This series of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ promises some “brilliant” housemates whose names haven't even hit the rumour mill yet, according to ‘Bit on the Side’ host Rylan Clark. The new series kicks off on Thursday and already names including 'TOWIE's' Lewis Bloor, Katie Waissel, Lil’ Kim and David Cassidy have all been rumoured, with Christopher Biggins joining the list today.

Appearing on ‘This Morning’, Rylan was shown pictures of the rumoured names and pressed for any info by hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford. But Rylan refused to give any confirmation, telling the hosts: “No I wouldn't tell you nothing.”

“Of course I know I work on the show, I know everything," he continued. "All I will say is that normally when you see the rumours in the papers there's some substance behind some of their names.” Ruth then asked him: "Can I ask you this then is one of them people definitely in?”
