Celebrity Big Brother chair undergoes dramatic makeover in first look ahead of new series

Celebrity Big Brother, hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best, will see a new cast of famous faces sit on the iconic Diary Room chair when the new series kicks off on April 7

Celebrity Big Brother bosses have released the first look at the new Diary Room chair ahead of the 2025 series. The brand-new series is just days away as a whole new set of housemates gear up to enter the iconic Big Brother house.

Ahead of the debut episode on Monday, April 7, the first look at the new diary chair has been unveiled - and it appears as though bosses have given the same chair from last year a bit of a makeover.

The rainbow-coloured iconic piece of furniture has a unique 'paint-dripping' feature and is full of every colour under the rainbow. If that wasn't enough, there's an added element to the piece as the paint creates a huge puddle on the floor.

The iconic chair has also been given a makeover with the addiction of gold glittery stars on the top to match the soft velvet cushion. This year's celebrities will be able to find their moments of peace and relaxation when they sit on the iconic Celebrity Big Brother chair while ranting about their fellow housemates, or airing their grievances about the many different tasks and challenges they have to undergo.

Currently, rumoured names for the iconic show include EastEnders' Patsy Palmer, Coronation Street's Jack P. Shepherd and TV host Trisha Goddard. Also on the rumoured line up is Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa – who's seemingly confirmed her stint in the house after touching down in the UK.

Recently, JoJo was spotted at Gatwick Airport with a huge grin on her face in a picture circulating X, formerly known as Twitter. The 21-year-old could be seen walking through arrivals wearing a matching grey and blue tracksuit as she pushed along a big yellow suitcase.

Previously speaking about her rumoured stint on the show, a source told The Sun. "JoJo is a big name among the highly-coveted younger audience and brings with her a big US fan base. She’s one of those names that regular ITV viewers might not know - but certainly will do by the end of the ITV series. Everyone is excited and hope to get the deal over the line."

Other rumoured names for the upcoming series include Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke, pop star Chesney Hawkes, actress Donna Preston, Love Island star Chris Hughes, former Olympian Daley Thompson, TOWIE star, Ella Rae Wise, TV presenter Angellica Bell, Former Conservative politician Michael Fabricant and Danny Beard who is the former winner of Ru Paul's Drag Race UK.

Celebrity Big Brother returns on Monday at 9pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player. It will be followed by companion show Late & Live on ITV2 and ITVX from 10.30pm.
