The first male star set to join the eight female housemates in the new series of Celebrity Big Brother has been confirmed.
Former Liverpool football player John Barnes will join the compound this Friday night (5 January) following a live eviction.
The series is presented by Emma Willis.
This was the second Big Brother launch in history to have seen just women enter the house following the reality competition’s non-celebrity eighth series which aired on Channel 4 back in 2007.
