ex on the Beach star Stephen Bear was the lowest-paid celeb from the summer 2016 series, but played the game perfectly to provoke outrage, score votes, and snatch the win. He’d be sure to shake up the house if he came back in for another series.

Nikki Grahame

Channel 5

The All Stars theme all but guarantees an appearance from Nikki Grahame. The infamous star from the original series has popped up regularly over the years – and has also been a hit on international Big Brother series.

According to The Sun, glamour model Nicola McLean is already confirmed to enter the house. She starred on the show in 2012, and was involved in a huge argument with Denise Welch which led to her leaving the series.

Bianca Gascoine

Dave Benett

The former step-daughter of Paul Gascoigne has never appeared on CBB before, but did once have a stint presenting Big Brother’s Big Mouth in 2008. She also won the original Love Island series back in 2006.

Calum Best

Channel 5

The son of George Best last took part in Celebrity Big Brother in January 2015, when he came third. He also has history with Bianca Gascoine thanks to their time on Love Island together – which could mean added sparks.

Celebrity Big Brother will be returning in January 2017 on Channel 5, with Emma Willis back on presenting duties, and Rylan Clark-Neal hosting sister-show Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side.
