With a line-up filled with Love Island, Coronation Street and The Chase stars, it’s definitely going to be an explosive series.

“More important, she can sing.”
They added: “Simon Cowell has handled many divas over the years with the likes of Sharon Osbourne and Mel B, so we reckon he will be able to deal with this Essex one.”
The celebrity series is likely to stun fans as they see a different side to their favourite stars.
