SHE hasn't even been confirmed as a contestant on the show yet, but it seems that Celebrity Big Brother bosses are already worrying about Katie Hopkins.
Channel 5 are said to have hired a "special legal team" to monitor the outspoken star - who is known for ranting about overweight people, immigrants and benefit claimants.
It comes after the mother-of-three was reported to police for "hate crimes against fat people" last week, and offensive tweets she posted aimed at Scotland after Ebola victim Pauline Cafferkey was transferred to a London hospital.
The former Apprentice star called people north of the border "sweaty little jocks" and added: "Sending us Ebola bombs in the form of sweaty Glaswegians just isn’t cricket."
So it's no surprise that the show's bosses are worried that she could break the law with another one of her controversial rants.
"Katie is sure to be a hit with Big Brother fans on the show," an insider told the Daily Star.
"But she’s also made a name for herself by crossing the line with some of her rants and BB bosses want to make sure she doesn’t go too far."
Katie has apparently been offered a fee in excess of £400,000 to appear on the 2015 series of Celebrity Big Brother, which launches on Wednesday.
