Get ready, because the Cheeky Girls may be planning one epic comeback.

Celebrity Big Brother final voting figures show it was a two-horse race all along

Yep, the Romanian duo, Gabriela and Monica Irimia, who found fame in the early Noughties have told Metro.co.uk that they are ‘very flattered that the press and the organisers’ are thinking of them for the summer season.

Reports claimed that the two were planning to sign on to the summer series of Celebrity Big Brother, with a source close to the two suggesting that there ‘is massive interest in the girls and they know how much the nation love them’.

Although the theme of the show is still under wraps many are suggesting that the series will focus on pairs who enter the house as one contestant; Spencer and Heidi Pratt and Jedward both did this in the January season, making the summer series an ideal time for the girls to enter the most famous house in the world.

‘Show bosses think this could be the best year yet and the pairs theme is already shaping up nicely,’ the insider added, speaking to The Sun.



‘Gabriela and Monica have never done Big Brother — they’ve been waiting for the right moment.’

However, Monica, 34, told Metro.co.uk that at the moment they are not looking to add any drama to their lives.

‘Moni is right, [the show is] too much stress and drama… we don’t need any of that,’ added her twin Gabriela.

Channel 5 would not comment on the story.

The girls auditioned in 2002 for Popstar: The Rivals and went on to have four top 10 hits between 2002 and 2004, including The Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum).

If they entered the house, they may find themselves going up against the Peru Two, who are reportedly making a bid for fame via the Channel 5 show.

Drug mule mates Michaella McCollum and Melissa Reid, both 24, admitted trying to smuggle 24lb (11kg) of cocaine worth £1.5 million out of Peru in 2013; their sentence of six years and eight months was cut short thanks to a deal with authorities.

A source told The Sun of Michaella’s dreams, admitting she had made no secret of her hopes of becoming famous: ‘[Michaella’s] accomplice Melissa is less excited by the whole showbiz world but, because of the pairs theme, producers think they would be the ideal signing.

‘[Show bosses] think the girls will help to stir up some excitement and chatter for the new series, as well as bring some glamour and drama.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for CBB and the Cheeky Girls for comment.
