The 2025 series of Celebrity Big Brother is just around the corner – and the rumoured line-up keeps getting better!
The ITV show returns to screens next month. Hosts J Odudu and Will Best will be back at the helm when it kicks off on Monday, April 7, on ITV1.
Last year’s series saw the likes of Sharon Osbourne, Zeze Millz, Louis Walsh, and Colson Smith head inside the famous house. But it was reality star David Potts who was crowned the champ.
And with a new series looming, who are the famous faces tipped to be heading in the iconic house? Here, we’re taking a look at the rumoured 2025 line-up.
Celebrity Big Brother 2025 line-up
With the show’s launch date just over a week away, The Sun has reported that ’90s singer Chesney Hawkes has signed up.
The One And Only hitmaker is planning a music comeback but will allegedly appear on the show before releasing his new album.
“Chesney Hawkes is one of those rare British celebrities who crosses generational divides,” a TV insider told the newspaper.
“Everyone knows The One and Only even if the youngsters might not recognise his name.
They continued: “He’s also had decades in showbiz so CBB bosses hope he’ll be loose-lipped about celebrity encounters over the years, just like Louis Walsh last year.”
Sir Michael Fabricant ‘signs up’ for ‘six figure sum’
From a chart-topping pop star to a controversial former Conservative MP, Sir Michael Fabricant is reportedly also entering the house for an impressive six-figure sum.
“He doesn’t hold back, he’s going to be compulsive viewing, we can’t wait,” a source told the Daily Mail.
“We wanted a top politician but one with enormous personality which would entertain the viewers.
“He recently lost his seat so was available, already the execs are excited that he will be a star of the series.”
This won’t be the first time a politician has appeared on the show as George Galloway and Ann Widdecombe previously signed up.
ED! reached out to ITV for comment, who said: “Any names suggested for Celebrity Big Brother are purely speculation.”
Love Island star for CBB?
Earlier this month, bookies CardPlayer came up with a definitive list of who they think will enter the most famous house in the UK.

“Pernice is odds-on at 10/11 to join the Celebrity Big Brother house when the new series airs. GB News presenter Eamonn Holmes is also a 10/11-shot.
“It’s however drag queen Daniel Curtis who tops the market, who is as short as 1/3 to appear on the series. And both Chris Hughes and Daley Thompson making the top three in the betting at 4/11 and 2/5 respectively.”
