Former Celtic and Scotland football star Frank McAvennie has revealed he's being lined up to star in Celebrity Big Brother 3. He told the Scottish Daily Record "I'm in talks but haven't signed any contracts yet. I would be interested in doing it. All those cameras wouldn't bother me."
The Tyneside-based star showed an interest in Reality TV recently when he defended BB5's Michelle Bass after accusations that she shamed Newcastle girls with her sexy antics.
As well as McAvennie, former Leeds footballer and wife of actress Leslie Ash - Lee Chapman, axed Chelsea star Adrian Mutu, and controversial Coventry goalie turned new age guru and one time Son of God David Icke are believed to be in the running. All former soccer stars' private lives have attracted tabloid attention in the past.
Meanwhile, glamour model Victoria Silvstedt and busty showbiz kiss-and-tell girl Alicia Douvall are believed to have been approached to star in the show by producers. Partner of England football boss Sven Goran Eriksson, Nancy Dell'Olio, is also said to be in talks.
But as a contrast, feminist writer and broadcaster Germaine Greer could appear on the show to spice things up. Greer recently joked on BBC's Newsnight Review that she would take part in the show if Endemol couldn't afford Dell'Olio but has also stated that she doubts the makers of Big Brother could cough up enough cash for her to take part.
