Phillip Schofield and Katie Price are among the stars rumoured for the 2024 reboot of Celebrity Big Brother.
After seven years off-air, ITV confirmed in November that the celebrity spin-off will be returning next year on its flagship channel ITV1.
The relaunch follows the successful revival of the original show, Big Brother, which gained its biggest viewing figures in more than a decade, with millions tuning in.
While details are being kept under wraps, speculation has been mounting over who exactly could be entering the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Over the years, the celebrity version has brought in A-listers from far and wide, including Rylan Clark, Spencer Pratt, Kerry Katona, Shilpa Shetty, Les Dennis and even Michael Barrymore.
Now let’s take a look at the rumoured line-up for Celebrity Big Brother 2024.

Katie Price has teased a return to Celebrity Big Brother, after winning the series back in 2015.
The OnlyFans star, 45, emerged victorious after joining the house as a latecomer on day 10, beating runners-up Katie Hopkins and Calum Best.
The former glamour model sent tongues wagging when, shortly after ITV confirmed the Celebrity Big Brother reboot, she posted a cryptic message on Instagram.
Katie reposted the official announcement on her Stories and added several eye emojis.

It’s……….. Rebekah Vardy. Or at least it could be if ITV producers, who are reportedly desperate for her to sign on the dotted line, get their way.
The Wag, 41, is said to be top of the wish list, with hopes she will open up about Coleen Rooney and the infamous Wagatha Christie case.
A source told The Sun: ‘Bosses know she’ll be perfect fodder for the show and that she won’t hold back on saying what she thinks.’
Rebekah is also no stranger to reality TV, having appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2017 and Dancing On Ice in 2021.

Joey Essex could be swapping Dubai, where he now lives, for the Celebrity Big Brother house if producers get their way.
They are reportedly hoping to cast the reality star, 33, after previous attempts when the show was on Channel 5 fell threw.
A source told The Sun: ‘Joey is hugely popular with the top brass at ITV and they think he would be TV gold on Celeb Big Brother.
‘He’s hilarious, very likeable, and likely to become one of the favourites to win.’

Linda Robson might be the next Loose Women star to step into the Celebrity Big Brother house after Coleen Nolan and Denise Welch.
Take it from the 65-year-old actress herself, who told the Daily Star she ‘would be up for’ an appearance on the reality show.
She said: ‘I would be up for it. I like getting away from the house. I don’t like being stuck in so anything to get me out of the house, any holidays.
‘As I’m getting older, I’m 65 now, I don’t want to say no to anything and try different things now.’
Jennifer Arcuri
