Uncle of Princess Diana, Gary Goldsmith, has surprised fans by entering the Celebrity Big Brother house, a show he had previously sworn he would never do. The series, which marks the return of Celebrity Big Brother after a six-year hiatus, has also brought together former X Factor judges Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh, who are watching their fellow contestants from a secret ‘lair’.
In a twist, Sharon and Louis nominated Gary Goldsmith, David Potts, and Zeze Millz to be “in danger” of facing a public vote based on their first impressions, with Louis explaining, “we didn’t like them”. Other contestants joining the show include Strictly’s Nikita Kuzmin and Love Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
Hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best, this year’s line-up also includes Fern Britton, Louis Walsh, Bradley Riches, Colson Smith, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Lauren Simon, Levi Roots, Marisha Wallace, Nikita Kuzmin, Zeze Millz, and David Potts.
Gary Goldsmith, who previously auditioned for I’m A Celebrity in 2023, expressed his desire to “put the record straight” on his past and shed light on his relationship with the royal family. Meanwhile, Lauren Simon, an original member of the Real Housewives of Cheshire, is ready to bring her no-nonsense attitude to the house, stating that she “doesn’t answer to anybody”.
Levi Roots, the successful entrepreneur behind Reggae Reggae Sauce, is excited to bring his cooking expertise to the show, dubbing Big Brother a “brother from another mother”. And Nikita Kuzmin, known for his appearances on Strictly Come Dancing, is eager to accomplish his dreams outside of the dance floor.
Overall, the mix of personalities promises drama, entertainment, and surprises for viewers as the new season of Celebrity Big Brother unfolds with a diverse cast of characters.
