I know the shirley jones interview was posted a couple days ago but i cba reading it all then so i just read it in brief and something which caught my eye was

Has it been easier to get celebrities involved this year because it’s the final year of the show?

Yes. A lot of people have turned out to be interested this year, some of whom have really surprised us. They’ve said that as it’s the last one, they’re interested. That’s really nice, because it means we’ve got a wider pool of celebrities to choose from.

any one want to hazard a guess at the people who surprised them??

maybe robbie williams hes a mahoosive fan of the show

I think if Robbie still hadn't released any material then we'd see him on CBB, but he's back on top once again now so rule him out unless for a short visit/guest?

I'm going to say Kerry Katona, she most probably pleaded with them to let her on because she's absolutely broke.

I can't think of who else would willingly want to go on it though tbh.

OH actually - Lil Kim!

She's a BIG name if you think about it, one of America's biggest selling female hip-hop stars (behind Missy Elliot), Notorious B.I.G's ex-wife etc etc.

She wanted to do it previously (the Jade/Shilpa year) but didn't and later went to jail, she's been on Dancing With The Stars in the States so... it'd add a little something spicy I guess!

It's true! haha. She was inside for 10 months for lieing about her friend's involvement in a shooting or something.

For CBB, she demanded $500, 000 with paid for first-class flights and hotel accommodation, her personal stylist to be WITH HER at all times in the house and access to hair/make-up people 24/7. BB upped the offer to £400, 000 and she declined so instead we got... Cleo Rocos :/.
