Fatman Scoop is the latest name who has been rumoured to be entering the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The rapper, who had a Number 1 hit with Be Faithful in 2003, is tipped to be receiving £100,000 to appear on the Channel 5 reality TV show.
An insider told The Sun: “Scoop is a larger-than-life character and bosses hope he will be in the house as well.”
The performer and MC, whose real name is Isaac Freeman, is part of the American line-up, as producers plan a UK vs USA theme for the new series, which is expected to air later this summer.
Other American celebrities such as models Janice Dickinson and Tila Tequila have also been linked to the show.
