Over the weekend the tabloid papers were in a frenzy of Big Brother news, and interestingly The People printed details of what they claim are the final housemates, including two reserves... or maybe it's yet more rumours made up to sell papers.

The housemates which the paper list probably won't be the final ones - for starters the shows producers have made it clear in previous years that if any details get out before the contestants enter the house they'll just be thrown off the list and won't take part at all.

However just incase the People are correct with their list, here's who you'll get to see (twocked from other sources that reported it over the weekend) on your screen come May 28th...

Emma (19) from Manchester - "The Bisexual"
Bisexual entertainer Emma lives with her mum but has a steady boyfriend even though she boasts she likes flirting with girls. Bubbly and chatty, she loves socialising and friends say she is very much a team player.

Michelle (21) from Scotland - "The Student"
Another contestant who lives with her mother. Michelle is well educated, articulate and has spent a lot of time abroad. But once she's had a few drinks let's her inhibitions go.

Vanessa (26) from Leeds - "The Sex Kitten"
Single Vanessa has a pierced nipple and is expected to easily twist the men round her little finger.

Suzie (40) from West London - "The Stripper"
A raven-haired, married stripper who spends a great deal of time making herself look and feel good. The Catherine Zeta-Jones lookalike

Dara (24) from New York, US - "The Yank"
Dara is now based in London. A plain-speaking American, viewers will either love or hate her but she won't care.

Katherine (24) and Leanda (25) from the South East - "The Lesbians"
They are the first lesbian couple ever to appear in BB. Katherine is very politically motivated and part of the anti-capitalist movement. Attends gay pride events and joined the 50,000 protesters at the G8 political summit in Genoa, Italy, three years ago. Leanda is very friendly and easy going. Predicted to be the peacemaker in the BB house when tensions become frayed as the pressure builds up.

Stuart (24) from Manchester - "The Pin-Up"
Expected to be one of the male sex symbols of the line-up. Single and straight, he's very confident and well spoken. Takes fashion very seriously and is always well groomed.

Marco (20) from London - "The Gay"
Marco, who is single, loves a drink and revels in his campness. The student likes films and the arts and loves quoting from his favourite horror films. Can be a bit of a bookworm.

Ahmed (44) from Liverpool - "The Asylum Seeker"
Single Ahmed is a wealthy businessman and the oldest contestant vying for a place in the final 12. A former asylum seeker who has made good in Britain, he looks very much set to be the father figure to the younger house mates.

Jason (30) from Scotland - "The Stud"
An ex-Army man who is now an air steward, he looks set to be the entertainer of the house. Loves himself to bits and takes his clothes off at the slightest encouragement. He is nicknamed the Martini Man because he boasts he will do it any time, any place, anywhere.

Victor (23) from London - "The Leader"
A student, Victor likes order in his life. Straight and single, he's very much expected to try to command the group. Believes himself to be a natural leader, but will the others think so?

So what do you think of the contestants that are rumoured to be entering the house? Will it make BB5 the best series yet, and do you see a clear winner? Or is there someone in there who you feel will take an instant disliking to someone else - the asylum seeker, the lesbians, the gay, the american - post your thoughts on the House of Cuss forums...
