See all of the rumoured celebs below:

Nick Bateman ‘Nasty’ Nick Bateman, the original Big Brother bad boy appeared on the first ever series of the show back in 2000 and quickly became a talking point for his constant rule breaking.

Les Dennis The Coronation Street actor is reportedly keen to make a return after his stint on Big Brother 2.

Jasmine Lennard She was the first housemate evicted on the show back in 2012 but not before leaving her mark on the house!

Stephen Bear It wouldn’t be an ‘All Stars' show without the leading champion. Stephen ‘Bear’ Bear shockingly beat off competition from his housemates last year after a month of some very controversial antics.

Who can forget when he cheated on his girlfriend live on the show with Chloe Khan!

Big Brother bosses are yet to confirm the line-up for the new series but if the rumours are anything to go by it's set to be an incredible series to mark the 20th anniversary.

If previous years are anything to go by, the new celebrity addition of the show will hit our TV screens in January, a perfect way to start the new year.
