    Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu – We know from Love Island, the Ek-ster is not above throwing about some dramatics to claw her way to the final.
    Levi Roots – Reggae Reggae Sauce sauce packs a bit of a kick, but its inventor seems quite mild-mannered. Will that change under pressure?
    Fern Britton – the former This Morning star called out Phillip Schofield – don’t think she won’t do the same to anyone who tangles with her.
    Colson Smith – You’ll probably know him best as Corrie’s Craig Tinker – but prepare to find out he’s not much like his character.
    David Potts – Ibiza Weekender’s breakout star is sure to bring a bit of the party isle to the house… but will people appreciate it?
    Gary Goldsmith – Kate Middleton’s uncle is a big signing for ITV, but very much an unknown quantity among viewers.
    Marisha Wallace – top Broadway star may fill the brief of ‘American who doesn’t know what they’ve let themselves in for’.
    Nikita Kuzmin – the Strictly pro is coming onto the show fresh off the show’s tour. Poor lad probably just wants a rest.
    Bradley Riches – the actor played sweet James McEwan in Netflix hit Heartstopper. We’ll soon find out what he’s really like.
    Zeze Mills – the social media star has a “no holds barred interview style” – which is just what we need in there.
    Lauren Simon – she’s a Real Housewives of Cheshire star and you don’t get on that show by being shy and retiring.

    Trish was involved in a huge scandal after her historic racist and homophobic tweets resurfaced following her exit from the house.
    During her time on the long-running social experiment, she struck up a close bond with Scunthorpe lawyer Jordan.
    But it seems the Big Brother pair could be no longer on speaking terms as the winner of the series has snubbed his former housemate on social media.
    Jordan, 26, never followed the full-time mum when he left the house and won the rebooted ITV2 show.

    Meanwhile Trish has recently unfollowed her fellow co-star on social media after the controversy surrounding her own online activities.
    She was a favourite amongst fans until they discovered her shocking Twitter posts from 2012.
    The 33-year-old previously deleted her X account, formerly known as Twitter, before setting up a new page so she could issue a statement to her fans.
    She wrote: “I’m aware that some very concerning old tweets of mine have resurfaced and I would like to sincerely apologise for the harmful stereotypes I perpetuated and the pain I have cause to the marginalised communities and groups of people mentioned.
    Most read in Reality
    “There are no excuses for the ignorance that I showed and I am deeply disappointed, embarrassed and ashamed that I once made such comments.
    “I have come a very long way since by educating myself and being educated by others on the impact and harm these views cause.
    “It is part of the reason why I am so passionate about standing up for others and holding myself to a high standard of responsibility and accountability for my actions.
    “I appreciate the support you’ve all given me on the show and I understand you feel disappointed.
    “I know apologies can seem convenient in these circumstances but I mean it from the bottom of my heart; I am truly sorry.
    “I hope it is possible for you to offer me grace and believe that people can change.
    “I am committed to being the person I am now, the person you have known me as – someone who speaks up, stands for what they believe in and is always open to growth and accountability. Love Trish.”
    Trish is being supported in line with Big Brother’s welfare protocols.
