Kerry Katona tells new what life in the Celebrity Big Brotherhouse is really like, what she thinks about the rumoured line-up and why Katie Price isn’t going in without her

Returning to our screens this week for the first time in six years, Celebrity Big Brother is guaranteed to bring four weeks of non-stop entertainment. And, if previous instalments are anything to go by, we can expect some messy drama, potential romance, and a fascinating insight into the lives of some of our favourite celebrities.
One person who knows all too well what the famous house is like is Kerry Katona, who appeared on the show in 2011 and bagged second place, trailing closely behind Paddy Doherty.
From romances and close bonds to personality clashes and nominations, the former Atomic Kitten star, 43, held nothing back during her time on the reality show, adding that it was “one of those magical moments” in her life that she’ll never forget.
As our celebs get settled in on ITV’s rebooted series, Kerry exclusively tells
new what it’s really like to be a housemate, what the toughest parts are and whether she’d ever give it another crack…
Hi Kerry, have you been looking forward to the new series of Celebrity Big Brother?
Oh my God, I couldn’t wait! I’m 100% watching it all, it’s so good to have it back. I’m really excited to see what it’s like this time around. I loved last year’s regular Big Brother and think ITV has done a really good job with it.
What do you think of the rumoured line-up?
If the rumours are true (we’ll know by the time you read this!), then they’ve got some big names. I’ve seen Fern Britton is one, and she will 100% speak her mind if that’s true. Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne have both been rumoured too. It’d be nice to see them have a little reunion because they know each other from The X Factor. I’ve even seen Phillip Schofield on some lists!
I think there will definitely be controversial moments and people will clash in the house, especially if Fern is going in. She and Phil would surely butt heads if they’re both in there, since they famously don’t get on – I think we’d all want to see that! I saw Katie Price was on one rumoured list and I’ll tell you what, if she’s going in, then I’m coming with her!
Ha! Would you go back?
Absolutely, in a heartbeat. I think doing it again would be really different because it’s a new mix of people and you’r
