Speaking about the launch of Celebrity Big Brother this coming January, the show's host Emma Willis has suggested that the casting for the show is always "the best thing", and teased a "stellar" lineup for the series.

"It's always got a cast that the people behind the show know will make magic on screen. It's always done so well. There's a lot that goes into the thought process of how these characters are all going to work together."

She went on to admit that she has had a sneaky look at the list of castmembers taking part in January, after usually remaining "very blind to it all right up until the last minute".

"This is going to be one of the best ever series of the show. I have such high hopes for the series - that's how good I think it's going to be. You won't not recognise anybody if it stays like this. This year seems like a proper stellar cast and that's always great to watch."

Emma described the Hollywood stars who take part as "quite naive to it all", claiming that "On the whole, they don't have a clue about what's going to happen to them."

Her dream housemates would be Lindsay Lohan, Tom Cruise and Paul O'Grady, and she noted she's excited about the twisted fairytale theme set for this series.

"It's got me very excited. I'd describe it as a dark fairytale theme.

"My favourite movie of late is Maleficent and it's totally like that. Angelina Jolie is amazing in it. I've seen all these visuals and it literally looks like my favourite movie."

Celebrity Big Brother returns to Channel 5 in January.
