You Know What...It's A Pretty Good Rumoured Line Up

I know all of them reported will not go in but if its true they have done pretty well for themselves in terms of big characters and bigger names.

Although he's an idiot Dappy is a big personality and quite a big name

In sport Evander Holyfield is a Huge Name in the boxing legends list

Ollie Locke and Sam Faiers are actually 2 Well Liked Reality TV Stars. I know from watching MIC that Ollie is quite witty too.

Luisa is known for being strongly opinionated and was fierce on The Apprentice.

Lee Ryan was the bad boy of blue and would probably have quite a few stories to tell.


In CBB you are never going to get A/B listers as they will have a lot of money and a lot of work coming their way but on paper this looks like a good line up. Better than most of the Channel 5 ones on paper anyway :)

    I think it looks like a very good lineup. Luisa I think will be very good tv. She's very opinionated and will stand up for herself. I worry that she'll be out early. She was actually very good on The Apprentice and in my opinion should have won. She's very confident and I fear that viewers are just going to mistake her confidence for arrogance. Hope she does well though.

    I only recognise one name out of that list: Holyfield

    and I barely know much about him since I'm not a boxing fan.

    dire lineup if true

    I'm feeling nostalgic for last summer. Can't we have just 1 good rumour?

    makes last summer's lot seem like A-listers doesn't it? Even Les Battersby was more famous than these non-entities


    Nigel Farage has been rumoured. At least most people will have heard of him even if they don't like him

    Mr. T would be good too

    Very poor line-up from what we know at present (in regards to star power).

    Those who I was interested to see..seem to be all the ones who have denied it.

    I'm hoping the surprise ones will make up for it.

    Hollyfield - huge name in boxing
    Lee Ryan - from blue, big boyband
    Dappy - Recent chart topping rapper
    Sam Faiers - scripted reality big at the mo
    Ollie Locke - ditto Sam Faiers
    Jim Davidson - Well known comedian

    doesn't sound too bad if you ask me

    I find it pretty uninspiring as I've not been that impressed with what I've seen of them on other reality shows. I can't say either Sam or Ollie made much impact on me the few times I've watched their shows.. Lee and Jim seemed like miserable buggers who took themselves far too seriously on Hells Kitchen....and not in an entertaining way.

    Katy Price is said to be going in too, but we know she has been quite ill recently, so may miss it again.

    It looks pretty bad to me.

    So what if Hollyfield is huge name in boxing? that doesn't mean he'll be interesting or entertaining as a housemate.

    And so what if Lee Ryan is from Blue or Dappy is a recent chart topping rapper?

    That Sam Faiers (who?) and Ollie Locke (who?) are from scripted reality shows is a huge point against having them in CBB.

    Jim Davidson is despicable and picking him as a HM would suggest a desperation for 'controversy' headlines.

    I reckon it'd be a good year this year seems like the personalities of the housemates I've heard of would be interesting to watch.
    Luisa should be good she was quite feisty on The Apprentice.
    Lee Ryan has a nice , funny friendly sensitive side to him that people will get to see if you watch any of his interviews you'll see what he's like.
    Ollie and Sam should be good coming from TOWIE and MIC.
    Jim seems like they'll be a lot of arguments with him clashing with housemates Lee certainly an possibly Ollie.

    It's a terrible line up. I'm sick of these scripted reality show stars turning up every series, it's pretty lazy casting.

    I suppose if IAC and Strictly are struggling to pull in the names CBB haven't got a hope in hell though.

    Nothing can be as bad as the last summers CBB though that was boring this seems like a far more entertaining house.

    Hate boxing, don't like any of the scripted reality shows and not keen on boybands or Dappy, but the one who will make me switch off is Jim Davidson. I can't stand the man and don't want to see him in anything. Seeing as most of the stuff he utters is bigoted s**t, just have to hope he says something on the way in and gets booted off!!

    I don't expect any better than what is on offer and I can deal with that, but Davidson, just no!!!

    What sort of line up did you expect? It looks much better than the last CBB line up.

    Seems like it'll be more entertaining this year an some arguments.
    This could be one of the best cbbs this year.
    The January ones always seem to be good.

    Can't stand Jim Davidson, why must they always put in one hateful character that you have to spend the whole series seething at? I don't even love to hate him, I just don't want him on my TV, ever, he makes me sick.

    Same. I'm preparing for three weeks of being told I don't have a sense of humour and that I must be part of the "PC Brigade" by his supporters, if he does go in.

    I find it strange, that people moan about not knowing the line-up. It will never attract Tom Cruise, Robbie Williams etc.

    Lee Ryan, Evander, Dappy, jim Davidson are big names in CBB terms.
