Samantha Brick is allegedly in talks to sign a £50,000 deal to take part in the next Celebrity Big Brother.

The journalist found fame earlier this month after writing an article about the downsides of being so beautiful.

Channel 5 is hoping to capitalise on her notoriety by signing her up for Celebrity Big Brother, according to The Sun.

It is rumoured that Blue star Lee Ryan has been approached to star in the new series.

Former EastEnders actress Cheryl Fergison has apparently agreed to appear for a rumoured £175,000 fee.

Footballer Freddie Ljungberg has also been linked to the show with a source telling the Daily Star: "The man is unbelievably attractive and won't just have the girls hot under the collar.

"He's a massive gay icon so we know his male admirers will be desperate to spy on him in the house. And who wouldn't want to share a house with him?"

This year's second series of Celebrity Big Brother is to air late this summer.
