OHMYGOSSIP — Dawn Ward has pulled out of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ just one day before the show launches.
The ‘Real Housewives of Cheshire’ star was one of the famous faces set to enter the house when the show returns to screens on Tuesday (01.08.17) but she has reportedly decided at the last minute not to take part, throwing things into chaos as the show’s producers desperately search for someone to take her place.
A source told The Sun Online: “Dawn has decided not to take part in the show at the very last minute. She may have done reality TV in the past but she got cold feet about doing CBB. The shows bosses are desperately trying to find someone to fill her boots – which will be a hard task considering she’s such a character.”
And now Dawn isn’t participating, bosses will be even more disappointed as ‘So Macho’ singer Sinitta – who was previously linked to a possible appearance on the show – revealed she wouldn’t go into the house if Dawn was there.
She said: “I know Dawn is going into the house but thank God I am not. I did ask for 24-hour security as I have been hit once in my life and I did not want to be hit again. I just wish Dawn all the best. I won’t be watching as I will be doing other things.”
Meanwhile, Sarah Harding, Shaun Williamson and Brandi Glanville are just some of the names set to enter the house during the launch.
Made In Chelsea’s Sam Thompson and Jemma Lucy as well as Megan McKenna’s ex Jordan Davies, ‘Hollyoaks’ star Paul Danna, ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ actress Helen Lederer, TV psychic Derek Acorah and ‘X Factor’ alumni Amelia Lily are also expected to appear on the show.
