Coming this January, CBB is bringing you some of the brightest stars from past series as well as some new famous faces to battle it out to become the Ultimate Celebrity Housemate.
There’s been many loud voices in Celebrity Big Brother over the years and in 2017 Channel 5 are bring back some of the more explosive of those personalities, named the All Stars, to battle it out once more to the end with some new faces titled New Stars.
Looking back through the CBB series we wonder who will be reunited together in the new colourful pop art designed house. Will the powerful forces of ‘I know this will offend you Katie Hopkins‘ and the ‘24 hour Perez Hilton show‘ be brought back together to battle wits again?
Or, maybe Ken Morley and Biggins will be back, and hopefully not get booted for unacceptable behaviour this time?
Maybe Renee will re-enter to finally hunt down some Bear? Of course, we’re hoping for one great big gay CBB house with the delights of Julian Clary, Louie Spence, Leslie Jordan and Austin Armacost.
We’ll of course, keep you updated as soon as news is revealed on CBB 2017. One thing for sure is this is going to be a series you won’t want to miss as they battle it out for Ultimate Celebrity Housemate.

My doesn’t 12 months fly by. It seems only yesterday I was unleashed from the tinsel box to edit last year’s festive issue, and now here I am again listening to Radio Christmas for 16 hours a day while it’s still 15 degrees outside, and wondering if I’ll ever see another Christmas in London, post-Brexit, when I’m deported back up north to the Wirral where it’s traditional on a Christmas Eve to get lashed in the local till “lasties” then head to church for the midnight carol service, because that’s the only place still serving sweet wine. I still ponder to this day where they buy it from as I’ve searched supermarkets and websites alike for ‘Blood O’ Christ’ Malbec with little success.
But panic not, we’re still part of the European Union (for two years), Obama is still President of the United States (for two months), and I’ve been sober whilst cobbling this rosie nosed Rudolph of an issue together (for two minutes). We took X Factor’s Danyl Johnson down to the woods for our winter shoot, which he totally sleighed… Michelle Visage popped in for a mince pie and to show off her Christmas Puddings… Gogglebox’s Chris Steed wrote us a letter to tell us he’s been a good boy this year and for Christmas, he wants to lick Theresa May. Oh, and we get deep into the stockings of Big Brother’s Sam Giffen to find his nuts but instead get a handful of Tina Turner, Whitney Houston and ten burgers.
If you’ve been wondering, “just what on Earth do I buy those lovely boys at THEGAYUK this Christmas, to thank them for all their hard work this year in providing such a fab mag and website that’s free to read (and doesn’t cost you the same as a Christmas Lunch, like some other publications do…)” Well, if you were thinking that, then the team have searched the nation’s high streets, sat on every Santa’s lap (in fact some didn’t come back for weeks) and called every elf hotline to bring you the biggest and brightest 2016 TGUK Gift Guide to suit every budget.
We’ve some winter treats from Jordan’s new book, Food For Friends, and a scrummy eggnog recipe from one of London’s hottest mixologists Alex Fakinos. As well as our usual favs the dilemma page – Am I good enough for my two boyfriends, sex health – Am I big enough? and Aunty’s in a rather festive mood… or pissed more likely!
So from myself and all the team at THEGAYUK including our fabulous contributors from all over the UK and Monty our photographer who gives so much… (If you believe his Growlr profile!) We wish you all a very fabulous festive season and may 2017 be positive, considerate, funny, enjoyable, emotional, warming… and not be the complete political and social f*** up being forecast!
The UK’s bitchiest agony aunt answers your questions. This week she has ever eyes fixed on a smoothie maker.

Dear Aunty,
Is it good to have too much fruit juice or smoothies? Some sites say good and others bad. Very confused and feeling unhealthy.
Ken, Manchester
Dear Ken, I know I’m an advice column but I ain’t Dr bleedin’ Christian! Though, I have heard there’s a lot of sugar in fruit. Which is why I like to take a healthy dose of veg to the body instead.
It’s renewed my physical energy levels. Experiment with all the wonderful shapes and sizes of veg out there and you’ll soon be living a much more fulfilled life, though I can’t guarantee it’ll be healthy or wholesome!
It’s National Coming Out Day and we have found a couple of new films to celebrate.
(c) The G-Word
The first, The G-Word, is a two and a half minute short comedy looking at the difficulty there can be in coming-out to the parents and unexpected consequences that can arise from it. Written and performed by Carl Loughlin, this is certainly a short that has potential to be made into a running web series.
The second feature film, Coming Out by a young NYC film maker Alden Peters, documents his own coming-out experiences as he captures the full conversations with friends, family and society. This often private moment in a person’s life is laid bare to show the various reactions from the painfully awkward to the hilariously honest. Out now on DVD and VOD.
