Celebrity Big Brother returns
Last year's winner
WITH the festivities barely over, the new year's first dose of reality TV is set to hit our screens with the return of Celebrity Big Brother and Manchester's very own superstar of the streets, Bez, will be hoping to win the nation's heart .
As usual producers are determined to keep the names of contestants secret until the show airs on January 6th, but some of the contestants rumoured to be taking part are Caprice, Brigitte Nielsen, Craig Charles, Antoine De Caunes, Germaine Greer and Bez.
Ex-Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Bosnich has been lined up to replace Frank McAvennie who was apparently dropped after discussing his likely appearance with the press, and even ex-BBC Director General Greg Dyke has been reported to be making an appearance.
Model Victoria Silvsted has reportedly dropped out due to arguments over what she can take into the house with her.
Other celebrities rumoured to be involved with Celebrity Big Brother 3 include Kerry McFadden, Jo Brand and Jason Orange, who will be hoping to emulate fellow ex-Take That member Mark Owen by winning the competition.
