Ex-Corrie star Ken Morley tipped for Celeb Big Brother

Former Coronation Street star Ken Morley is the latest star tipped to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house.

With just one day to go to the launch of CBB 2015 on Wednesday January 7 the rumoured line-up has had a few losses and a few gains.

Ken, who played supermarket manager Reg Holdsworth in Corrie, 80s soul singer Alexander O'Neal, whose hits include If You Were Here tonight and former EastEnder turned Loose Woman Nadia Sawalha all on the housemate list, according to The Sun.

Martine McCutcheon has ruled herself out on Twitter, insisting she will not be taking part in the Channel 5 reality show.

She tweeted: "For the record, I am definitely not going in to Celebrity Big Brother..."

While former Holby City actress Patsy Kensit and gossip blogger Perez Hilton seem to be hinting they will be entering the house.

Patsy teased: "I have a feeling that meditation is going to help me a lot in the next month!"

And Perez has retweeted a message from US reality star Spencer Pratt, himself a former housemate, saying: "so excited for new #CBB ! I really hope @PerezHilton is in the house!!!"

It appears it will be a house dominated by US stars, with former Baywatch actor Jeremy Jackson, Ex On The Beach contestant Chloe Goodman, American model Cami Li and US TV presenter Michelle Visage are all rumoured to be taking part this year.

Also expected to join them are rent-a-gob Katie Hopkins, comedian Keith Chegwin, glamour model Alicia Douvall and Callum Best - reality star and son of the late footballer George Best.
