The UK’s Celebrity Big Brother has given us some of the best reality TV content ever. If you’ve never watched Gemma Collins’ best moments, or Tiffany Pollard’s “David’s dead” scene, you’re missing out. Entering the CBB house isn’t for the faint of heart. Even beloved reality stars like Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu can have a really rough time.
Following the classic Big Brother format, the celebrity edition follows contestants living together in a house for two-and-a-half weeks. Naturally, this year’s rumored line-up has some very exciting names attached. Here are the rumored cast members set to enter the house on the upcoming Celebrity Big Brother 2025.
Lisa Rinna
Lisa Rinna had a dramatic exit from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Since she left RHOBH behind, Lisa’s career has taken some very interesting directions. She repeatedly insists she’ll never return to Real Housewives. Just recently, she apologized after comparing it to the Titanic. But would she be willing to try her hand at another reality show? After all, she was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars and Celebrity Apprentice.
While her last season of RHOBH wasn’t her best, Lisa gave Bravo fans some incredibly iconic moments. It’s safe to say she’d be very entertaining in the Celebrity Big Brother house. Will we get a repeat of the Amsterdam dinner on CBB? We’ll have to wait to find out.
Rebekah Vardy
Rebekah Vardy is probably most famous for her part in the WAGatha Christie scandal. It was one of the most fascinating high-profile feuds in recent British tabloid history. After Coleen Rooney accused her fellow WAG of selling stories to tabloids, Rebekah sued for libel. Ultimately, Rebekah’s case was dismissed. The trial case set social media ablaze. It was later adapted into movies and a play.
Recently, Rebekah’s rival WAG Coleen Rooney made a splash on I’m A Celeb 2024. Which, interestingly enough, Rebekah recapped for The Sun. Now, she’s reportedly trying her hand at another of the UK’s top competition series.
Tommy Fury
If you’re having deja vu, it’s because Tommy Fury was supposed to be on I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! last year. However, he pulled out at the last minute. Fellow Love Island UK star Maura Higgins stepped in as his last-minute replacement.
According to The Mirror, CBB is one of the “big money offers flying around, as Tommy is hot property.” Tommy was very popular on Love Island, but that’s not the only reason people want him on these UK competition shows. After his high-profile breakup with Molly-Mae Hague, producers are surely hoping he spills some beans on air. Recently, he blamed their split on his issues with alcohol and denied cheating on his former fiance.
CBB might be a family affair for Tommy. Another rumored 2025 cast member is his sister-in-law Paris Fury.
Chris Hughes
Speaking of Love Island UK alums! Chris Hughes rose to fame on the dating show’s third season. His on-again/off-again romance with Olivia Atwood made for some of the show’s best moments. So did his bromance with Kem Cetinay. Chris was so popular, LI UK fans hold out hope he’ll return for Love Island All-Stars.
After Love Island UK, Chris had spin-offs with both Kem and Olivia. Also, he and Kem released a rap song called Little Bit Leave It. He also had a BBC Three documentary special with his brother that raised awareness about testicular cancer. And he has a side career as a sports presenter.
Danny Beard
Danny Beard is the drag name of Daniel Curtis. The performer is probably best known as the winner of Season 4 of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. Before that victory, he also appeared on Britain’s Got Talent in 2016. And he was on a short-lived Celebrity Karaoke Club series.
In addition to his expansive career on UK competition series, Danny Beard played a fictional version of himself on the soap Hollyoaks. His reality TV fame also led to a presenting career on Radio 1. Viewers have to wait and see if he’ll add Celebrity Big Brother to his reality TV resume in 2025. His casting was reported by The Sun back in January.
Ella Morgan
Ella Morgan rose to fame on Married At First Sight. She broke barriers as the series’ first transgender bride. The 29-year-old later appeared on Celebs Go Dating. Back in November 2024, sources told The Sun, “Ella Morgan has had a meeting with ITV producers about appearing in the next series of Celebrity Big Brother.”
“It’s just early talks at this stage but Ella is really up for it and bosses were impressed by her,” the source said. They added, “She knows how to bring drama, as her stints on MAFS and Celebs Go Dating proved, and she is also a great representative of the LGBTQ+ community, so watch this space.”
Paul Chuckle
Paul Chuckle was the first name rumored for the 2025 edition of Celebrity Big Brother. The Sun already reported his casting back in August of last year. Reportedly, he was supposed to appear in the previous CBB series. But producers chose to hold off after casting Louis Walsh and Gary Goldsmith. Apparently, they were worried the age demographics were already too skewed.
In the UK, Paul was part of the Chuckle Brothers, who had a popular children’s entertainment series in the 90s. If the rumors are true, his casting would surely bring back nostalgia for lots of Celebrity Big Brother viewers.
