Celebrity Big Brother 2018 all women line-up revealed including a glamour model, a TV legend and former politician
CELEBRITY Big Brother is returning with the most explosive line-up yet with a cast of very different women entering the house tonight.
The Sun Online can exclusively reveal the seven celebrities who will be heading in for the new series - including glamour girl and reality star Jess Impiazzi, actress Amanda Barrie and Ann Widdecombe.
We can also reveal there will be a female non-celeb entering the house - DC Maggie Oliver, the trailblazing detective who helped the victims of the Rochdale sex grooming scandal.
Then on Friday eight men will be introduced to the show to really spice things up.
The full list of the first CBB housemates also includes Made in Chelsea star Ashley James and transgender TV reporter India Willoughby.
They will be joined by Boris Johnson's sister Rachel Johnson and Keeping Up With The Kardashians' Malika Haqq.
Jess Impiazzi
Glamour model and reality star Jess, 28, will be a sexy addition to the line-up this series.
The Ex On The Beach pin-up isn't shy when it comes to stripping off, and her firey personality means she could be ruffling some feathers in the house.
The Sun Online revealed last week that the saucy model will be going into the house - and a source said: "Jess is best known as a glamour girl, but she has strong views and thinks women should celebrate their bodies."
Ashley James
Best known for starring in Made In Chelsea, Channel 5 bosses are hoping Ashley, 30, will bring drama and spill secrets on her famous friends.
She is also said to have had a fling with Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams, which could make for some interesting chat in the house.
A source told The Sun: "Ashley is a fiery character and a real party girl... She is also single so there is a chance she could find love in the house when the boys enter the show.”
Malika Haqq
Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Malika, 34, has signed a big money deal to bring some US sparkle to the show.
She is known to fans of the show as Khloe Kardashian’s "professional best friend"
Model and actress Malika is the second Kardashian companion to make it on to the Channel 5 show, following Kim's close pal Jonathan Cheban, who entered the house in 2016.
Amanda Barrie
TV legend Amanda, 82, will be the oldest housemate in the first seven and viewers will know her from her glittering career in showbusiness.
After shooting to fame in the Carry On films, she went on to become a regular in Coronation Street as Alma, appearing in the soap from the mid-1980s until her exit in 2001.
She has also starred in shows such as prison drama Bad Girls and The Real Marigold Hotel .
India Willoughby
The Sun Online revealed back in November that journalist India, 51, was in talks to join the show.
The Channel 5 host made history when she transitioned and became the nation's first trans newsreader in 2016 and now she is set to spice up the CBB house with her forthright views.
While working as a TV reporter at ITV Border, India, then known as Jonathan, presented the news in the North East and Cumbria.
Rachel Johnson
Writer and broadcaster Rachel, 52, is the latest member of Boris Johnson's family to sign up for a reality TV show.
The Foreign Secretary's sister follows in the footsteps of his dad Stanley, who recently starred in I'm A Celebrity.
Bo-Jo may be left squirming all over again as Rachel is put through her paces in the house.
A source told The Sun: "Bosses want this year’s show to be quite different. There are lots of intelligent, cultured people going in, all with strong opinions.
“People have been chosen because they might clash — but hopefully there’ll be heated debate and discussion rather than just screaming and storming out. Rachel is a great signing and fits the bill.”
Ann Widdecombe
She's never been known as a wall flower, so we're pretty sure Ann is going to bring some fireworks to house.
After retiring from politics in 2010, the former Conservative MP has thrown herself into TV work.
As well as appearing on Strictly Come Dancing in 2010, she has also appeared in shows such as Songs of Praise, Celebrity Antiques Road Trip and Sugar Free Farm.
Maggie Oliver
This year is all about strong women and the last woman to enter the house is just that.
Maggie Oliver is a former detective who helped expose the Rochdale grooming ring which saw a number of men caged for a string of offences against young girls.
She quit the force claiming hundreds of cases of alleged abuse were mishandled or ignored by GMP.
Actress Lesley Sharp recently portrayed her in the harrowing BBC drama Three Girls.
