The Celebrity Big Brother contestants will be living in a stylish tropical paradise when the new series kicks off.
First-look pictures of the famous television lock-up reveal the house’s sophisticated interiors, complete with leaf-printed wallpaper and textiles, and a Hollywood Regency flair.
There are brightly-coloured furnishings, lavish potted plants and bold neon lights inside the compound, as well as a vintage standalone salmon pink bathtub against a flamingo wall mural.
In the garden, the housemates will be able to recline in a hot tub while surrounded by cacti and succulents, and also relax on bright yellow sun loungers.
An outdoor cocktail bar has been built for added luxury.
Channel 5 said the home has been inspired by the “sunny climes of California” and will act as the perfect retreat for its star guests who have been caught up in a “media storm”, referencing the reality show’s Eye of the Storm theme.
Famous faces rumoured to be joining the line-up include adult film star Stormy Daniels, who gained notoriety after suing President Donald Trump following an alleged affair, and Samantha Markle, the half-sister of the Duchess of Sussex.
Others in the frame for a spot on the show are former Liverpool and Arsenal player Jermaine Pennant, Love Island star Gabby Allen, former The Only Way Is Essex cast member Dan Osborne, and ex-Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas.
Celebrity Big Brother will return to Channel 5 on Thursday August 16 at 9pm.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
