Celebrity Big Brother 2017: Emma Willis and Rylan Clark-Neal appear in NEW promo photos

As the rumours surrounding the Celebrity Big Brother 2017 housemate line-up start to amp up, hosts Emma Willis and Rylan Clark-Neal look just about ready to pop — and who can blame them.

Just this afternoon the reality TV pair appeared in a brand new set of promo photos featuring a pop-art-inspired theme to match the style of the previously released All Stars vs. New Stars eye logo.

With the launch date scheduled for January 3, Channel 5 confirmed last week that the new series will feature a mix of former CBB housemates as well as some new faces, but kept mum on their identities.

New stars rumoured to be entering the house include I’m A Celeb’s ‘Queen of the Jungle’ Scarlett Moffatt, The Apprentice star Jessica Cunningham, TOWIE’s Danielle Armstrong, reality TV regular Bianca Gascoigne and Miss BumBum 2015 winner Suzy Cortez.

Meanwhile on the ‘all star’ side of the line-up, past housemates who are said to be returning to the reality show include US blogger and columnist Perez Hilton, Calum Best and Frenchy Morgan, outspoken model Jasmine Lennard, Irish twins Jedward, American power couple Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag (aka Speidi), as well as CBB 2016’s champion Stephen Bear.

Elsewhere, Lauren Harries has reportedly become the first celebrity confirmed to be taking part in the new series.

Reps for the transgender entertainer, who finished in third place when she took part in the 2013 series of the show, cryptically told Mail Online: “All she can say is that she shall be meeting some interesting people at Elstree on the 2nd of January.”

But Channel 5 refused to support the statement, remarking: “As always, we don’t comment on rumoured housemates. We shall announce them on the evening.”

Simultaneously, James Jordan – who has previously been tipped for a CBB return, with Channel 5 allegedly offering him a six-figure deal – has denied that he has been asked to enter the house in January.

Speaking to OK! this week, he revealed: “I’ve heard these rumours, but I haven’t had the phone call yet. But I would, if they asked me. I loved it the first time, but I haven’t been asked.”

Our advice? Stay by the phone, James.

Celebrity Big Brother returns to Channel 5 on Tuesday, January 3 2017.
