AJ Odudu has revealed she's very excited about the Celebrity Big Brother line-up.
The star-studded list of names for this year's series has yet to be confirmed by ITV ahead of the launch on Monday, but there have been plenty of rumoured names. Former X Factor judges Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne along with ex This Morning host Fern Britton are just some of the big names that could be heading into the revamped house.
AJ will be welcoming the brand new crop of showbiz housemates along with co-host Will Best and the presenters have admitted they're just as excited as ITV viewers to find out who will be the first line-up for the rebooted reality series. "I'm excited," AJ told the Mirror ahead of Monday's launch. "If even half of the rumoured line-up is true, it's going to be great."
AJ and Will admitted ITV hadn't revealed the line-up to them ahead of Celebrity Big Brother returning to screens. The broadcaster avoided announcing the line-up prior to the launch and instead, viewers will find out the confirmed housemates one-by-one as they enter the house on Monday evening in the live episode.

Bradley Riches, who is best known for playing James McEwan in Netflix's Heartstopper, could also be named as a housemate alongside podcast host Zeze Millz, Broadway star Marisha Wallace and Levi Roots. Coronation Street star Colson Smith, who stars as lovable Craig Tinker and Kate Middleton's uncle Gary Goldsmith complete the rumoured line-up.
Meanwhile, Celebrity Big Brother has shared a sneak peak into the house, which has had a showbiz makeover in preparation for the new housemates. Mirror was invited on a sneak peak tour of the celebrity house and host Will revealed the house has undergone one huge change from last year’s reboot.
Sharing an upgrade to the bathroom, Will explained: "The shower doors have all been frosted, to give the new housemates some more privacy." Elsewhere, the house has been adorned with glitzy stars while the colourful open plan living space sets the scene for the new housemates having to do face-to-face nominations.
In true Big Brother there are plenty of double beds so the new housemates will have to get to know each other pretty quickly before buddying up for night time. Outside, the housemates can enjoy spending time together in the hot tub or perhaps enjoying a break from the main house in the glitzy seating area.
