The housemates taking part in Celebrity Big Brother have been teased on the Channel 5 show’s official Instagram account, hours ahead of the live launch show.

Body parts and close-up shots of parts of the stars’ clothing have been revealed, one by one, with a number of famous contestants hinted at.

An a couple of ears, a pair of lips, a pin-striped suit with a pocket square and a tattooed wrist are among the sneaky pictures shared on the social media site.

Some may be more obvious than others – rumoured housemate Christopher Biggins is believed to be the owner of the ear with a straw hat – but others have left fans in the dark.

While the reality TV show always keeps its celebrity housemates under wraps until they enter the north London home during the live broadcast, the line-up was reportedly leaked earlier this week.

Among the names included were 80s pop star Sam Fox, Anthea Turner’s ex-husband Grant Bovey, Mob Wives star Renee Graziano, Geordie Shore regular Marnie Simpson and ex-TOWIE hunk Lewis Bloor.

Following the cryptic Instagram reveal, fans have also guessed that EastEnders actor Ricky Norwood, who plays Arthur ‘Fatboy’ Chubb on the soap, is one of the stars thanks to a shot of what appears to be his lower face.

Do you recognise any of this lot?
