Evander Holyfield - Celebrity BB Line-up Rumour

19 Dec, 2013 - 9:00 PM by James

The Sun is reporting that former heavyweight boxer Evander Holyfield will be entering the Celebrity Big Brother house in January. The Sun 'source' speaks: ‘Evander is a legend and a huge character. He will be great in the show.’ ‘We expect him to really pack a punch. He should stir things up and he won’t take any nonsense from some of the younger stars. ‘It will be interesting to see how they react to him – and what tips he gives them on working out.’ It is reported Evander would earn a six-figure sum for his time in the house. The producers of the show are said to have approached Holyfield's former rival Mike Tyson in 2011 to appear on Celeb BB.

Interesting signing. I guess they won't need David Hayes then.

If so then Dappy is still going in, he was mentioned in Evander Holyfield's rumoured article. Quote: In the house he will join Dappy, Lee Ryan & Sam Faiers.

I saw him this year, he was at the KC stadium parading before a Hull FC game, he was there doing something for some charity.
