Curiosity over who will star in the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother is building as the first episode approaches. Producers of the hit reality show have remained tight-lipped over who will be moving into the famous house, but there is no shortage of press speculation about the identities of those who will be literally living their lives in the public eye.

Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine and former Starsky And Hutch actor Paul Michael Glaser have already been confirmed for the show, along with punk rocker Donny Tourette and Steps singer Ian Watkins. Dirk Benedict, who starred in both the A-Team and Battlestar Galactica is also predicted to be among the housemates.

And with the presence of a clutch of showbiz beauties a regular feature of the series, fans are eager to find out who will be there to set pulses racing this time around. Former Miss Great Britain Danielle Lloyd, who was stripped of her title after her romance with competition judge Teddy Sheringham was discovered, is thought to be a likely contender, and insiders are also predicting the presence of Bollywood bombshell Shilpa Shetty.

Reality TV favourite Jade Goody is likewise tipped to put in an appearance, along with her boyfriend Jack Tweedy and Coronation Street's Julie Goodyear. TV presenter Robert Kilroy-Silk, who was sacked by the BBC after criticising Arab cultures, is meanwhile expected to add a little controversy to the mix.
