Scots sex-swap soldier set for Big Brother

SCOTS sex-swap soldier is being lined up to star in Big Brother 9 this summer.

And former paratroop captain Jan Hamilton, 43, has also been asked to fly to the jungle for I'm A Celebrity.. Get Me Out of Here.

Jan, once known as Ian, will meet TV producers this week for talks to clinch the deals.

A source said last night: "TV bosses are dying to get Jan to sign on the dotted line.

"There is a huge public interest in her and she would make compulsive TV viewing."

Jan, from Aberdeen, returned from Thailand last month where she had final sex change surgery.

It has taken five months for a gruelling full sex change operation - where surgeons have given her a female face and breasts. She is the first officer in the Army to complete gender reassignment.

Last night, Jan confirmed she has been approached to star in two TV shows, but refused to give details. She said: "I can't say too much. I have a couple of meetings lined up but really that's all I can say now."

However, a source said: "Jan's representative has been approached by bosses from Channel 4about starring in Big Brother.

"It's early stages so nothing has been ruled out yet.

"Channel 4 definitely need some interesting characters to boost Big Brother ratings. Producers from ITV show I'm A Celebrity are also keen to get Jan on board.

"She would be perfect. I mean she's a girly now but is jungle trained from her time in the Army.

"Mind you, I don't know how she would cope with eating eye-balls.

"Jan's really excited about the TV offers flooding in."
