12 Housemates, ranging from Youtube Vlogger to German Popstar, they all fall into various gradients of celebrity, but a house full of these folks would be rather good indeed. Here's the run-down from left to right.

Age: 23
You may know them for: Being a very popular Youtube Vlogger, who got to number 4 in last year's Christmas UK Singles Chart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOW2eEz9cYk)
Why they count as celebrity: Many popular Youtubers are gaining celebrity status, and with over half a million subscribers, Alex Day seems like a worthy candidate

Why they count as celebrity: He's a big star of stage and screen, presenting countless award ceremonies and even having a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The real clincher is he wants to appear on Celeb Big Brother, meaning we wouldn't be paying an extremely high amount for a rather famous face.
