Angellica Bell, a well-known TV presenter, has faced a significant setback just hours before entering the Celebrity Big Brother house. The 49-year-old, who gained fame through her work on CBBC and BBC's The One Show, was reported to be part of the latest series lineup alongside other notable contestants such as talk show host Trisha Goddard, Love Island's Chris Hughes, Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke, and TOWIE's Ella Rae Wise.
However, predictions from the AceOdds.com Supercomputer have suggested that Angellica is likely to be the first contestant evicted from the show. This supercomputer, which has a track record of accurate predictions—including last year's winner Danny Jones from King of the Jungle and Coronation Street's Sam Aston's recent success on Dancing on Ice—has analyzed the profiles of 23 previous Celebrity Big Brother winners. Its findings indicate that the ideal champion is typically a 38-year-old English male TV personality, while the first housemate to be evicted is usually a woman around 44 years old.
Despite not fitting the mold of a model, Angellica does align with the trend of female contestants in their 40s who have been eliminated early, joining the ranks of past participants like Jackiey Budden, Cheryl Fergison, and Sally Bercow. As for Chris Hughes, he is predicted to take home the crown, which would place him among an exclusive club of reality TV champions, following in the footsteps of previous winners such as David Potts and Charlotte Crosby.
Adding to the competitive atmosphere, former MP Sir Michael Fabricant is also rumored to be joining the show, aiming not only to avoid the first public vote but also to become the first Member of Parliament to win the competition. Meanwhile, Olympic icon Daley Thompson is hoping to prove that his endurance extends beyond sports, as he seeks to become only the second sports personality to win the show, following Alex Reid.
A spokesperson for the supercomputer stated, "Our Supercomputer has crunched the numbers, and it turns out Big Brother has a type fit for the Love Island villa – English, male and famous for yapping on TV. And the results are clear – Chris Hughes is primed for victory. As for the first eviction? Our data suggests Angellica Bell could be packing her bags sooner than she'd like. If history repeats itself, Angellica will end up Big Brother's big loser," as reported by OK!
Celebrity Big Brother made its grand return on April 7, 2025, airing on ITV1, ITVX, STV, and STV Player. The show promises an exciting mix of drama and entertainment as it welcomes its new batch of celebrities.
Angellica Bell, who has been a staple on television since 2000, expressed her enthusiasm for the experience. She stated, "I like to be kept on my toes and I know Big Brother likes to throw in curveballs, but I'm also looking forward to a bit of dressing up, role-playing, and generally having a bit of fun – just being silly." Her long career includes co-presenting The Martin Lewis Show and winning Celebrity MasterChef, showcasing her versatility as a presenter.
In addition to her professional accomplishments, Angellica's personal life has also garnered attention. She is married to fellow TV presenter Michael Underwood, with whom she shares two children. The couple met while working at CBBC and tied the knot in New York City, two years after her divorce from her first husband.
Angellica's friends have expressed concern about her tendency to share too much in the Big Brother house. A source revealed, "Angellica has been warned not to 'do a Louis Walsh' and talk about her high-profile pals. She's best friends with Alan Carr, who is famously close to Adele, so she knows a lot of juicy gossip from mixing in celebrity circles for years." They hope she will remember to keep certain secrets under wraps while in the house.
As the series progresses, viewers can expect to see Angellica and her fellow housemates navigating the challenges of life in the Big Brother house. The first eviction is set to take place on April 11, 2025, raising the stakes for all contestants involved.
In a twist, the show will also feature a spin-off called Celebrity Big Brother: Late And Live, which will include commentary from last year's winner, David Potts. This addition promises to keep fans engaged and entertained as they follow the ups and downs of their favorite celebrities.
As the competition heats up, all eyes will be on Angellica Bell to see if she can defy the odds and prove the predictions wrong. With a blend of humor, charm, and a bit of luck, she might just surprise everyone and make a lasting impression in this season of Celebrity Big Brother.
