'Celebrity Big Brother' 2017 Line-Up To Include Charlotte Crosby And Stephen Bear As A Couple?

Because clearly there aren't enough terrible things already happening in the world.

He might have been one of the most antagonistic housemates of all time, but it seems Stephen Bear could be heading back into the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house - only this time with girlfriend and fellow winner Charlotte Crosby in tow.

Producers are reportedly lining the pair up to star on this summer’s series of the Channel 5 reality show as a couple.

Charlotte appeared on the summer 2013 series of ‘CBB’, which she went on to win, while Bear triumphed in last summer’s final, despite his behaviour upsetting many viewers during the last series. 

It was later revealed he had been given a number of warnings about his conduct that bosses chose not to air.

Back in January, Bear claimed he was “not cool enough” to be invited to appear on the previous ‘All Stars And New Stars’ series. 

Charlotte and Bear are not the only couple reportedly being courted by ‘CBB’ producers to re-enter the house, as new parents Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell have been named as potential housemates

Faryal Makhdoom, who is married to boxer Amir Khan, also revealed she has been approached to appear on the series

Lee Ryan was embroiled in a love triangle with both Jasmine and glamour model Casey Batchelor during his time in the 'CBB' house, which made him pretty unpopular with the British public. He and Jasmine went on holiday to Thailand once their time in the house was through, but it ultimately wasn't to be, and she's since branded him a "damaged soul with no money or career".

We'll never forget their romps in the 'BB' house (no matter how hard we've tried...), and Kimberly and Steven even kept their romance going in the outside world, tying the knot in 2015.Sadly, it wasn't to last though, with reports suggesting months later that they had called it a day.

It seemed at some point or another every woman in the 'Big Brother' house wanted to sink their claws into Pete, but it was ultimately Nikki Grahame who snagged the energetic raver... for about five minutes, that is, until the magazine deals dried up and she found herself single again. (credit:WENN)

Cruelly, fate thrust them together again as they both wound up in the 'Ultimate Big Brother' house.

Theirs wasn't exactly a romance, but we've included them because their week-long shenanigans got 2016's series of 'Big Brother' to a very raunchy start, with boob-biting, choking and one very quick eviction all taking place in a matter of days. (credit:REX/Shutterstock)

However, things took a downward turn after they were evicted.

Bristolian "randy mare" Josie and Australian Beckham-lookalike John James spent most of their final weeks in the 'BB' house laying around with their microphones off.

They split once arriving back in the real world, with Josie breaking out of the 'Ultimate Big Brother' house to be with him, though it didn't last, as Josie claims he made too many comments about her weight.
