Celebrity Big Brother line-up

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu - As we know from Love Island, the Ek-ster is capable of throwing about some dramatics to claw her way to the final
Levi Roots - Reggae Reggae Sauce sauce packs a bit of a kick, but its inventor seems quite mild-mannered. Will that change under pressure?
Fern Britton - The former This Morning star called out Phillip Schofield - don't think she won't do the same to anyone who tangles with her

Marisha Wallace - It's not CBB without the role of 'American who doesn't know what they've let themselves in for' and she's doing brilliantly

This prompted one fan to reply: "We need Sinitta in the house!"
One fan then mused: "He is getting on a bit wonder if he’s genuinely forgotten stuff. I’m a lot younger and I do."
A third added: "He has pressed his selective memory gold button Sinitta … game plans are obviously more important these days!!";
One added: "He’s been very kind about you in fairness to him. Very complimentary," before she conceded: "He has! He has really been himself as well."
