Celebrity Big Brother 2025 housemates

The official line-up has now been revealed and the housemates are all getting to know one another in the famous Celebrity Big Brother house.

Let's meet this year's celebrities...

Patsy Palmer

Best known for playing iconic EastEnders character Bianca Jackson since 1993, DJ and TV star Patsy has joined the Big Brother line-up this year. Patsy has also appeared on Dancing On Ice and Strictly.

She says: "I’m really looking forward to walking through the iconic doors and meeting a group of brand-new people. It’s a fascinating experience and that’s one aspect that excites me. I’m also looking forward to having a break from technology. We all spend so much time on our phones so having no access to that will be incredibly refreshing."

Trisha Goddard

Trisha is best known for her self-titled chat show on ITV before its move to Channel 5, as well as its US version. She now hosts on Talk and occasionally appears on Good Morning Britain.

Speaking of what she will miss while she is in the house, Trisha said: "My darling husband, talking to my kids, music and walking in the woods. 

"I hope I'm an easy housemate to get on with. My strengths are my sense of humor and not sweating the small stuff."

Jack P Shepherd

Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd - who is best known for his role as Weatherfield's David Platt is following in the footsteps of his good friend and Corrie co-star Colson Smith, who starred in the 2024 series.

Speaking of the show, he said he will be the one making the tea! "I have a strength for cleaning - I like to clean. I’ll make cups of tea. I'll wash up. I'm not the best cook but I can cook. And I'm very quiet if I need to be. 

"I feel like you still get everything like chocolate and sweets and things, but I'll probably miss my little dog - which is a long-haired Chihuahua."

Mickey Rourke

Hollywood superstar Mickey Rourke is a big signing for this year's line-up.

It seems Mickey already has a gameplan for the show: "I talked to a friend of mine who was on the show – Chuck Liddell – and he told me he got voted out real early. So that’ll probably happen to me. I have no expectations. I love coming over here. I haven’t been here in 8 years. Most of my good friends aren’t here anymore but I love British people and British culture so I'll enjoy talking to them [the Housemates] but I have no expectations of them."

Daley Thompson

Double Olympic gold winner Daley Thompson has joined Big Brother. He says: "I think I will get on really well with all the other housemates but I think the thing I will find annoying is loud snoring and people staying up late and keeping me awake!"

Chris Hughes

2017 Love Island star Chris Hughes now works as a TV sports correspondent.

Speaking of the show, he said: "I'd like to think I'd be an easy housemate to get on with everyone. When I meet people for the first time people say ‘God, you're so easy to talk to’ and I think people think that because you're in the public eye you’d be robotic. But I'll talk to anyone, so I think that's like a good trait to have. So I should hopefully get on with everyone."

Danny Beard

RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard is also part of this year's lineup. Danny, who is Daniel Curtis away from the stage, is no stranger to Celebrity Big Brother fans, having appeared on the spin-off show Late and Live last year.

He said: "I will miss Fanny the most. Fanny’s my dog BTW, she is my world! I'm going to miss pickled onion Monster Munch, sugar free Ribena. I'm going to miss my boyfriend massively; my friends - I have the best group of friends. I speak to them and my family every day. I'm a very, very sociable person so that's going to be the hardest thing." 

Donna Preston

Comedian Donna is said to be next on the line-up list. She is best known for working with the channel on the hit comedy panel show Hey! Tracey! alongside Joel Dommett.

Donna is looking forward to a break from technology: "I think I'm most looking forward to being away from my phone. I think we've forgotten about what it’s like to be human beings and to be present in the space. I love nothing more than sitting in my conservatory and looking out at my garden, without my phone. And I'm looking forward to actually having conversations with people and listening to stories - because there'll be some fascinating people in there. As an actor I just love people watching."

Donna definitely knows what she is letting herself in for as she is already a huge fan of the show and appeared on Late and Live last year.

JoJo Siwa

American singer JoJo Siwa rose to fame on the reality TV show Dance Moms. The singer then went on to find success in the US pop charts and is now hoping to make it big in the UK.

She said: "I’d say my strengths are making people laugh and smile and have a good time - that's my forte. I think I’ll be easy to get along with - I'm a fairly easy person to get along with. At the end of the day, we're all human. And I think if you're a human that's open to conversation that's a great thing. And if you're human that's not open to conversation that’s all good - I'll go converse with somebody nicer."

Chesney Hawkes

90's pop fans are in for a treat as Chesney Hawkes has entered the house.

He said: "I'm 53 and I've spent 53 years with myself, so I think I know myself pretty well. But I reckon I'm going to learn stuff about myself. If you can reach your mid 50s and there's potential to do that, then that's really exciting. And I think I'll learn some stuff about other celebrities that I didn't know as well - so that's interesting. Oh and Tuesday night is the night we put the bins out so I'm looking forward to not doing that. 

Angellica Bell

TV presenter Angellica is looking forward to her CBB experience. She said: "Listen, drama isn't my thing but I've not been locked up before! I think my positivity is a strength - the glass is always half full. That's one of my mantras. I'm good at listening to people, too. It's easy to judge people, but until you know their story, you can't make informed decisions about them. I’m also organised and tidy. I don't like mess. I do a lot of cooking – I think a well-fed house is a happy house.  Let's hope we win the shopping tasks!"

Ella Rae Wise

The Only Way Is Essex's Ella Rae Wise says: "I think the most I'm looking forward to has to be meeting and getting to know new people and learning new things about myself and others, as well and being out of my comfort zone and under pressure, weirdly because I deal with pressure really well.

"I'm quite relaxed but it might be a bit different being in a house with loads of people that I normally wouldn't spend time with, or know in normal day-to-day life."

Michael Fabricant

Finally, former Tory politician Michael Fabricant is also in the CBB house.

Speaking of what he is looking forward to about the show, he said: "Meeting interesting people and having good conversations. Having some fun and to find out what it’s like being trapped with people I don’t know!"

Celebrity Big Brother 2025 hosts

Celebrity Big Brother 2024 hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best are back for the new series.

When the pair were confirmed as the new Big Brother hosts ahead of the show's reboot in 2023, AJ Odudu said: "I’m so excited to finally be able to say that, yes: I’m hosting Big Brother! I couldn't be happier. Following in the footsteps of some of my favourite broadcasting legends to front such an iconic show is an absolute honour - and to do it alongside my amazing friend Will is the icing on the cake.”

Will Best added: "I grew up with Big Brother so getting a chance to host it with my mate AJ is a dream come true. I can't wait to tell some housemates not to swear."
