"Landing Sharon is a huge coup for the series, especially as she has such a strong on-screen partnership with Louis."
Chloe Burrows
According to The Sun, the 28-year-old is a target for ITV producers ahead of the return of the series.
"Everyone is desperate to see Chloe Burrows head into the Love Island: All Stars villa and shake things up with her ex, Toby Aromolaran," an insider is said to have told the publication.
"But she’s actually been in talks to star in another big ITV reality show instead."
The news outlet alleges that the former islander has been in talks with producers at the broadcasters, who believe she'd 'fit the bill perfectly'.
Describing her as 'sassy, outspoken and she's single', the insider went on: "She could potentially enjoy a romance in the house too. Nothing has been signed yet, but the talks have been promising and Chloe is keen.
"As grateful as she is to Love Island, she feels like doing All Stars would be like going back over old ground, whereas Celebrity Big Brother is a new venture and would introduce her to a wider audience."
Colson Smith
The Coronation Street star has reportedly been in discussions with ITV bosses about joining this year's CBB lineup.
"Big Brother producers have been in talks with Colson for months and it looks like a done deal," a source said.
"They're thrilled he's keen to enter the nation's most famous house because he's a big name already loved by millions of viewers and they were hellbent on securing someone from Corrie as it's great cross-promotion for ITV."
The source added: "Colson's character Craig is a huge favourite with soap fans and he's just as likeable and down to earth in real life so don't be surprised if he ends up winning the whole thing. He's got all the ingredients of a Celeb BB champion."
Fern Britton
Insiders apparently told The Sun that the former This Morning presenter had signed a deal to appear on the upcoming series.
A source explained: "She wants to show the public a different side to her — unscripted and unapologetic.
"She has a lot of stories to tell and she won’t hold back when it comes to her relationships with people like Phil.
"They don’t speak anymore so there are no bridges to burn as far as she is concerned."
Lauren Simon
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star was revealed to The Sun as one of the show signings last month and will be entering the BB house next Monday.
Back in 2019, it was announced that Lauren had 'some personal stuff going on', according to co-star Dawn Ward.
"Lauren's an amazing person, I am missing her to bits. I speak to her daily but she has other commitments at the minute that she needs to concentrate on." she said.
"She will be sadly missed, but I am sure we haven't seen the last of Lauren."
Zeze Millz
YouTuber, Zeze Millz is, who presents The Zeze Millz Show spends her time interviewing major personalities on her channel.
The social media star regularly shares updates of her presenting duties to her 180k followers on Instagram.
She's also made an appearance on Good Morning Britain and can now add Celebrity Big Brother to her repertoire.
Gary Goldsmith
Gary Goldsmith, better known as Kate Middleton's uncle, is up next on the rumoured rundown with a source telling The Sun: "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.
"He’s made it clear he will talk about everything and anything, and he’s pretty outspoken when it comes to Harry and Meghan.
"Gary also holds a deep affection for Kate and Wills and will be able to give a fascinating insight into what it’s really like being related to the future King and Queen.
"He could be TV gold and ITV knows it. The deal he signed is for good money."
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu
The iconic Love Island 2022 victor has also been rumoured to have signed up to the show shortly after calling it quits with her ex-boyfriend, Davide Sanclimenti after recently appearing on the US version of The Traitors.
Levi Roots
The beloved Dragons' Den businessman and Reggae Reggae Sauce founder has reportedly been signed up to the series too with a source telling The Mirror: "Levi will be great for the Celebrity Big Brother house. He's got a few exciting projects coming up and he's such a fun character."
They added: "He's self-made and is an inspiration to a new generation."
Nikita Kuzmin
The Ukrainian Strictly Come Dancing dancer is the next rumoured celeb to join the list with many fans, I'm sure, buzzing to see what antics he gets up to in the CBB house.
Marisha Wallace
The 38-year-old American actor, best known for her work in musical theatre, will no doubt delight viewers at the CBB house this season.
The award-winning theatre star has previously starred in the likes of Something Rotten, Hairspray and Oklahoma!.
David Potts
The Ibiza Weekender rep David is definitely not a stranger to reality TV after appearing on a whole bunch of programmes which similarly have the word 'celebrity' in them.
Such shows include; Celebs Go Dating, Celebs on the Farm, Celebrity Karaoke Club and Celebrity Ghost Trip and it seems like Celebrity Big Brother is now next on the list.
Bradley Riches
The 24-year-old Heartstopper actor could definitely help bring some more of Gen Z to the iconic show - especially since the last series of CBB was released yonks back in 2018.
Celebrity Big Brother will be premiering on ITV1 and ITVX next Monday (4 March).
