Celebrity Big Brother fans slam the “horrible” list of rumored housemates and predict the series will “fail spectacularly” as they “don’t know who most of the stars are”: “When you have to Google the 80%, not a good alignment!’

Celebrity Big Brother fans have criticized the new series’ rumored line-up as “appalling”, saying they barely recognize any of the names.

The reboot of the reality series will launch on March 4, six years after it last aired on Channel 5 in August 2018.

ITV bosses have reportedly spent a whopping £2million on several high-profile stars for the show after the civilian version proved a huge hit last year.

Other names said to be in talks to take part include former Love Island winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu and former X Factor judge Louis Walsh, among many more.

However, the reaction to the stars rumored to be taking part has been one of disappointment, with many fans complaining that they are hardly celebrities.

Several have taken to social media to say they won’t tune in to watch and predict that the series will “flop” as they have had to Google the names to find out who they are.

One person wrote: “I’ve heard of three of them… misselling the word celebrity,” while another added: “I’m getting old.” I only know five of these housemates.

A third echoed: “I’m here googling 90% of these ‘celebrities’, while another said: ‘Well what a horrible lineup that is, call it a Z list.”

A fifth agreed, saying: “Kate Middleton’s UNCLE, we’re really calling ANYONE a celebrity these days,” while a sixth wrote: “I don’t know who most of these people are!” I wonder what the celebrity’s interpretation of it is?

Someone else tweeted: “I know 5 of them… which isn’t bad by Channel 5 #CBB standards but not gonna lie, for the comeback series on a @ITV budget instead of C5 peanuts I was hoping something better”.

While another fumed: ‘An incredibly poor range, even worse than the C5 series. It will fail spectacularly.’

A ninth stated: ‘When you have to Google 80% of a lineup, it’s not a good lineup! Disappointed to say the least!’

And a tenth said: “I had high hopes… if this is true I won’t watch it,” while another added: “Who knew Channel 5 had more appeal than ITV.” Horrible list.

It has been reported that Louis, 71, allegedly struck a huge six-figure deal to get into the house.

He is believed to be reuniting with his former X Factor colleague Sharon Osbourne in the house as she is also said to be taking part.

However, the TV personality, 71, is not expected to stay for the full 17 days, as insiders said. Sun that his rate was too expensive for ITV.

A source told the publication: ‘Sharon is a boarding house mate and won’t be coming on launch night. Instead, she will come once the show has started and she will be there for a few days.

“The fee she wanted was eye-watering and in the end they reached a deal that meant she would accept a shorter career.

“It’s worked out well for everyone as she will inject some drama when she finally walks through the doors.”

While actor Bradley, 24, who is gay and autistic, hopes his appearance on the iconic reality series will help with representation.

David from Ibiza Weekender, 30 years old, has already exhausted the reality circuit, also appearing on Celebs Go Dating, Celebs on the Farm, Celebrity Karaoke Club and Celebrity Ghost Trip.

American actress Marisha Wallace, 38, hopes to follow the success of previous great American personalities on the show.

While Ekin-Su’s entry into the house would come at a good time for the reality star, 29, after she recently split from ex-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti earlier this year.

This Morning’s Fern Britton, 66, could also bring in plenty of juicy gossip as it has been reported that she has no intention of “holding back” from shedding light on her past feud with Phillip Schofield.

“She wants to show the public a different side of her, unscripted and unapologetic,” a source said. Sun.

‘He has many stories to tell and won’t hold back when it comes to his relationships with people like Phil.
