Theres a Love Island shaped hole in all of our lives, and we desperately need something to fill the void.
Although Great British Bake Off will be back on our screens soon, it just doesnt have the same level of drama, which is where the new series of Celebrity Big Brother comes in.
The eye of the storm trailer has just been released for the series which some are saying may be the last.
Check it out, as well as the rumoured contestants for 2018.
When is Celebrity Big Brother back on?
The 22nd series of CBB starts on Friday 17 August when Emma Willis will be ushering the contestants into the house.
It will be shown on Channel 5 as it has been since 2011 but it has not been confirmed how long the series will run for.

Who are the rumoured contestants?
Samantha Markle
Could this actually happen? Well according to the rumour-mongers we could indeed be seeing Meghan Markles half-sister jetting over from Florida for a spell in the CBB house – with reports suggesting shes pretty high on the priority list. The theme for this summers CBB series is understood to be “Scandal” so Sam is ideal for this, a source told the Daily Star.
Noel Edmonds
Noel Edmonds has also joined the rumourmill for the upcoming series of Celebrity Big Brother.
Channel 5 bosses are apparently desperate to sign Noel and this year are going to leave confirming contestants involved right until the last minute to ensure they have enough time to try and snare their must-haves.
One TV insider told The Sun of the Deal Or No Deal host: Noel is one of the most recognisable faces on the box. Hes been a household name for decades and producers know he is someone who viewers will be interested in. He isnt someone who can be easily convinced to do a reality show, but theyre doing their best to get him to sign on the dotted line.
Kirstie Alley
Celebrity Big Brother could be about to play host to Hollywood royalty, with the news that Kirstie Alley – star of Look Whos Talking and Cheers – has signed on the dotted line to take part.
Shes a Hollywood legend and has plenty of juicy stories to tell, an insider told The Sun. With the theme of retribution and stars talking about their own publicity storms, Kirstie couldnt be better suited.

Dan Osborne
The Towie star is heading on in to the house, apparently, with the news followed by a cryptic tweet from Jacqueline Jossa – later deleted – which led to speculation she wasnt too pleased by the news.
Psychic Sally
TV medium Psychic Sally Morgan, who has made a name for herself by contacting those in the afterlife and predicting the future, is reportedly set for a stint in the Elstree compound.
After years of openly stating that she would love to join the show, The Sun Online are reporting that shes now signed on the dotted line. Metro.co.uk has contacted Celebrity Big Brother and they stated that they would not comment on speculation over housemates.
Sally has been an active psychic and medium since the age of four, and has since been given her own TV shows on ITV and Sky, released and autobiography, and predicted a series of spooky things. She was also trusted by the late Princess Diana before her death in 1997.
Kieran Hayler
Katie Prices estranged husband has been mentioned in the same breath as the words Celebrity Big Brother, amid the possibility that this summers series could have a retribution theme. In January the theme did really well and now they think the idea of retribution could be a ratings winner, a source explained to The Sun. Fair enough.

Gabby Allen
The former Love Islander is also being eyed for a spot in the house – which could potentially lead to fireworks following rumours that she and Dan Osbourne became close as he reportedly battled relationship woes with Jacqueline Jossa. Not to mention all the juicy Love Island gossip we might get out of her too.
Ryan Thomas
Ryan Thomas is tipped to be the latest Corrie star to take up residence in the Elstree compound – although given hes already survived The Island With Bear Grylls CBB should potentially be a breeze.
Talulah-Eve
Transgender model Talulah-Eve had been all set to go into the house in January but reportedly pulled out at the last minute after India Willoughby signed up for the series. She was also rumoured to be taking part in 2017, so we reckon this one is long overdue – and rumour suggests it could finally happen.
Chloe Ayling
Model Chloe has been in the news lately after being kidnapped in Italy last summer – with the man she accused, Luzasz Herba, sentenced to almost 17 years in jail for the crime earlier this month. Now shes being tipped for the CBB house.
Chloe has previously said that she wouldnt do reality TV, but she is in talks to do the next series of Celebrity Big Brother, an insider told The Sun. The premise of the series is retribution and people who have been wronged, so she definitely fits the bill from that perspective.

Bobby Norris
The TOWIE star is known to be a big fan of the show, and has confirmed he has met with CBB bosses about a possible appearance – could he follow in the footsteps of his pal Gemma Collins and move into the house?
Ive watched it literally since series one day one, and Im on BOTS most series to be fair and I think Id quite fancy the challenge of doing it, because Im such a fan of the show, he told The Sun. Frankly were quite surprised he hasnt done it already.
Charlotte Dawson
The Ex On The Beach star is being considered a good bet to enter the house when the series returns, following the popularity of her reality show co-star Jess Impiazzi in the last series. We could totally see this one happening.
Jonathan Van Ness
Yasssss indeed – Queer Eyes flamboyant grooming expert is indeed being tipped for a spot on Celebrity Big Brother, and we are so on board with this idea.
Bosses know what a hit Queer Eye has become and everyones obsessed with Jonathan, an insider revealed.
The show has become an international success and Jonathan would make amazing TV for the show.
Paul Cattermole
Former S Club 7-er Paul has emerged as a potential candidate for the house after admitting he was a) broke and b) had been turned down for Im A Celebrity – not that hes had the best things ot say about the show. When you look at some of the people they put in, it really is extended friends of famous people. Cousins of friends, he previously pointed out. Ouch.
Sinitta
Sinittas such a regular fixture on TV youd have thought by now shed have done Celebrity Big Brother – but she hasnt, despite coming close last year and dropping out amid reports that shed made some pretty stringent demands on producers (tequila and a visit from her puppy among them). However those rumours that shes being lined up for the house just wont go away – so could this finally be the year?
Chuckle Brothers
Celebrity Big Brother is known for bringing comedy legends to the party – and Paul and Barry have been tipped to be the latest comic duo to join in the fun in the house.
Barry has previously confirmed the pair have had talks about taking part but that nothing ever came of it, adding: I think they thought we werent nasty enough.
However Paul has admitted theyre game, saying: Maybe one day well give it a go. It would be fun, as long as theyve got whisky in there and not just beer and wine.
Georgia May Foote
The former Corrie actress was a big hit when she appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2015, making it all the way to the final – could a spot on Celebrity Big Brother follow? Bosses are reportedly keen to sign her up.
Brendan Cole
And speaking of ex-Strictly people, Brendans also being considered for a spot in the house following his abrupt exit from Strictly earlier this year. Were sure hed have no short of gossip to spill from the ballroom if he did take part.
