‘Celebrity Big Brother’ Season 2: Get to Know the All-Star Cast

CBS unveiled the line-up for Celebrity Big Brother Season 2 on Sunday, including a mix of star athletes, actors and a former Trump Administration official.

Like last season, 12 celebrities will compete to be the last remaining houseguests. Season 1 aired in February 2018, ending with Tony-winning actress Marissa Jaret Winkour winning and TV host Ross Mathews winning Favorite Celebrity Houseguest. CBS’ big win was getting Omarosa Manigault, a former reality TV star who served as a White House aide to President Donald Trump briefly and made headlines each time she shared White House gossip.

Season 2 will feature Anthony Scaramucci, who infamously served as White House Director of Communications for 10 days in July 2017. Other controversial figures this season include Lindsay Lohan’s mother Dina Lohan and former Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte.
