Anna Nicole SmithAnna Nicole SmithLast year we had gobby Brigitte, bonkers Jackie and victorious Bez, but who will go into the Celebrity Big Brother house in January 2006?

The rumours start here...

A list of likely candidates is being banded about the press and web with some confidence - and a pretty intriguing bunch they are too.

Platinum bombshell Anna Nicole Smith is said to be bringing her outrageous self to our shores to spread some raucous action in the house.

She will, of course, have to take a breather from her legal wrangles with the children of her late billionaire husband J Howard Marshall II to do her stint in the house.

Boy GeorgeBoy GeorgeBoy George also recently hit the news after being charged with cocaine possession - but TV insiders still reckon he will make it into the house.

Joining those two bold characters? According to the whispers, regimental food finger-waver Gillian McKeith will be sharing a kitchen with podgy Johnny Vegas.

Father and daughter act Jimmy and Liza Tarbuck could be getting the giggles going, alongside Three Non Blondes comedienne Jocelyn Jee Esien.

And Most Haunted Derek Acorah is used to meeting freaky things in houses across the country, so if it's true he's in BB6, he'll be well at home.

Check out our gallery of potential contestants and start the countdown to the next Celebrity Big Brother. Hoorah!
