Given the Channel 5 show’s ‘eye of the storm’ theme, many are tipping relatives of the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, to appear.
In fact, controversial half-sister Samantha Grant is ODDS-ON (10/11) to be a housemate, while the price has been slashed from 100/1 to 16/1 on Thomas Markle – father to both Meghan and Samantha – also appearing.
And they may not be the only famous relatives appearing, with Ines Knauss, the sister of Melania Trump, just 10/1 to join the CBB house.
HELSINKI, FINLAND – JULY 15: U.S. President Donald Trump and first lady, Melania Trump arrive aboard Air Force One at Helsinki International Airport on July 15, 2018 in Helsinki, Finland. President Trump arrived in Helsinki for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump said in a recent statement that he has ” low expectations” for the meeting, however he is under increasing pressure to confront the Russian President directly about special counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of twelve Russians said to have conspired to sway the decision of the 2016 US election.

We’re convinced that kidnapped model Chloe Ayling (4/9) will be a contestant, as well as TOWIE’s Bobby Cole Norris (1/9) and Love Island 2017 star Gabby Allen (1/4).
While Ant McPartlin’s ex-wife, Lisa Armstrong, is rated as 33/1 to pitch up in Borehamwood to tell her side of their break-up story.

The Big Brother franchise is in the last year of its contract with Channel 5, who are reportedly reluctant to renew the deal – Paddy Power make ITV (4/6) the clear favourites to poach the show, with a return to Channel 4 rated at 2/1.
Our spokesman Paddy Power said: “Producers revealed that this series of CBB will have the theme ‘eye of the storm’, and few people fit that brief better than Thomas Markle.
“He’s said that he plans to come to the UK to try and reconcile with Meghan, and to visit one British Royalty – the CBB house. Plus, we know he’ll do anything for cash.
“While the show itself may find its famous eye logo in a storm of its own, as Channel 5 seem keen to drop it. We make it odds-on that CBB goes to ITV, joining the likes of Love Island on its roster.”
