Former footballer Jermaine Pennant has teased joining Celebrity Big Brother, ahead of the new series of the Channel 5 reality show starting soon.

Speaking to Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard on Good Morning Britain, the 35-year-old also opened up about his troubled upbringing and former party lifestyle.

On the topic of him entering CBB, he said: "They're just probably rumours, there may be rumours."

Asked if he'd like to do more TV work, Jermaine added: "I enjoy television, so if the opportunity does arise it's something I wouldn't shy away from."

The new show is set to be themed around the 'Eye of the Storm' featuring people that have been at the centre of various scandals, so Jermaine would certainly fit that remit.

Do they usually have celebs do interviews this close to the show? i dont remember anyone else being interviewed days before entering

He's just had a new book released in the last few days so he wouldn't be too happy if they stopped him promoting it

Yeah they usually do have interviews before the show. They go into hiding 2/3 days before launch, depending on where they are in the world etc. But he seems confirmed now after that surely?

[JoshBB]

'probably' rumours seems like he's going in.
