Big Brother may have fallen out of favour, with more all-singing, all-dancing reality TV taking centre stage but I for one will be tuning in on Thursday, at least for as long as it takes to discover which rumoured celebrity contestants will be taking up residence in the house. Channel 5 has so far managed to keep a reasonably tight lid on which stars will be humiliating themselves for our entertainment, and as ever, rumours are circulating wildly. Top of the "guess list" at the moment are as follows:
Frankie Cocozza: Is the disgraced reality TV star coming back for more punishment?
Wagner: another crooner who just can't stay away from the camera is also on the list.
Shaun Williamson: aka Barry from Eastenders. Apparently very keen to get the gig.
Wiley: the British rapper has been mentioned as a possible housemate.
Ruby Wax: The American comic has been (unusually) silent recently. Could this be her return?
Natasha Giggs: Famous for her affair with brother-in-law Ryan Giggs. *groan*. BB would love her.
Nicola Mclean: fellow WAG and 'star' of the show WAGS Boutique is also rumoured.
Kirk Norcross. The TOWIE star is apparently keen to swap structured reality for 'proper' reality, BB style. We can hardly wait!
Denise Welch of Loose Women fame is also in the running, and will no doubt go all-out to impress...
Michael Masden who starred in Reservoir Dogs and Free Willy is said to be a safe bet.
Andrew Stone: Dance teacher at Pineapple Studios and star of the Sky 1 series about the school is looking to make it to the Big Brother House.
Kristina and Karissa Shannon are a pair of playboy 'stunners' who also happen to be twins, so we're guessing they're a shoo-in.
