The new series of Celebrity Big Brother begins on Channel 5 tonight, starring a slew of favourites from the series’ past, alongside a batch of first time contestants.
There has been plenty of speculation, despite her denial, that Katie Price could re-enter the house. Should she do so, we make Pricey the 3/1 favourite to regain her crown.
Famously, the former glamour model won Series 15 after arriving as a latecomer in 2015, and the bookie thinks she’s a safe bet to repeat the trick this year if she isn’t amongst the initial line-up.
Other popular ‘legends’ tipped to return include Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby (4/1), past winners of the normal show Brian Dowling (7/2) and Brian Belo (7/1), and American couple Speidi (10/1).

The list of potential newcomers includes I’m A Celeb winner Scarlett Moffatt (10/1), Olympic legend Jessica Ennis-Hill (8/1) and recent reality show successes Ed Balls (8/1) and Honey G (10/1).
The show follows an “All-Stars” format, meaning both new and previous housemates can take part. Calum Best (7/1), alongside ex-girlfriend Bianca Gascoigne (25/1) are also rumoured to be joining the house.
Spokesman Paddy Power said:
“American singer Ray J will be a new name to some, but not for millions of blokes who know him from his biggest hit – co-starring in Kim Kardashian’s sex tape.
“While Honey G must be salivating at the prospect of working her lyrical ingenuity on CBB. Everybody now, I say ‘Honey’ you say ‘CBB’…”
