Neighbours' Fletcher to be on Celebrity Big Brother

'Neighbours' star Alan Fletcher is set to star in 'Celebrity Big Brother'.

The 56-year-old actor, who plays Dr. Karl Kennedy in the Australian soap, has landed a six-figure deal to appear on the next series of the Channel 5 reality show, according to The Sun newspaper.

Alan is expected to be popular with the British public because as well as his popular character in 'Neighbours', he has toured UK universities on several occasions with his band The Waiting Room.

Alan's 'Neighbours' co-star Ryan Moloney, who plays Toadfish in the soap, was in the show last year and proved popular with viewers by finishing third behind reality TV couple Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, and winner Rylan Clark, who now co-hosts 'Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side' alongside Emma Willis.

Alan is set to be joined by the likes of boxing heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, N-Dubz rapper Dappy, 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Sam Faiers and comic Jim Davidson in the 'CBB' house when the new series kicks off on January 3, 2014.

Oh no, don't tell me toadies set the ball rolling for all the neighbours cast to end up being housemates.

[Black Dagger]

He can't be any worse than Ryan I suppose.

I bet the hotel inspector woman isn't far off from a stint.

[Josiah.]

He won't be too bad, I've got a feeling he's going to do as good as Ryan did.
(I'm waiting until they do what they did in CBB8 and keep the celebrity HM line-up a secret.)

He's doing panto up until the 5th Jan so unless he's on day release could kinda rule him out, Knowing C5 they would allow him out.

Everyone rumoured so far has been offered a "six figure sum"

It sounds cynical but I wouldn't be surprised if that's one of the reasons we don't have live feed for this series.

I've got no issue with Neighbours people going in, at least they are celebrities. - I don't watch it and would prefer to see some Home and Away people in it (not that I watch that any more, but I may at least know some of the people in it)

[Kate!]

I think he'd be a good housemate.

[sampvt]

I think he would be a great HM. He is a little older and has at least half a brain.

He was in England on TV a few months ago (cant remember what).. seemed like a cool guy

[zakman440]

I agree Alan will be a great housemate on CBB. If he goes on CBB hope he wins

Would of been brilliant too if Jackie Woodburne who plays Susan Kennedy went on CBB
