'Celebrity Big Brother': Writer Julie Burchill 'Offered £300k To Appear On The Show'

'CBB': Julie Burchill To Sign Up?

Julie Burchill is the latest name rumoured to be taking part in the upcoming series of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, although she may have already ruined her chances of entering the house by spilling the beans on the details of Channel 5 bosses’ offer.

Julie, a controversial columnist who has written for newspapers including The Guardian and The Sunday Times, has told a number of people about the offer, apparently hoping to find out how much cash journalist Liz Jones scored for her stint in the house earlier this year, according to The Sun.

Julie’s journalism career has often been surrounded by controversy and was once threatened with legal action by George Galloway.

The model rubbished reports that Kieran was in negotiations to sign up earlier this year, stating: “He’s a builder, not a celebrity.”

Whoever does appear on the show has big shoes to fill, as the previous season of ‘CBB’ was explosive, to say the least.

The January series was TV gold, seriously - who can forget Lionel Blair in that latex costume? If you have any idea how to get the image out of your head, please let us know.
