Celebrity Big Brother is back, and this year’s lineup promises fireworks, fierce debates, and no shortage of drama. With a mix of outspoken legends and unpredictable wild cards, this could be the most explosive series in years.
ITV1’s Celebrity Big Brother returns Monday, and while past seasons have been criticised for playing it too safe, this year’s cast is set to shake things up. Among the high-profile names entering the house are Hollywood rebel Mickey Rourke, TV talk show host Trisha Goddard, ex-Tory MP Michael Fabricant, and Olympic decathlon icon Daley Thompson. With a combined age of 279, this group isn’t here to play nice, expect brutally honest opinions and no-nonsense attitudes.
A Lineup That Could Spark Fireworks
Mickey Rourke (72) – The legendary actor (9½ Weeks, The Wrestler) is no stranger to controversy, with a past filled with turbulent relationships, wild interviews, and even a claim that U.S. secret services once paid him a visit.
Trisha Goddard (67) – The veteran talk show host and mental health advocate is joining the house while undergoing monthly chemotherapy treatments. She’s known for tackling tough topics head-on, and she won’t shy away from deep conversations.
Michael Fabricant (73) – The former Conservative MP, known for his bold opinions and even bolder hairstyle, is sure to bring political debates (and maybe a few arguments) into the house.
Daley Thompson (66) – The Olympic champion has never been afraid to speak his mind, even when it’s landed him in hot water. His unfiltered takes could ruffle a few feathers among younger housemates.
A Season That Could Break the Internet - With past seasons criticised for being too tame, fans are hoping this mix of outspoken personalities will bring back the raw, unpredictable energy that made Big Brother a must-watch. Whether it’s heated generational debates, old-school vs. new-school clashes, or unexpected alliances, CBB 2025 is shaping up to be anything but boring.
The drama kicks off Monday on ITV1, get ready for a wild ride.
