Celebrity Big Brother 2015: The recipe for who goes in
- Published
The 16th series of Celebrity Big Brother's about to begin.
Since switching to Channel 5, the show has been broadcast twice a year.
Names being mentioned this year include X-Factor contestants Stevi Ritchie and Chloe Jasmine, former Atomic Kitten singer Natasha Hamilton and model Janice Dickinson.
Even though the line-up is never confirmed until transmission, you can normally have a good guess at who's in it.
So here is the definitive "recipe" for a classic Celebrity Big Brother.
The reality star
They're used to having their lives micro-managed on TV so getting an already established reality star to go on CBB is usually no trouble.
TOWIE, Made In Chelsea and Geordie Shore have all been well represented in recent years.
The alumni list includes Mario Falcone, Kirk Norcross, Lauren Goodger and Ollie Locke.
There are rumours that this year it could be James Hill from the Apprentice.
The Loose Woman
Denise Welch won Celebrity Big Brother in 2012
Celebrity Big Brother LOVES getting a Loose Woman panellist to take part, presumably in the knowledge they're a little bit gobby.
Carol McGiffin, Nadia Sawalha, Denise Welsh and Coleen Nolan have all taken part before.
This year's representative could be Sherrie Hewson, who also used to be in Coronation Street.
The random US actor
Dustin Diamond was fourth to be evicted in Summer 2013
CBB's US stars aren't exactly known for their A-list blockbusters.
Instead, they're best remembered for their retro TV and straight-to-DVD films (although they're often dressed up as the "star billing").
For Series 12, producers got Dustin Diamond who used to play Screech in Saved By The Bell. Diamond is currently facing a different type of confinement - he's been charged with stabbing a man in a bar fight on Christmas Day.
Meanwhile, on CBB series 5 it was Dirk Benedict from The A Team representing the US.
Verne Troyer (Mini-Me in Austin Powers), Michael Madsen and Gary Busey all fitted that bill too.
This year could be filled by Daniel Baldwin, who is best known for Homicide: Life on the Street.
That person from the tabloids
Deidre "Dee" Kelly made it to the final of the most recent series of CBB
There's a formula for this one. Normal person gains infamy, notoriety or racks up the column inches in the tabloids.
After weeks in the headlines, Celebrity Big Brother comes around and said person goes into the house.
Deirdre "White Dee" Kelly appeared after getting everyone's attention on Benefit Street.
Katie Hopkins was on the last series and former boxing promoter Kellie Maloney got signed up soon after she revealed herself to be transsexual.
The 90s pop star
Claire Richards placed fourth in CBB 11
If you're too young to remember the days of Top Of The Pops and Smash Hits then don't worry because CBB likes to remind you of the stars who were HUGE in the pop world when you were playing with Lego.
Claire Richards from Steps, Abz Love from 5ive, Edele Lynch from B*Witched and Ben Adams from A1 have all taken part.
Last time round it was 90s singer Kavana.
The glamour model
Casey Batchelor got to the final of CBB 13
Putting a glamour model into the Celebrity Big Brother house means certain tabloids can plaster pictures of the model into into their papers for weeks.
Usually, when they're announced the biggest reaction is: "Who? unless you're a regular reader of lads' mags.
Recent signings include Lacey Banghard, Casey Batchelor, Nicola McLean and Cami Li.
The buzz this year is a few of models are going in, including Tila Tequila.
