Half of line up leaked?

FACES of Towie, Gogglebox and Ex on the Beach are rumoured to be heading to the Big Brother house as producers get set to launch the scariest series yet.

According to reports this summer's show will intermingle television celebrities with unknowns as she traditional format gets shaken up.

But those signing up better not be of a nervous disposition as the Channel 5 show is set to scare the living daylights out of them as housemates are attacked by a 'dark force.'

Gogglebox's loved hairdressers Stephen Webb, 44, and Chris Steed, 39 are said to be the first pair of reality TV personalities to make the cut while Sandra Martin and Sandy Channer have declined an opportunity to go into the house.

X-Factor reject Ryan Ruckledge, Ex On The Beach personality Connor Hunter, professional blaggers Lucie, Sophie and Stacey, aka The Selfie Sisters and Catherine Byrne, the model who pretended to be a student to spend £14k loan on a boob job are all said to have signed up.

If The Sun is reporting on this the celebs/civilians split is definitely happening

That Connor guy just tweeted about 'looking forward to summer' with the side-eyes emoji too

[Greg!]

The only ones that could be counted as celebs from that list is Stephen and Chris. I don't think the theme will be "celebrities vs civillians" but they're putting in some semi-known people to boost interest.

[LaLaLand]

I only know the Gogglebox pair. Shame that this means they've quit Gogglebox now though, they were one of my favourites on there!!

[Marsh.]

FUQ OFF

[Samm]

Isn't it just civilians vs reality stars then? hardly what I would call celebs

[Greg!]

Welp what does "professional blagger" mean

[Jason.]

...and down goes any interest I once had for this series

[Jack_]

The only ones that could be counted as celebs from that list is Stephen and Chris. I don't think the theme will be "celebrities vs civillians" but they're putting in some semi-known people to boost interest.

But if they're people who've been on TV before and are fairly known, what else can they market it as? 'Civilians vs those people you may have heard of off of that trashy MTV show'? You can't stick people like those two off Gogglebox in a civilian series and pretend like nothing's up, it has to be themed

Though quite frankly if it is 'civilians vs celebs' I'd much rather they have chosen actual celebrities to do it properly rather than reality fodder :rolleyes:

[karl100589]

I want Ronnie Pickering in there

[Greg!]

You can't stick people like those two off Gogglebox in a civilian series and pretend like nothing's up

Well... yes they could.
And surely if the theme was celebs vs civilians they would have told us by now instead of some vague stuff about an "ominous dark force"

[Jack_]

I want Ronnie Pickering in there

I want none of them in there! This would just continue C5's repugnant infatuation with CBB and I don't care for it, if this actually goes ahead the entire extension and everything will have been for nothing :(

I also have no idea why anyone would prefer this over civilians with a US format which was the other option, like that's a daring idea to give the show some new life, this would be a convoluted mess that's just blurring the lines of the two shows

[Firewire]

oh dear

[Jack_]

Well... yes they could.
And surely if the theme was celebs vs civilians they would have told us by now instead of some vague stuff about an "ominous dark force"

Well no...they couldn't.

You honestly expect people who know them off of Gogglebox who also watch BB to tune in on launch night and just be nonplussed that they're entering the house with a bunch of other people no one's seen before? :joker: no 'wait isn't that them two from Gogglebox!' or anything, just as if it's normal?

[Jack_]

The 'ominous dark force' stuff also spoke about 'housemates not being alone' and being 'watched over' so I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if this was some kind of Celebrity Hijack 2.0 just with reality stars or some ****

[Greg!]

Well no...they couldn't.

Welp obviously people would recognise them from gogglebox. That doesn't necessarily mean the theme is celebs vs civilians though. Many people would have recognised Helen and Zoe in BB15. And also Amy & Sally were on TOWIE. I'm sure people can cope with the fact that it's possible for people to appear on two different tv shows without a theme to make that fact clear.

I doubt they'd get someone from X factor who was kicked out at bootcamp to be a celeb hijacker lmao

You ruined the joke.

The "ominous dark force" is when they exhume David Gest for the launch show.

That's different though, they were one or two housemates in the same series and a lot of housemates these days are recruited (don't even think about it, anyone), but eight of them from TV or established backgrounds? That's a little bit different

Also this may be contentious but I'd argue that people from Gogglebox are more known than any of the others here, you cannot put two people from there in a civilian series just as regular housemates without something else actually going on, whether it's a theme, twist, as guests, whatever. It's just not realistic

[supertv247]

A little part of me is worrying that C5 realised they couldn't sack BBUK just for CBB, so now they're just going to run them together but let the 'Celebs' 'wreck havoc' over the normal house.......

[Marsh.]

If anything giving already well known people/housemates the power to run the regular/new housemates should've been proven for the train wreck it is last year?

And not even because of Helen Wood. Even without her the entire Timebomb idea stank to high heaven and robbed screen time from the actual housemates.

[Samm]

725703692981297153


Reaching a tad

[Greg!]

It's just not realistic that they would make a Celeb vs Civillan series and count "a model who pretended to be a student to spend £14k loan on a boob job" as a celebrity, even though it's channel 5 we're talking about.

[Jack_]

I doubt they'd get someone from X factor who was kicked out at bootcamp to be a celeb hijacker lmao

I said 'some kind of', it doesn't have to follow the same format as Hijack. It could be 'established' reality stars watching over the civilians or something, telling them what to do, coaching them, punishing them, like some ****ing Bedsit twist on a z-list celebrity induced acid trip :umm2:

[supertv247]

It's also pretty much timewarp week on a much bigger scale, and with celebrities rather than 'legends' and i don't see how they'd think it'll work..

[Denver]

It's more Reality TV stars/Tabloid faves then actual celebs as let's face it what real Celeb would agree to 10 weeks in the house ?

[Jack_]

Reaching a tad

How am I reaching lmao? His name is now listed in an article in The Sun (which are typically reliable when it comes to BB)

[Greg!]

It's more Reality TV stars/Tabloid faves then actual celebs as let's face it what real Celeb would agree to 10 weeks in the house ?

That's exactly my point and why I think celeb vs civilians is not happening.

Hopefully these are just celebrities already signed up/rumoured for summer CBB well in advance and the sun is just jumping forward too much since they like to forget about regular BB these days.

I would usually agree but sadly The Sun has a good track record when it comes to Big Brother

Last year before BB16, they said Vicky Patterison would be narrating the housemates going in the house in a secret lair though.

can someone burn the whole house down so this doesn't go ahead

He's a tad more famous than someone who pretended to be a student and was in an article or 2

Who the bloody hell uses a side-eyes emoji in a tweet about summer? The two are entirely unrelated

Plus, HIS NAME IS IN THE DAMN ARTICLE

[Marsh.]

"A tad more famous" or not, neither are fecking celebrities.

Didn't Rylan say there wasn't gonna be celebs in the house anyways

I'm gonna buy a drone and attach a petrol bomb to it.

People use side eye on most things well I've seen it happen on twitter a few times. If he was hinting about big brother then he would have used the one eye emoji.

The point is he's more known than the boob job gal and if she is going in the house i doubt she will treated be as a celeb housemate.

More known or not the point stands.

We've had Faria Alam as a housemate - famous for spreading her legs.

Idec as long as the series is good I'm not really bothered

http://i4.cdnds.net/15/39/natasha-shouting.jpg

The side-eyes emoji is used to symbolise being sneaky/secretive, there is no reason he would use it in a generic tweet about summer (bearing in mind he's already responded to someone else asking if he's doing BB) unless he was trying to hint at something coming up

And because you're the second person to question it, when his name is in the article in the OP of this thread... :umm2:

[Samm]

Idec as long as the series is good I'm not really bothered

same, it's never going back to what the show was back in 2005, just gonna accept it for what it is

[Marsh.]

I'll accept it for what it is and not watch if it's seriously Z-list celeb central instead of unknown civilians.

oop guess I'm going on BB this year

well he is verified and probs have work coming up for the future as I said a one eye emoji would be more of a hint.

I was reading the front page and didn't see jesus.

Jesus is going in? :amazed:

[Greg!]

Exactly, even if these people do go in, they're not exactly famous they're just wannabes like the majority of BB housemates

[Jack_]

I don't even want the show to go back to what it was in 2005, but I certainly don't want C5's nauseating obsession with ****ing z-listers and CBB to ram its proverbial dick our beloved civilian version which has already been trashed beyond belief over the last few years

I never really cared about the embarrassing 'twists' they've pulled off over the last two series, but celebrities/people with backgrounds in TV? Stay the **** away

[LukeB]

Jesus is going in? :amazed:

Jesus to magically make someone pregnant?

Don't you think you should read an article before you comment on it first?

Jesus to make his long awaited rihturn for a special celeb hijack task?

okay yeah maybe not

[LukeB]

Don't you think you should read an article before you comment on it first?

I did read the article actually but a tweet with a side eye and summer is not even an hint hence the confusion. So yeah no need to bloody shout for no reason.

[Greg!]

he's shrek

Wait mess I got confused I thought people were talking about BB13 Conor for some reason

[Jack_]

I did read the article actually but a tweet with a side eye and summer is not even an hint hence the confusion. So yeah no need to bloody shout for no reason.

If you read the article, why did you say 'I was reading the front page and didn't see'? You can't have read the article or else you'd have seen his name and not asked the question, the fact his name appears in the article and he tweeted this should be evidence enough he may be going in. It's irritating having people question ME when he's already heavily rumoured :shrug:

[Amy Jade]

Hes not even got a big peen :(

Well you should have been more clear since you said I was the second person to question it so I thought you were on about the tweet where Sam said you were reaching. I was reading the front page means I was reading the article and the comments so.

You got receipts?

[Jake.]

awful news

[Jake.]

However, if this is going ahead (and no doubt would be for a ratings boost), one has to question why it isn't being promoted by 5 themselves? Ratings for BB/the launch shows are at an all time low, so if z-celebs are indeed going in as well, you'd think they'd make people know about it rather than leaving it until the launch?

[Cal.]

Just trash

[Pete.]

We're going to have to wait and see

[Cal.]

The girls aren't famous enough so I'm not bothered about them or the X Factor reject. It's just Conor and the guys from Gogglebox.

[Cal.]

The top 2 will be Conor and Stephen & Chris so TRASH.

[arista]

[Catherine Byrne pretended to be a student to spend £14k loan on a boob job ]

Yes she wants to Justify Her Scam

[reece(:]

Good god this sounds tragic.

[Cal.]

It's kinda just a rehash of last year's twist? Like forget Nikki/Brian/Helen/Aisleyne/Charley/Jasmine/John/James/Dexter were on BB before and were famous for other things and it's basically the same twist.

[Jamesy]

Was it really that much of a success last year for them to replicate it this year? I know ratings improved slightly although it was still a far cry from the ratings for say, BB14.

IF this does happen to be true then the show really is on its last legs. They're scrapping the barrel trying anything to keep it fresh. When all they really need to do is concentrate on a classic series and get the casting right, that's all. I think they need to take a harder look at where they're going wrong with the casting, instead of dragging in silly twists and z-lister's to make the show seem interesting. All these twists to is further drag the show down, rather than improve it.

[Greg!]

I don't really see what the big deal is? The normal series has had "known" people from the media as housemates in the last few series. In fact, even in BB6 Derek was quite well known before he went in. As long as they're treated as normal housemates and don't live in a separate area or something then I don't mind if these people go in, as long as they're entertaining.

[Jamie89]

Truly terrifying

...and down goes any interest I once had for this series

Same. Also if it turns out the twist is just the fact that there will be 'celebrities' then Rylan's whole "it's a brand new game, it's a brand new job for me and Emma" spiel was obviously bull****ing us and I'm a little pissed off about that.

What if they straight up call it what it is and they have a "Z list" house. As the second house I mean.

I'd kind of be ok with that? But are these kind of people the type to take that on the chin..?

Not happy with this celeb malarkey

[SmallMouth27]

Aren't they suppose to be trying to make the show better? Putting celebrities in won't ****ing help. 😣 It will just maker the show shittier than it is. They better learn. 😴

[crazycolaist]

I'm hoping they put all the reality stars into the ordinary big brother. It kinda makes sense, Saves for real talent on the celebrity version, C5 new owners obviously pulling the money out with creating a new house, Viacom are bloody rich trust me.
It goes like this.


You guys call towie gogglebox all that rubbish not celebrities when they go in celebrity big bro
and now Viacom make a twist that makes these "reality star celebs" go into the ordinary version. and all im hearing is bitching. You guys lolol. Hypocrisy at its best.

I'm embarrassed for Channel 5 after reading that. Oh dear.
