Seems they may be bringing back the likes of Bear, Shilpa, Katie Price, Pete Burns (yay!) and possibly Perez...

No way would Shilpa shetty go back in after her treatment

I'll believe it when I see it.

"We got low ratings and a winner that really divided opinion and courted more negativity than positivity so to boost our ailing figures we'll have him back in there next series! That'll really bring viewers back in their droves! Hey, it worked for BB16, right!?"

^That's how I imagine a meeting at BB Towers.

The ratings were up and the general public adored Bear so of course they'll have him back!

Just made a thread about this, I didn't realise their was already one. Apologies.

Bear was always going to come back, he will probably make more than one return. Like it or not he is now a BB legend. Also MTV now own Channel 5 so Bear will always be near the top of the list for series like this.

Why do I get the felling Bears ex Lillie will be a "new star"

I love Shilpa but she'd be an absolute idiot to go back in there. Especially given the direction its gone.

The Daily Star reckon that Lee Ryan, Speidi and Paddy Doherty may also return

Seriously, could they afford the insurance if they had the above all together (or, to be honest any two of them) in one house?.

Bear vs Katie Hopkins...... Oh dear

nice try. Of course the public didn't adore him. If they had, he would have won by a much larger margin.

Bear vs Perez . As much as I loathed Petez, I think he has some intelligence.

What's the matter, can't they find any new celebrities that want to take part?

I wouldn't be surprised. Any real celebrity with an ounce of credibility wouldn't want to be associated with this show anymore.

HMs don't always do so well second time around so here's hoping for Bear's downfall

I've always loved the idea of a super star version but the possibility of Bear going on has put me off it as I just couldn't handle watching him baiting all my favourites and getting away with it.

According to the article, the ratings were low.

I don't believe he would have won if it had been a vote to evict.

Maybe they'll ship in Helen Wood for good measure...

No probs!

Shilpa won't do it after the way she was treated last time. Do they want another international incident with Bear in the house? Unlikely!

BB is not all about throwing together all the most controversial and vile people from the shows past either.

They may has well just throw Katie Price in again in the last week, guaranteed to win the show with her army of fans too!

So no celebrities so far.

That is so wrong. His win does not mean he is popular with the general public. Have you not grasped the concept of multiple voting and split voting.

....... How about Jade Goody returning.

That's going to be their big problem. So who, apart from those already in TOWIE, EOTB or GS might agree?

Kerry Katona
Blake Lively
Antony Worrall-Thompson
Gillian McKeith
Jodie Harsh
Jodie Marsh

Anyone think of any other ex z listers?

It would be more interesting if they went right back to the first series and had Craig or Nick. Then other series could be included from the early years, or would that be too respectful to the actual fans of the show!
