Quote:

Rocker Justin Hawkins is set to join 'Celebrity Big Brother'.

The singer, who quit The Darkness two months after being treated for drug addiction, is being chased by Channel 4 bosses for the reality show.

A source revealed: "We think Justin will be a great housemate and we are desperate to get him to sign up. He is outrageous and flawed and stars like him have made for great viewing in the last few years - look at Michael Barrymore and Les Dennis."

Justin, 31, revealed the pressures of fame led to him spending £1,000 a week on cocaine. However, following a spell in The Priory, he is keen to return to the spotlight.

He is yet to sign, but bosses are confident they can persuade him to enter the house when the show begins on January 3.

Other celebrities tipped to appear are former 'A-Team' star Dirk Benedict, who played Face in the hit 80s show and David Hasselhoff.

Bosses have also reportedly approached Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding, TV presenter John Leslie, Bond girl Grace Jones, Whitney Houston and former Blue singer Duncan James.
