The 2025 series of Celebrity Big Brother will launch in less than a week, and its rumoured lineup continues to grow.
The ITV show will be back on our screens next Monday (April 7), with AJ Odudu and Will Best returning as hosts. Last year, the likes of Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Ekin-Su took part.
That said, with so many names circling the web, former Big Brother contestant and This Morning star Alison Hammond has already revealed she rejected the offer to re-enter the house. However, many other names are tipped to have signed up, and none have denied it!
Hollywood A-lister Mickey Rourke
Oscar-nominated Hollywood icon Mickey Rourke is highly rumoured to have signed up. He has starred in countless hit films, from 9½ Weeks to The Wrestler.
“It’s hard to think of a Big Brother booking as big as Mickey Rourke since the show began,” a source alleged to The Sun.
They continued: “The tales that man has to tell will no doubt be legendary and bosses hope it could replicate the success of Sharon last year, who was very loose-lipped when it came to dishing the dirt on famous faces.
“Mickey is also outspoken, with strong views, and isn’t afraid to share them.”
Celebrity Big Brother 2025 – JoJo Siwa ‘in talks’
From one huge US celebrity to another. Singer and dancer JoJo Siwa is also reportedly in talks to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house next week.
The Karma star, who rose to fame on Dance Moms, has a huge online presence, boasting 45.7 million TikTok followers.
“JoJo is a big name among the highly-coveted younger audience. She brings with her a big US fan base,” a TV insider told The Sun.
“She’s one of those names that regular ITV viewers might not know – but certainly will do by the end of the ITV series.
“Jojo certainly isn’t afraid to speak up and is expected to be one of the more controversial names in the pack. Everyone hopes the deal gets over the line.”
