Twice a year we get all excited over the rumoured names linked to Celebrity Big Brother, only to often have our hopes cruelly dashed upon discovering it was plain lies or said star refused the offer.
James Arthur has just revealed that although he's a fan of the Channel 5 show, he turned down a spot on the upcoming series. Which would have made compulsive viewing.
So here are 10 other celebrities who rejected the chance to enter the famous Big Brother house in Boreham Wood:
1 & 2. Christopher Biggins & Joan Collins
Christopher Biggins revealed that he turned down an offer to star in CBB along with Joan Collins - it would have been like Julian Clary and Julie Goodyear all over again, with double the glamour and bitchiness.
Biggins, who won I'm a Celebrity in 2007, claims that he was offered £300,000 to take part on the condition that he enter the house with friend Joan Collins,...

Bono's done his back in, so Gorillaz have been charged with saving Glastonbury. Rich Pelley goes head to head with Murdoc
Hi, Murdoc. Do you think Bono really slipped a disc "in rehearsals" or did The Edge land a particularly good punch during a piggyback fight?
A cover-up dreamt up for damage-limitation purposes by a well-oiled press machine? Maybe. Maybe he's been detained in a Mongolian jail for playing a strenuous public game of Twister with a couple of greased-up goats. Either way, I wish him a speedy recovery.
Bono wears sunglasses all the time. When he goes on holiday, does he have to wear two pairs?
Er, right. Are these the kind of questions you normally ask people (1)? Yes, he wears two pairs of glasses. The Edge wears two cowboy hats for sun protection. And Larry takes two drumkits into the shower.
Glastonbury is ideal for lining up special guests.

Susan Boyle's sister has reportedly rowed with The Krankies about one of their comedy sketches. According to Janette Tough, 62, who performs as Wee Jimmy Krankie, one of Boyle's siblings was upset when she pretended to be the Britain's Got Talent star on stage. Tough performed the skit, which involved her wearing a fat suit and pretending to have Boyle's pet cat Pebbles, with her husband Ian in Wolverhampton. "Afterwards, I got a letter from Susan's sister. It said there had been enough of this mickey-taking of her sister and that it was disgusting," she told the Daily Record. "It said the trouble Susan had come across when she went to school was enough in her life. "I wanted to write back and (more)...

The announcement of David Tennant’s withdrawal from Doctor Who overshadowed his win for Outstanding Drama Performance at the National Television Awards this past week. He beat out costar Catherine Tate although the series won the Most Popular Drama award.
Tate, who collected the Drama series award alongside Executive Producer Russell T. Davies, said "I know it's won the award for the last three years, but I was sweating that we wouldn't the year I joined!"
Meantime, the UK press has been in overdrive handicapping who might be the next Doctor, a game ComicMix indulged in not that long back. Tennant himself joined in the fun saying, "I’ve always been a big supporter of Wee Jimmy Krankie and I, you know, if it wasn’t me it was gonna be him, her, him. So the campaign starts here for me, to get wee Jimmy Krankie in the Tardis and...
