The line-up for this year's Celebrity Big Brother has been revealed, and there's quite a few names on there we were expecting to see.
The celebrities will head into the Big Brother house next Monday (4 March) so it's not long before you'll get to see whether any of them can produce any moments as iconic as the chaos that followed Angie Bowie learning that her ex-husband David Bowie had died and Tiffany Pollard thinking she meant another David.
According to The Sun, the full line-up of a dozen celebrities has been finalised and the list of who will be heading into the house is here.

Take this with a pinch of salt as ITV told LADbible: "Any names are at this point pure speculation and viewers will have to tune in to see who will be entering the Celebrity Big Brother house."
Of course they would say that to get you to tune in on Monday and watch Celebrity Big Brother.
Quite a few of these names had been linked with appearing on CBB already, though it doesn't look like there's going to be any room for the likes of Jordan North.

Or perhaps he was always going to be too busy switching radio stations to spend a couple of weeks isolated from society, who knows?
Nikita Kuzmin
ITV might have poached the BBC's Ukrainian dancer, but Strictly Come Dancing isn't on right now so he's got time in his calendar.

Some fans of the tentpole dancing show might also follow Nikita across to CBB, but this time the only judges he has to impress are the voting public.
David Potts
Ibiza Weekender rep David is no stranger to reality TV, especially if they've got the word 'celebrity' in them

Celebs Go Dating, Celebs on the Farm, Celebrity Karaoke Club and Celebrity Ghost Trip have all been conquered, now he's adding Celebrity Big Brother to the list.
Bradley Riches
He's coming to Celebrity Big Brother and he's bringing the Heartstopper fandom along with him.

The 24-year-old actor is going to be a major draw for the show and could bring some of the young'uns on board.
Especially since the last series of the show released in 2018, which is actually quite a while ago now.
Zeze Millz
For those of you wondering who Zeze Millz is, you need to spend more time in YouTube, where she presents The Zeze Millz Show and interviews major personalities.
If you've been channel hopping then you might have seen her on Good Morning Britain.
Marisha Wallace
The Big Brother house's resident American this time around, Marisha is a star of the stage and screen so perhaps she'll delight and amaze the housemates and viewers.
She's been in the likes of Something Rotten, Hairspray and Oklahoma!, for which she got an Olivier Award nomination.
Colson Smith
You know, Craig from Coronation Street.
He's trading in soapland and the cobbles of Weatherfield for the bright, clean and pristine surroundings of the Big Brother house.
Apparently he's 'thrilled' to be joining the show, and a cheery housemate is a popular housemate.
Fern Britton
The TV presenter is reportedly ready to lift the lid on some of her stories from being on the telly, including her views on Phillip Schofield.
Meanwhile, The Sun also reports that they've been told viewers will see a more 'unscripted and unapologetic' side to her.
Louis Walsh
The former X Factor judge is sure to be one of the more recognisable faces going into the Big Brother house this year.
The 71-year-old has been a staple of the TV screen for years so seeing him on Celebrity Big Brother ought to be no surprise at all.
He'll work well with the show's special guest, a former colleague of his.
Lauren Simon
The 46-year-old is a reality TV OG, having appeared on the first season of Real Housewives of Cheshire back in 2015.
In 2019, it was announced that Simon had 'some personal stuff going on', according to co-star Dawn Ward.
"Lauren's an amazing person, I am missing her to bits. I speak to her daily but she has other commitments at the minute that she needs to concentrate on," she said.
"She will be sadly missed, but I am sure we haven't seen the last of Lauren."
It sounds like we’ll see her next in the Big Brother house.
Gary Goldsmith
Who?
Okay, he’s Kate Middleton’s uncle who reportedly tried to get onto I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Whether that’ll translate into him being a popular housemate remains to be seen.
A source told The Sun that 'he could be TV Gold' due to him being 'confident' and 'loud.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu
Love Island viewers will already know all about Ekin-Su.
The Love Island star has built up quite the impressive TV repertoire after appearing on the reality TV show in 2022.
She recently appeared on The Traitors in the US and Dancing on Ice back in the UK.
Ekin-Su recently split up with her ex-boyfriend, Davide Sanclimenti, who she met on the dating show.
Levi Roots.
Yes, that's right, the mind behind Reggae Reggae Sauce who charmed everyone on Dragon's Den appears to be heading into the Big Brother house.
With his sauce popular in the supermarkets and Roots himself making plenty of appearances on TV ever since his business success it’s no surprise that people have plenty of fondness for him.
And that's your dozen, but this time around there's going to be a special guest housemate.
Sharon Osbourne
Apparently Sharon Osbourne is also going to be joining them for a while, but as a special housemate instead of a fully fledged contestant.
According to The Sun she won't be entering the house on launch night and will instead spend a few days in the house, where she'll already know fellow former X Factor judge Louis Walsh.
