Im glad it a real male celeb and not the idiots rumoured

Jonny is coming obviously....

He's a terrible pundit even by TV standard so it looks like he's found his limit in that profession.:laugh:

Don't know her!

United/Liverpool banter aside it's a good signing.

A Black British Icon tbh.

Don't know him. But I don't know any of the women, so...

His wiki page describes him as a 'Perennial candidate'. He needs to get the message that no one wants him. :laugh:

Almost forgot he did Strictly. Went out early in that too.

He was a great player for Liverpool back in the late 80s. Him and Beardsley.

Wtf is wrong with people I wasn’t even born in his time nor do I even follow football but holy **** this is an amazing name, without a doubt one of the biggest names CBB has ever signed so people that don’t know ha can ****. He’s not even just big in the sporting world he’s had a UK no.1 as a rapper.

Was just looking up his football credentials, surprised that only 16 men have played more times for England than him.

Perched for his rap career revival and him appearing on Rhianna's next single

Tried to take this post seriously then I got to this bit.

He will be one of the biggest stars in there even when all the men are in and I know for a fact he's a lovely polite man but for him to do this seems strange decision by him and the producers

Big name!

King of rap :love:

Educate yourselves @ the proles going "who?". Bloody owls, the lot of you!

Someone should ask him if he enjoyed managing Celtic :hehe:

Is Friday the glamour model?

Love John Barnes !!! :dance:

good signing

A 45 minute documentary of JB for anybody who want's to watch it.

He was on 71 degrees North, a reality show on ITV, he was pretty decent in it.

Perched! Really liking him from what I've seen/read

Seems so nice. Hope we get more males that have actual careers and aren't all reality twats

I think he's a proper sweetie and I'm really looking forward to seeing him go in.

Do we know how many males are going in on Friday?

proper nice man.

I really like John Barnes, seems like a great guy, is this a definite? :love:

Yes, confirmed on Bots.

ah great

Boyzones Shane Lynch is apparently going in reported by the mirror

My hero in the 80s

We all know enough about him..
.boring, will sit in corner saying nothing.....yawn.

it really depends on the other house mates. If they are going to be a reasonable bunch this time, rather than the usual trash, then JB could be a great house mate
