'Jockey Frankie Dettori could be one of next year’s Celebrity Big Brother 2013 housemates.

The 41-year-old has been banned from racing until May after testing positive for a banned *substance back in September.

It certainly means he’s got the time on his hands, and the Daily Star claim the sportsman is a “dead cert” for Celeb Big Brother.

A source told the newspaper: “Frankie has all but signed on the dotted line for a reality TV show.

“He knows his image is in dire need of a boost and that, combined with his reputation as the *housewives’ favourite, make it a no-brainer.

“Frankie knows he’s fallen off the wagon big-time but he’s keen to show the world that although he’s done wrong he’s still an all-round nice bloke.”

Bookies are already offering odds on Frankie to win the show, at a 3-1 punt.

Coral spokesman David Stevens said: “In the last 24 hours we have seen a run of bets, forcing us to suspend betting.

“Given the timing of his suspension, Celebrity Big Brother in the New Year would look the most likely option.

“We make him 3-1 favourite to win it.”

Other stars rumoured to be taking part in next year’s show include Katie Price, ‘Bat Out Of Hell’ singer Meat Loaf and former MP John Prescott.
