Stephen Bear It wouldn’t be an ‘All Stars' show without the leading champion. Stephen ‘Bear’ Bear shockingly beat off competition from his housemates last year after a month of some very controversial antics.

Big Brother bosses are yet to confirm the line-up for the new series but if the rumours are anything to go by it's set to be an incredible series to mark the 20th anniversary.

If previous years are anything to go by, the new celebrity addition of the show will hit our TV screens in January, a perfect way to start the new year.
