What the expert says..
12 celebrities will enter as housemates, with Sharon Osbourne expected to enter for just a week
With ITV not announcing the Celebrity Big Brother line-up, we're left with leaked reports to see what the suggested 12-person list is.
We've got big names featuring in the leaked list such as former X-Factor judge Louis Walsh to some relative unknowns like Gary Goldsmith, who is famous for being Kate Middleton's uncle.
The Sun have also reported that Sharon Osbourne will be a 13th celebrity to enter, but her massive fee was too expensive for ITV to keep her in for a long stint.

- Gary Goldsmith, Kate Middleton’s uncle

Celebrity Big Brother returns to UK TV after 6 years away from screens
After a six-year hiatus, Celebrity Big Brother makes a comeback to television screens this evening, with the last instalment airing in 2018 on Channel 5.
During that series, actor Ryan Thomas emerged as the victor but the season was marred by controversy between Thomas and Roxanne Pallett.
She had accused Thomas of physical abuse, a claim that was disproven by footage aired to the British public and the incident, dubbed "punchgate" by the media, prompted over 25,000 complaints to Ofcom.
