It feels like it’s been a decade since Celebrity Big Brother was on our screens, but finally the wait is over. It won’t be easy to beat last year’s series— with Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh slagging off every celebrity under the sun and Fern Britton securing her status as national treasure— but we think series 24 might just stand a chance.
This is largely due to the stellar celebrity cast of housemates, which includes comedian Donna Preston.
Here’s everything you need to know about Donna in one convenient place…
