Celebrity Big Brother's 'most controversial' series yet starts filming very soon
Filming for Celebrity Big Brother is set to start in just a matter of weeks as huge stars enter the iconic house.
It has already been dubbed the "most controversial" series yet and comes just months after Big Brother made its comeback on ITV. Names have already been speculated for who is set to take part in the new show, while some celebrities have even signed the dotted lines already.
This year, bosses have splashed out to ensure that the biggest names will be heading into the world-famous house. Celebrity Big Brother will hit screens in March and the stars will film their entrance VTs ahead of the launch date. A studio has already been booked for the celebrities to shoot their introductory videos.

Producers want this year's stars to be really outrageous in their opening segments, so will be encouraging them to deliver their fighting talk and make dramatic promises that will hook viewers in."
It comes after the Mirror revealed the name of one of the stars already signed up to the show. Chef and television personality Levi Roots will be moving into the iconic house with a string of famous faces. A source told the Mirror: "Levi will be great for the Celebrity Big Brother house. He's got a few exciting projects coming up and he's such a fun character. He's self-made and is an inspiration to a new generation."

He became known for Levi Roots' Reggae Reggae Sauce and was subsequently spotted at a food trade show by a BBC producer who encouraged him to appear on Dragons' Den in 2007. Bosses are also keen to sign up rugby star James Haskell following his public split from his wife Chloe Madeley.
A source told us: “James has brilliant potential as a housemate. He’s a great character and is incredibly likeable. He’s also single after splitting from Chloe, and he was really open about that in his meeting. Bosses think that openness would be fantastic for the show, and people would really warm to him. But he is also not afraid to call a spade a spade and will speak his mind, which was another characteristic that really appealed to the bookers.”
They added: “There are some really massive names in the mix. If they all come off, it will be unmissable TV.” Announcing the iconic show's return last year, ITV said: "Celebrity Big Brother will see a new cast of famous faces isolated from the outside world as they embark on the ultimate social experiment, taking up residence in the iconic Big Brother house. Leaving luxury behind, the celebrities will take part in weekly nominations and tough tasks with cameras capturing their every move. Who will win the hearts of the nation, go all the way to the finish line and be crowned the winner?"
