As the Celebrity Big Brother house prepares for an influx of men tonight, The Apprentice candidate Andrew Brady is one of the rumoured faces to be joining as a new housemate.
This year the Channel 5 show celebrated 100 years since women were allowed to vote – kicking things off with an all-female line-up of eight women who entered the house on Tuesday night.
But tonight, some new faces are being sent into the fold, with rumours so far including John Barnes, Jonny Mitchell and Shane Lynch.
And because being followed by a zillion cameras every second of the day can sometimes hinder how well you get to know someone, let’s find out more about Mr Brady.
Who is Andrew Brady?
Andrew Brady, 26, found fame after last year’s series of The Apprentice.
He failed to win Lord Sugar’s investment in the BBC1 talent contest, being fired after the eighth task, but it looks like Channel 5 bosses have snapped him up for the 2018 series of CBB.
He’ll no doubt bring the party too, given he is a party bus owner.
‘Andrew made quite the impact on the show,’ a source told The Sun.’
‘Lord Sugar won’t be keeping his eye on him in the CBB house so he’ll be free to really enjoy himself.’

What do we want to see?
Whether we want to see it or not, there’s no doubt Andrew will make a beeline for the ladies when he heads inside the CBB house. After all, he famously claimed he even has a bunch of female friends in their 70s.
He also apparently got very close to The Apprentice candidate Anisa Topan while she was engaged. Anisa, who wed last year, has since denied anything happened between them.
Given that he’s on the series celebrating female empowerment, we wonder how long it will be until one of the ladies puts him in his place.
What are his social media details?

Celebrity Big Brother airs daily at 9pm on Channel 5.

ANDREW Brady tried - and failed - to win over Lord Sugar on The Apprentice last year.
But he's moved on quickly and is now heading for the CBB house, here's the lowdown on the lad who got fired in week eight in an unprecedented triple sacking.

Who is Andrew Brady and what's his background?
Andrew Brady is a 26-year-old Project Engineer from Cheshire.
He currently works in the aerospace industry and says that his best business quality is his relentless work ethic.
He cites his coal miner grandad as an inspiration as "he was the hardest worker you could ever know".
Andrew admits that he sometimes struggles to hold his tongue, especially if people are not pulling their weight - which can get him into trouble.
He believes that his confidence will see him go far in the show, and says: “I don’t blow smoke up someone’s behind. If someone deserves credit, I will give them it.”
The Sun has exclusively revealed that "ladies' man" Andrew had sex in the Apprentice pad with fellow candidate Anisa Topan, who was ten years his senior - and engaged to be married.
Rival Anisa fell for his charms and then went on to marry fiance Tristan in September after their fling, which happened during filming despite the show's sex ban.
In a cruel twist of fate, the pair were fired in the same week, along with consultant Charles Burns.
BBC Anisa and Andrew had a fling
Why did he sign up for Celebrity Big Brother 2018?
The Sun exclusively revealed how Andrew had traded the boardroom for the CBB house.
Show chiefs are hoping Andrew will spark a romance with one of the female housemates after he bedded fellow Apprentice candidate Anisa.
Their fling came despite her being engaged to another man.
A TV source said: "Andrew made quite the impact on the show and became known for his laddish behaviour after sleeping with Anisa.
"He admits to always being a bit of a playboy and that he went on the Apprentice to have a laugh."
CHANNEL 5
When did Celebrity Big Brother 2018 start and what channel is it on?
Celebrity Big Brother is on twice a year, and headed back to our screens on January 2 at 9pm on Channel 5, with a special hour-and-a-half launch show.
Spin-off Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side hosted by Rylan Clark-Neal also returned and airs after the main programme.
The show launched with an ALL-FEMALE cast of celebrities to commemorate 100 years of women have the right to vote.
CBB will show how the women interact in the house before the male celebrities also enter. The show also promises to "challenge gender stereotypes".
DAPPER Laughs, John Barnes, Andrew Brady and Shane Lynch all wore very similar suits for tonight's second live Celebrity Big Brother launch.
The lads were dressed to impress as they entered the previously all-female house but suffered every fashionistas worst nightmare as they showed up in matching check jackets.
John Barnes kicked things off with his check suit
Entering the house first, former footballer John Barnes looked smart wearing his check jacket with jeans and waistcoat.
Following shortly behind was Boyzone singer Shane Lynch who wore an eye-catching three piece check suit, in almost exactly the same blue.
Controversial comedian Dapper Laughs, real name Daniel O’Reilly, lived up to his name also wearing a dapper three piece blue suit.
And finally The Apprentice’s Andrew Brady also went for check – but in a slight variation he picked a grey one.

Those at home couldn’t help but notice the theme of the night and took to Twitter to comment on it.
One person wrote: “While are the men wearing checked suits hired from the Cosgrove Hall version of Wind Of The Willows #CBB (sic)”.
While another remarked: “Check suits are in vogue I gather #cbb.”
And someone else joked: “I’m taking bets on how many more check suits we’ll see! 🕺🏼 #CBB.”
Andrew Brady also got the memo about check

The stars entered the house tonight alongside Courtney Act, real name Shane Jenek, Jonny Mitchell and Wayne Sleep.
It seems those three didn’t get the memo though as they picked rather different looks – in particular Shane who went in full drag.
The star made quite a scene as she arrived as she suffered a serious wardrobe malfunction, which saw her skirt completely unravel.

Best known for: Battling for Lord Sugar’s investment in the latest series of the Apprentice.
Bio: Prior to his time as an Apprentice candidate, Andrew was a project engineer in the aerospace industry, and cited his coal miner granddad as an inspiration for his work ethic.
When he joined the BBC1 series, Andrew took part in a number of tasks and led Team Vitality to their first victory in Week 4, but was ultimately fired by Lord Sugar in Week 8.
Andrew was removed from the process in an unprecedented triple firing (alongside Charles Burns and Anisa Topan) partly for his unprofessional attitude in front of a client, though he later told RadioTimes.com that he hadn’t actually sworn in front of her as the final episode appeared to portray.
“I did swear, but not at the time [the editors] showed. They had the sound but they didn’t have the visual of me doing it,” he told us.
“It wasn’t in front of the client, but it looks like it was. Well, the client was there but they couldn’t hear it because I whispered it, but they put [the audio] up.”
“Charles should have gone in week one and Anisa should have gone after Bruges,” he went on.
“I was the one that didn’t deserve to go. If either of them stayed I would have kicked off! I would have run into the boardroom and smashed the place up!”

Here’s hoping Andrew gets another chance at reality TV success in CBB.
