The OFFICIAL line-up for Celebrity Big Brother All Stars and New Stars is finally here, and it’s very interesting.
After months of rumours and speculation, the confirmed line-up has been revealed ahead of the series launch tonight – and it includes PLENTY of controversial faces, both old and new.
According to The Sun, Nicola McLean, who first appeared on CBB in 2012, has been confirmed in the line-up.
“Nicola is going back into the CBB house. She’s had the worst two years of her life but now she’s feeling strong and she is desperate to let her hair down and have some fun in there…,” said a source.

Also confirmed is American model Austin Armacost, who starred on the show in 2015, model Jasmine Waltz, who appeared on the show in 2014, and Loose Women panellist Coleen Nolan, who’s returning to the CBB house after her appearance in 2012.
One of the most controversial additions to the line-up is Heidi and Spencer Pratt, aka Speidi, who ruffled plenty of feathers on the show back in 2013, and famously clashed with BOTS host Rylan Clark-Neal when he first starred as a housemate.
“Spencer and Heidi are very competitive and they got so close to winning last time that they’re hell bent on coming out on top this time around.
“They’ve never quite lived down being beaten by Rylan. Last time they were not sure what to expect, but they’ve become big fans of the show since their stint in the House,” an insider told the Daily Star.

Calum Best, who appeared on the show in 2015, is also set to return to the CBB house, as well as controversial dancer James Jordan, best known for his feisty nature on the show back in 2014.
The former Strictly star has reportedly signed a six-figure deal in order to appear on the show, just one month after his wife Ola Jordan appeared on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.
As for the New Stars, the line-up includes plenty of fresh faces that are willing to bring the drama – including Kim Kardashian’s famous ex, and sex tape partner, Ray J.
The rapper rose to fame in 2007 when a sex tape he made with then-girlfriend Kim Kardashian in 2003 was leaked.

While Ray J will definitely not bump into Kim Kardashian in the house, he will come face-to-face with someone from his past – American singer Stacy Francis.
The X Factor USA star made headlines in 2012 when it was reported that she had an argument with Whitney Houston just hours before she died – after Stacy started talking to Whitney’s rumoured lover Ray J.
Also entering the house is DJ Brandon Block, Game of Thrones star James Cosmo, and footballer Jamie O’Hara, who’s ex-wife is Danielle Lloyd – who recently fell out with All Star housemate Nicola McLean.
In an interesting twist, Calum Best’s mum Angie is also set to join him in the house.

However, the most exciting part of this line-up is that Bianca Gascoigne will also be entering the house, which is sure to put a smile on Calum Best’s face.
The pair are best known for their fiery love affair on Love Island back in 2006, so their reunion is sure to make sparks fly.
According to The Sun, two more housemates will enter the CBB house on Friday – which could be Irish stars Jedward, if rumours turn out to be true.
Watch Celebrity Big Brother, tonight at 9pm on 3e.
