Meet the Celebrity Big Brother 2018 housemates

Charlotte Dawson - daughter of the late comedian Les - is one of the names being linked to this series of CBB. The reality star has previously appeared on E4's Celebs Go Dating and Ex on the Beach, so is no stranger to reality TV.

Presenter, writer and activist Paris Lees is one of the names rumoured for CBB.

The transgender journalist had, according to The Sun, signed up to appear in the next series of the Channel 5 reality show. However, more recent reports seem to suggest that Paris has had a last-minute change of heart and has actually now pulled out from appearing in the upcoming run.

Whatever the truth, it won't be long until all is revealed with the confirmed line-up.

Paris has appeared on Question Time as well as working for Channel 4 and Radio 1 and is currently editor-at-large at Attitude.

Brendan Cole

Sure, he's previously told the Daily Mirror: "I would never say never to anything – except Big Brother." But could that just be to throw us off the scent? Brendan Cole finds himself suddenly at a loose end after losing his job as a pro dancer on Strictly Come Dancing after 14 years on the show and entering the Big Brother house could be the perfect opportunity to put his side of the story across.

Dan Lobb

The former Good Morning Britain presenter recently fronted a programme on Channel 4 called Celebrity Sextortion where he spoke about how he became embroiled in a media scandal when a video of him performing a sex act went viral.

Combined with being a Channel 5 face (he fronts Cowboy Builders for the channel) he ticks all the boxes and seems like a prime candidate for becoming a CBB housemate this summer.
