Celebrity Big Brother: Emma Willis on who’s going in house, promises EXPLOSIVE launch night

It didn’t really take us long to get over the end of The X Factor because, well, Christmas...

But we have something else to get excited about too – Celebrity Big Brother starts VERY soon.

And show host Emma Willis has spoken of her excitement about who’s going into the house next month.

The television presenter refused to give any actual names, but she is impressed at some of the famous faces series bosses have managed to sign up for the next series.

She said: “They are so fantastic at getting the right types of people.

“There are a couple in there that I was so excited about, purely because of my own love of them in the past.

“Aside from people you may have loved in the past, there are just some great characters who I think will give TV gold.”

Some of the former housemates have not always been that well known but they have turned out to be some of the most watchable people in there.

And Emma insists it’s these people who add to the excitement of the series.

She continued: “Often the people you’ve never heard of end up being the biggest names of the series.

“I don’t think many people knew who Farrah Abraham was before she did CBB. But we all know who she is now!

“She definitely provided a hell of a lot of content. Jasmine Waltz, as well. I didn’t know who she was, but she just delivered brilliantly.”

Meanwhile, the house has undergone a makeover and will have a Vaudeville theme next year, with the set looking theatrical.

Emma added: “There’s always going to be a sinister side to any Big Brother theme and I’m sure there was a sinister side to Vaudeville.

“And there will be a big explosion on launch night which will set a cat among the pigeons!”

Yay!

Celebrity Big Brother stars on January 5 on Channel 5.
