Gay Mexican wrestler Cassandro has been tipped to appear on Channel 5's first series of Big Brother.

The 41-year-old transsexual has apparently told producers "come and get me" and has claimed that he wants to "inspire" and "excite" on the reality show.

Cassandro, real name Saul Armendariz, will be visiting the UK in the summer with his group Lucha Futures, according to the Daily Star.

"I'm ready for anything," said the sports star. "I'm here to set a positive example for everyone. As a gay man who has had a hard road to be accepted in my profession, I want to inspire and excite the British public. From what I hear Big Brother is the best way to do it."

A Channel 5 production source commented: "It would certainly make unmissable viewing."

Celebrity Big Brother returns in August. The non-celeb version of the show is back in September.
