'Celebrity Big Brother': Aubrey O'Day Rumoured For Summer Line-Up

The line-up is really starting to take shape.
|

‘Celebrity Big Brother’ bosses have roped in another US star to take part in the upcoming series of the reality show, according to reports.

Before you get too excited, no it isn’t Angelina Jolie or Beyoncé, or even Taylor Swift (although she could probably do with some good publicity right now).

In actual fact, the Daily Star are claiming that ‘CBB’ producers have snagged US reality star Aubrey O’Day, who found fame on the MTV show ‘Making The Band’, spawning the band Danity Kane.

After going it alone as a solo artist, when she clashed with her bandmates on the show, Aubrey took on several roles in musical theatre and also made an appearance on the ‘Celebrity Apprentice’.

Now, before we all go furrowing our brows and muttering about how we don’t need any more Z-list reality stars clogging up the ‘CBB’ house, let’s remember that stars including Farrah Abraham and Tiffany Pollard have been flown over from the US in the past, and wound up being the stars of their respective series.

In other words, you may not have heard of Aubrey, but that doesn’t mean she won’t bring plenty of drama across the Atlantic with her.

It’s thought that Aubrey will be joined by fellow US stars Renee Graziano - a cast member on the reality series ‘Mob Wives’ - and rapper Lil’ Kim, both of whom have been tipped for the line-up of the new series, while former ‘The Partridge Family’ actor David Cassidy is the most recent name linked with an appearance.

The new series of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ kicks off on Thursday, 28 July at 9pm on Channel 5.

Azealia Banks(01 of15)

Azealia kind of has some making up to do to the UK, after essentially slagging off the country's music scene on Twitter at the height of her latest controversy.

Multiple outlets have claimed Azealia could be heading into the house, but given that their main source seems to be a tweet, we wouldn't hold our breath on this one (perhaps unfortunately).

Stephen And Chris From 'Gogglebox'(02 of15)

Yes, please.

These two were the very first celebs rumoured for the new series of 'CBB' - even before the regular series of 'Big Brother' started in June - and given their chemistry on 'Gogglebox', we'd love to see their catty Diary Room asides.

Sarah Harding(03 of15)

Given the impressive list of reality shows Sarah has already racked up since the end of Girls Aloud, 'CBB' doesn't seem too out of the question.

An insider told The Sun: 'She has been offered a lot of money to do it and she is incredibly tempted.'

Lil Kim(05 of15)

The self-professed Queen Bee is said to be getting a similar fee to Katie Price and the late David Gest, who are said to have pocketed the highest fees in 'CBB' history.

And while the successful rapper might seem like a long shot, it's worth noting her past credits include 'The Apprentice', 'Dancing With The Stars' and the short-lived reality show 'Lil Kim: Countdown To Lockdown'.

Helen Lederer(06 of15)

A natural housemate for Lil' Kim, Helen has been slated to be on the line-up for 'CBB', fresh from her appearance in the 'Absolutely Fabulous' film.

Helen's past excursions into reality television include 'Celebrity Masterchef', 'Celebrity Coach Trip' and an ill-fated appearance on 'Splash!'.

Jaymi Hensley(07 of15)

Intriguingly, the rumours about Jaymi's 'CBB' appearance seem to stem from a quote from Union J's manager, who said: 'If they were interested, I'm sure he'd do it.'

Nothing quite like outright asking if your client can go on 'CBB' in a public forum, is there?

Things have certainly gone quiet at Camp Flanagan since the birth of her daughter, Matilda, and it seems she could be about to jump-start her once ever-present spot in the tabloids with a stint on 'CBB'.

"Now that her daughter is a little bit older, it would be the perfect time for her to make her return to the world of showbiz", a source told *sigh* the Sunday Sport.

No, believe it or not, Samantha Fox has actually never done 'CBB'. We're as surprised as you are. (credit:Ian West/PA Archive)
Big Narstie(10 of15)

Another major YES PLEASE from us.

Sadly, though, while we think he'd be an amazing housemate, the reports about Big Narstie's 'CBB' stint stem from the same mysterious tweet that also lists Azealia, so let's not get too excited for now.

aka. Chloe Victoria, aka. Chloe Mafia.

Chloe's journey from 'X Factor' reject to webcam millionairess has been an interesting one, and we'd definitely be rooting for her in the 'CBB' house.

Well. This is just happening, isn't it? He was on 'Ex On The Beach'. He went out with woman of the hour Vicky Pattison for a while. Chuck him in the house, really. Yeah. (credit:MTV)

US exports Tiffany Pollard, Janice Dickinson and Perez Hilton have all proved to be worth the air-fare once they've landed in the 'CBB' house, and 'Mob Wives' star Renee Graziano looks set to follow suit. (credit:Dennis Van Tine/ABACA USA)
