THE FAME GAME

It's nearly time to return to the Diary Room, as Celebrity Big Brother welcomes a glittering line-up of famous faces into the heavily surveyed house.

AJ Odudu and Will Best are on hosting duties again for this starry spin-off and while the cast won't be announced until the big launch night, AJ is hoping to see some brawny bachelors walk through the Big Brother doors.

"I want [WWE star] Stone Cold Steve Austin!" laughs AJ, 36. "I want large, giant, muscly men who are used to throwing their weight around." The duo are being kept in the dark about the Celebrity Big Brother line-up, but they're up to date with the rumours, which list former England rugby star James Haskell, X Factor judge Louis Walsh, Hollyoaks' Chelsee Healey and Harry Potter actress Miriam Margolyes as potential housemates.

"The rumours I've heard involve sportspeople, royals, actors," Will, 39, says.

"I want one of each! I want Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees because a lot was made of my three chest hairs on the last series of Big Brother. Someone on Instagram named one of them Barry Gibb." AJ adds, "I love reality TV so I'd love to see someone from Selling Sunset on there.
