Tinchy Stryder has reportedly signed up to appear on Celebrity Big Brother.

The 'Number 1' star is set to feature on the Channel 5 reality show in the New Year after bosses decided that they wanted a rapper in the house.



'Champion' star Chipmunk was also approached by bosses, according to The Sun, but 25-year-old Stryder was recruited instead.

Other stars linked to an appearance on the show include Nicola McLean, Lindsay Lohan, Natasha Giggs and X Factor contestant Frankie Cocozza.

Two teaser trailers for the show - one featuring EastEnders' Barry (Shaun Williamson) and another starring host Brian Dowling and former contestants Jedward and Amy Childs - were released last week.

It was confirmed earlier this month that Celebrity Big Brother will return on January 5, 2012
