Wondering what you're going to do when X Factor and Strictly end? Fear not friends, because yet another series of Celebrity Big Brother is just around the corner. It is expected to return on January 5 on Channel 5 and this year it will have a "twisted fairytale" theme.
Emma Willis and Rylan Clark will be back in January with another batch of famous (and not so famous) faces, willing to humiliate themselves for our amusement.
Here are 15 early rumours about potential housemates for the 2015 series.
1. Danniella Westbrook
The former EastEnders actress has had a terrible 2014 and she's recently been on This Morning talking about her financial plight, so it isn't a surprise to hear that she's a new hot favourite to be heading into the house. Producers will no doubt hope that she's prepared to spill the beans about her troubles with drug addictions.
2. Sammy Winward
She seems like a bit of a long shot,...

Justin Lee Collins's ex-girlfriend Anna Larke has spoken out following his conviction for harassing her. The former PR worker told The Mirror that the TV presenter began controlling every aspect of her life within weeks of moving into his West London home in January 2011. Collins apparently stopped her contacting friends and family, insisted she faced him while she was sleeping and forced her to change her appearance. "I wasn't allowed to have an opinion or do anything he wasn't happy about. The merest thing I did could upset him and then he would go into rages. I wasn't allowed to even look at another man in the street," she said. "In one of his rages which I taped on my phone he yelled at me, 'When you are out with me you look at the ground, the tree, any inanimate object, but not any other human being, you slag'.

Even putting 17-year-old Miley’s head on an of-age model’s naked body is a felony, and if prosecuted and convicted (and it’s almost always prosecuted), he’s looking at jail time and having to register as a sex offender. And because it went out electronically, it’s a federal offense with a 15-year mandatory sentence if convicted. There is no punch line to this, it’s just slimy.
Moving on to more pleasant topics, Towleroad points us to an interview Adam Lambert did with the Justin Lee Collins Show,...

Even putting 17-year-old Miley’s head on an of-age model’s naked body is a felony, and if prosecuted and convicted (and it’s almost always prosecuted), he’s looking at jail time and having to register as a sex offender. And because it went out electronically, it’s a federal offense with a 15-year mandatory sentence if convicted. There is no punch line to this, it’s just slimy.

Rupert Grint was left red-faced during a U.K. TV appearance on Monday night when he was forced to perform the rap he used to land his role in Harry Potter.
The actor was just 10 years old when he won the part of Ron Weasley in the hit wizard franchise, and it was a homemade video audition which convinced producers to give him a starring role.
During an interview on British chat show Justin Lee Collins: Good Times, the 20 year old tried to avoid performing the piece, admitting, "I can't remember it. I don't have a beat, I need a beat."
But host Collins convinced the actor to reproduce his audition video.
Grint rapped, "Hello there, my name's Rupert Grint, I hope you like this and don't think I stink", before confessing: "That was the first line and all I can remember. I was 10!"...
