As the show progresses, men will be slowly introduced – starting with Jonny.
The starting line up is yet to be confirmed, but rumoured stars include India Willoughby, Louise Thompson, Baroness Michelle Mone, Laura Simpson and Sinitta.
The Sun Online‘s TV insider claimed that the show’s bosses are hopeful that Jonny’s loverat antics will spice up the CBB house.
“Jonny is going to be a big hit on the show,” the source said. “Viewers really enjoyed watching him on Love Island this summer – and clearly there’s still more to see from Jonny.
“His split from Stephanie [Pratt] was a major factor in Channel 5 booking him for the new series. He is guaranteed to bring some drama to the house and romance one of the female contestants.”
Jonny and Stephanie – who was a CBB housemate herself, back in 2014 – split recently, after Stephanie accused him of having a secret double life.
The for The Hills star took to twitter with a rant against her ex, saying “I can’t tell if I’m numb or in absolute shock,” and accusing Jonny of being a serial cheater.
The accusations are just part of the Love Island star’s badboy reputation – his appearance on the reality dating show was marked by accusations that he showed signs of controlling and possessive behaviour towards the women he dated.
