Celebrity Big Brother has been tipped to make an epic return to TV screens – following the revival’s success.
The spin-off series aired from 2001 to 2018 and followed the regular Big Brother UK series which premiered in 2001. And it’s fair to say the famous crib has been a home away from home to several mega celebs.
The likes of Les Dennis, Ulrika Jonsson, Gemma Collins and Katie Price have all been on the show. What’s more, over the years, Celebrity Big Brother has brought us some truly iconic moments too that will go down in TV history.

And now, with the original show’s revival taking place last weekend, it’s been claimed the celeb version could be making a comeback too. And the supposed line-up would be TV gold.
In an exclusive prediction provided by OLBG, it’s claimed the show could air this year, with odds of 6/4. While the odds of Celebrity Big Brother airing next year is 7/4.
As for what celebs could be heading into the house, the bookies reckon Carol Vorderman could sign up, with odds of 8/1. The Countdown legend is no stranger to a reality show, having appeared in I’m A Celebrity… South Africa this year.
The odds put Carol ahead of Coronation Street legend Chris Gascoyne, who plays Peter Barlow on the ITV soap. The odds of him appearing on Celebrity Big Brother is 10/1.
It would make for great timing, as Chris recently confirmed he was taking a break from Corrie after 23 years. According to the actor, he wanted to take time out “in order to explore other roles.”
Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague and TV favourite Stacey Solomon are up next with odds of 12/1 and 16/1 respectively. Good Morning Britain star Andi Peters has odds of 16/1, while James Corden is at 50/1.
The Gavin and Stacey legend recently left the US to move back to the UK, following his chat show in the States ending.
The bookies have also chalked Denise Van Outen up at 50/1. Meanwhile former prime minister Boris Johnson has odds of 100/1 joining the Celebrity Big Brother cast.
The OG Big Brother returned to screens for the first time in five years at the weekend. Fronted by AJ Odudu and Will Best, the programme welcomed a brand new batch of housemates moving into the famous house.
