Strictly Come Dancing favourite James Jordan is set to appear in the Celebrity Big Brother house tomorrow after being dumped by the BBC.
Jordan was sacked amid reports he had clashed with judge Craig Revel Horwood, and rumours BBC execs thought he and wife Ola, 31, dominated the show.
Now 36-year-old James, who appeared in eight Strictly series from 2006, has signed up for the popular Channel Five reality show.
And it looks like his other housemates could include Coronation Street's Michael Le Vell, TOWIE's Lauren Goodger and Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee.
A source said: "James is very excited to be joining such a booming show.
"Viewers of Strictly know he is a strong character, so don't expect him to pull any punches with housemates."
Sex change boxing promoter Kellie Maloney - formerly known as Frank - is one of the headline names to sign up to this year's Celebrity Big Brother.
As revealed exclusively in today's Sunday People, the 61-year-old's fee is believed to be around £400,000.
But show producers believe the eye-watering figure is justified and believe she can make this year’s CBB series the most-watched ever.
