This year's regular series of Big Brother is drawing to a close - which means Celebrity Big Brother is almost upon us.

Channel 5 has confirmed when the drama kicks off. Launch night will happen on Thursday, July 28.

This is two days after civilian Big Brother's live final airs (July 26).

The most recent Celebrity Big Brother series was won by Geordie Shore star Scotty T, but it was Stephanie Davis's controversial relationship with Jeremy McConnell which dominated the run.

Stephanie has since revealed that she's expecting her first baby, and she claims that Jeremy - now her ex - is the father.

Last summer's Celebrity Big Brother had a UK vs USA theme and saw The Apprentice candidate James Hill beating his friend Austin Armacost to first place.

That series had memorable housemates such as Farrah Abraham and X Factor's Stevi Ritchie and Chloe-Jasmine Whichello.

The rumours for this summer's lineup are already flying around, with Lil Kim, Helen Flanagan, Nigel Farage, and Lady Colin Campbell mentioned.
