Too fat to work stars lined up for Big Brother

There’s nothing we love more than a bit of Big Brother gossip.

It’s been over a month since CBB finished and we’re getting serious withdrawal symptoms.

Big Brother is back with a bit of a twist this year, as the show will be given a 'pairs' theme.

A message posted on the official Big Brother Facebook page earlier this year read: "BIG BROTHER 2017 IS BACK.... and this time we're looking for PAIRS!"

And since, the rumour mill has well and truly got going.

Michaella McCollum and Melissa Reid – the pair arrested in Peru for smuggling drugs in 2013 – have supposedly been approached by producers, alongside Pop Idol legends The Cheeky Girls.

The next housemate reportedly signed up is Playboy model Carla Howe who has been linked to three former Celebrity Big Brother stars.

She's set to enter the house with her sister, Melissa, and it's been reported that she's promised to drop a few bombshells.

But, the latest pair rumoured for the show are Channel 5 stars Stephen and Michelle Beer.

The couple made headlines after starring on Benefits: Too Fat To Work, and have been approached for the next series by producers.

A source has reportedly told Daily Star that Steve and Michelle both went for an audition back in February after completing an application, and could be heading for the final line-up.

The couple are said to still be in contact with Channel 5, meaning we could see them enter the house in May.

Although there hasn’t been a confirmed start date for Big Brother 2017, it’s reported that we can expect to see the show returning to our screens in June.

Fingers crossed these next few months speed by!
