Three housemates are returning to the Celebrity Big Brother house on Wednesday to take part in a task.

John Barnes, India Willoughby and Ginuwine all re-entered the famous Elstree house in scenes that will air on Thursday’s episode.

Tuesday night’s semi-final saw the beginning of a two-day task celebrating women, with each female housemate giving a short speech on what it means to be female.

Amanda Barrie, Malika Haqq and Ashley James all left the house after the second triple eviction of the series left them short of the final.

That means, of course, James – who said in her exit interview how excited she was to spend time with Ginuwine – will be without her blossoming romance for a few more days.

But the task’s surprise arrivals will see Willoughby come face-to-face with Shane Janek and Ann Widdecombe again.

Willoughby, the first transgender housemate in the show’s history, was the first celebrity to be evicted and has been vocal about her time in the house.

During her short stay in the house, the newsreader was branded a “hypocrite” by viewers after she expressed a fear of drag queens when seeing Janek perform as Courtney Act.

Former footballer Barnes was booted out through a backdoor eviction on Day 20 of the series, his time in the house prompting his family to release a statement against “homophobia” claims.

​Ginuwine left the show two days after having made quite an impression on one housemate in particular.

Celebrity Big Brother continues weekdays at 9pm on Channel 5.
