A full line-up of this year’s Celebrity Big Brother has been leaked on social media and lists controversial actor Matthew Wolfenden among those set to ITV join show

A full list of celebrity names has been leaked on social media by someone who claims to have worked at the production company Banijay – who produce the ITV show.

Ahead of its launch in March this year, the rumour mill has been kicked into overdrive as fans have been discussing who they think will be in this year’s line-up.

Taking to Twitter a disgruntled former employee posted a full list of names, claiming that he gained the information by being part of an email thread before being axed from the production company.

Above the list, the mystery person wrote: “Very recently got laid of by Banijay, so here’s the Celebrity Big Brother line-up for you all…got to love the anonymity of reddit:).”

They then added: “Posted form an email chain I was looped into a month or so ago.” The first name on the list is former Dancing On Ice judge John Barrowman, followed by Baga Chipz from Drag Race UK, Linda Robson from Loose Women, Gary Lucy, who recently became a dad again with former flame Laura Anderson, and former TOWIE star Joey Essex.

Other names on the list include Gogglebox’s Scarlett Moffatt, Curtis Pritchard, boxing champion Nicola Adams, actor Richard Blackwood, Louis Walsh and opinionated actress Miriam Margolyes. Matthew Wolfenden was also on the list. The former Emmerdale actor caused controversy after he was seen kissing another woman following his shock split with wife and mother of his three kids, Charly Webb. Music artist Tinchy Stryder, actress Lorraine Stanley and presenter Ade Adepitan were also on the list of this year’s line-up.

But former TOWIE star Chloe Brockett has also been rumoured to join the show after being suspended from the ITVBe reality TV show. A source told The Sun: “Chloe Brockett is in talks to appear on the show – nothing is signed yet but she’s really excited and can’t stop telling people.She grew up watching the show and her return to TOWIE is still uncertain so it would be a good show to do while she’s waiting to see if she’ll go back to it. ITV already know Chloe is great TV.”

But a Big Brother spokesperson squashed the rumour mill and claimed all names that have been put forward were pure speculation. Chloe was suspended from TOWIE last year after she allegedly threw three tumbler glasses at her co-star Roman Hackett, following a heated exchange during filming.

It remains unknown if Chloe will return to the show as the current cast have not been told who will be heading to Bali to film another series. A source told The Sun: “Chloe Brockett still doesn’t know if she’s returning to the show after her suspension.”

The source added: “The cast haven’t even been told who is going to Bali and who isn’t. It’s all hanging in the balance – Chloe makes great TV though so behind the scenes, everyone thinks she’ll go back.” At the time, the cast of the ITV reality show were said to be horrified at Chloe’s actions and called for her to be axed permanently.
