Austin Armacost is returning to ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The 28-year-old model is excited to be returning to the famous house for the upcoming ‘Gold Stars vs All Stars’ series in January, and is only disappointed his friend James Hill – who won the show when they competed in summer 2015 – won’t be taking part too.
A source told The Sun: "Austin can’t wait to enter the ‘Big Brother’ house again.
"He really enjoyed his time in there and is looking forward to the new challenge.
"He’s just gutted that James Hill won’t be joining him."
A number of past housemates are expected to return for the new series, but one person who won’t be is controversial blogger Perez Hilton, after Channel 5 bosses refused to double the fee he received for his first stint in January 2015.
his podcast Perez explained how he found his appearance on CBB in 2015 "traumatic" and that money was the only incentive for him.
He said on his podcast: "Yes, I have been asked to do it and I told them I would do it if the price was right.
"And the price was not right, OK! It was way off.
"I wanted to get paid double and I think I’m worth it.
"I am the most talked about housemate in the history of ‘Big Brother’.
"Statistics show that. I was on the most popular season in like seven or eight years."
Meanwhile, show bosses have released a teaser for one of the new housemates.
The mystery male star said in the clip: "I was fortunate enough to be part of the biggest music revolution that’s ever happened.
"I like to think of myself as a bit of an all-rounder. Jack of all trades. Master of none."
Fans have been speculating it is rapper Fatman Scoop – who appeared in the same series as Austin and James – as he is currently in the UK.
