Huge US star confirmed for Celebrity Big Brother as they're pictured at London airport

The launch of Celebrity Big Brother is only days away and speculation surrounding the line-up has been rife. Although ITV won't be releasing the line-up until launch night on Monday, a star-studded line-up has been revealed and one huge star has been spotted at Gatwick Airport.

Currently, rumoured names include EastEnders' Patsy Palmer, Coronation Street's Jack P. Shepherd and TV host Trisha Goddard. Also on the rumoured line up is Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa – who's seemingly confirmed her stint in the house after touching down in the UK.

Recently, JoJo was spotted at Gatwick Airport with a huge grin on her face in a picture circulating X, formerly known as Twitter. The 21-year-old could be seen walking through arrivals wearing a matching grey and blue tracksuit as she pushed along a big yellow suitcase.

Fans are going crazy at the thought of the star entering the house, as one penned: "This is genuinely so surreal," as another wrote: "I'm so excited for her idc."

"Can’t stop thinking about AJ Odudu greeting JoJo Siwa live on Celebrity Big Brother," penned another while a fourth excited fan wrote: "F**k off, I didn’t think it’d ACTUALLY be true."

Previously speaking about her rumoured stint on the show, a source told The Sun. "JoJo is a big name among the highly-coveted younger audience and brings with her a big US fan base. She’s one of those names that regular ITV viewers might not know - but certainly will do by the end of the ITV series. Everyone is excited and hope to get the deal over the line."

JoJo, shortened from Joelle Joanie, rose to fame after she appeared on the fourth season of Lifetime Network's competition show Dance Moms back in 2015. The star was just nine years old at the time but has excelled in her career since and has become a social media sensation, as well as a singer.

She's undergone a huge transformation over the years, ditching her signature 'childlike' appearance for a more grunge, punk rock look when she released her 2024 single, Karma. The song reached 76 on the UK Official Singles Chart.

Addressing the controversy, JoJo took to her TikTok to say: "Recently I’ve shown myself looking different, not the classic rainbow, sparkles, and a side ponytail with a JoJo bow. I’ve been hated on for YEARS for dressing “Young” and acting “Childish”.

"People think this is me changing - NOPE! I just love who I am! this is just me at night or in the morning!’"
