Janice Dickinson For 'Celebrity Big Brother'? Supermodel 'To Earn £300,000' For 'CBB' Stint

'CBB' Shell Out For Janice Dickinson?

Janice Dickinson has become the first famous name to be linked with a spot in the next series of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.

‘CBB’ will be returning to our screens this summer, following this January’s explosive series which was undeniably one of the most jaw-dropping ever.

Clearly producers are hoping to replicate that later this year, with The Sun reporting that Channel 5 have shelled out £300,000 in order to get the notoriously sharp-tongued supermodel in the house.

And there’s us thinking they’d be roping in Christine Bleakley and Sam Bailey for a series that would largely revolve around drinking cups of tea and having polite discussions about knitting patterns.

Obviously not.

Janice, of course, is no stranger to reality TV, having previously appeared on ‘I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here’ in two separate countries, as well as ‘The Surreal Life’, ‘Celebrity Rehab’ and her own series ‘The Janice Dickinson Modelling Agency’.

During her stint on ‘I’m A Celeb’, Janice was chosen by the public for a record number of Bushtucker Trials, completing 10 in total.

She also acted as a judge on the first four seasons of ‘America’s Next Top Model’.

This year’s bunch of housemates will have some pretty big shoes to fill after the eventful series we had last January, which saw the shock arrival of Katie Price, a long-standing feud between Perez Hilton and Katie Hopkins - not to mention not one but two contestants being removed by producers over their “unacceptable behaviour”.

It was confirmed earlier this month that Channel 5 had signed up ‘Big Brother’ for another three years, which would include two series of ‘CBB’ a year.

Mark even appeared to have forgotten that he'd done 'CBB' himself, when - shortly after Take That's comeback - they said they were pleased none of them had done reality telly in their break.So that wasn't you winning 'Celebrity Big Brother' in 2002, then, Mark? (credit:Rex/Philip Toscano)

Feminist commentator Germaine Greer lasted just five days in the 'CBB' house before walking, following the arrival of her housemate, Brigitte Nielsen's mother in law, Jackie Stallone.Why anyone would pass up the opportunity to spend any time with Jackie is beyond us, but we're sure Germaine had her reasons.

He may be a big character, but H's stint in the house in 2007 was somewhat overshadowed by the racism controversy that surrounded the series that year.Apparently, being a 'Celebrity Big Brother' housemate also made H forget how to do his shirt up properly too. (credit:Rex/David Fisher)

Everyone remembers George Galloway's appearance on 'CBB' - largely thanks to one spandex suit, and one unforgettable cat impression - but he isn't the only Scottish politician to have been in the house. (credit:Rex)

She may be now known as a co-presenter on the 'Great British Bake Off', but one of Sue's lesser known accolades is her stint in the 'CBB' house back in 2002, when apparently camouflage-print cargo trousers were all the rage... (credit:Andy Butterton/PA Archive)
Martin Kemp(06 of10)

He started off the series as the favourite to win, but ultimately the former 'EastEnders' actor and Spandau Ballet guitarist's time in the 'CBB' house was surprisingly uneventful, and he finished in third place behind Colleen Nolan and Julian Clary. (credit:Ian West/PA Archive)

Hardman actor and ex-footballer Vinnie Jones spent four weeks shacked up in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house with Stephanie Beacham, 'The Thong Song' singer Sisqo and Alex Reid - a far cry from his A-list life on set with Ian McKellen, Brad Pitt and Halle Berry. (credit:Rex/Channel 4)

The highlight of Ivana's time in the house was when she'd been convinced as part of a task that she'd won a sought-after European award, only for her housemates to drink water out of it and, eventually, smash it. She also donned some questionable flesh-coloured underwear as part of a life drawing task. (credit:Rex/Channel 4)

He might prefer not to mention it now, but Jack Dee was the first ever winner of 'Celebrity Big Brother' back in 2001. The whole series might have only lasted eight days - a walk in the park compared to latter day runs - but even that was too much for Jack, who at one point famously tried to tunnel his way out of the house.
