Celebrity Big Brother’ fans reckon they have worked out the identity of one of the new housemates.

A video posted on the show’s official Twtter page has hinted ‘The Chase’ star Mark Labbett (aka the Beast) is among those entering the house next week.

While his voice is digusised and his face is blurred in the clip, it doesn’t take a genius to work out who it is.

The man can be heard saying: “I’m so not scared about going into the house.

“I shall be absolutely callous and cutting.”

He adds: “One of the things I’ll miss is listening to Eminem. I was just listening to him on the way up here. I love Eminem.”

The possibilty it could be Mark seemed to delight many fans on Twitter:

Mark also pretty much gave the game away when one fan tweeted him to ask how he was going to cope making small talk with reality stars.

He replied:

@Markoski86 @bbuk I had several very good conversations with @RealJamesArgent :)

Earlier this week, James Jordan’s widely-anticipated return to the house was teased in a similar video.

The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional is thought to be one of the ‘All Stars’, alongside the likes of Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt, Jedward and Coleen Nolan.

It is thought they will be joined in the ‘CBB’ house by Gazza’s daughter Bianca Gascoigne, Khloe Kardashian’s pal Malika Haqq and former ‘X Factor’ contestant Sam Callahan.

It has also been suggested 2013 champ Rylan Clark-Neal, who now hosts spin-off show ‘Bit On The Side’ could return to the house as part of a task, to face-off with old enemies Speidi.

While fans will not know who will enter until launch night, ‘CBB’ bosses have unveiled the headache-inducing makeover the house has been given with a new set of pictures.

‘Celebrity Big Brother’ launches on Tuesday 3 January at 9pm on Channel 5.
