And very often these rumours don't come from nowhere!
So we know at this stage that Celebrity Big Brother is coming back. Following the success of the Channel 4 reality show over at its new home on ITV, it wasn't long before the announcement came that its celebrity counterpart would be making a return as well.
Celebrity Big Brother hasn't been on our screens since 2018, when Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas was crowned the winner and the late Kirstie Alley finished second.
We still don't have a start date for the series, but as we're expecting an announcement soon, the streets are rife with rumours on who's set to take part!
🚨 Levi Roots and Chloe Burrows are the latest two names who have reportedly signed up for the new series of Celebrity Big Brother! 👀

Here's the list of the rumoured line-up:
- Levi Roots (Successful businessman who first appeared on Dragon's Den)
- Chloe Burrows (Love Island Series 7 contestant)
- Rebekah Vardy (Media personality and one half of the iconic Wagatha Christie case)
- Joey Essex (The Only Way Is Essex star)
- Gyles Brandreth (Broadcaster and former MP)
- James Haskell (Rugby player)
- Gary Goldsmith (Kate Middleton's 'black sheep' uncle)
Gary Goldsmith could be a very valuable edition to the line-up, as his connection to the royal family could be provide some juicy insights.
Royal experts are allegedly concerned about the Duchess of Cambridge's uncle 'embarrassing' the royal family by signing up for the show and sharing his controversial views.
The business man is known for being a bit outspoken, and shared his opinions on Harry and Meghan as a couple following the release of Harry's autobiography 'Spare'.
That could be a bit of the concern for the Royal Family's PR team alright!
But ITV have not confirmed any of these rumoured contestants yet and right now every thing is still speculation. And while we don't have an official start date yet, there were provisional expectations that it's set to air in March 2024.
Stay tuned!
