Troubled reality TV star Kerry Katona may have landed a “massive” deal to appear in the new series of Celebrity Big Brother.

Sources close to the former Atomic Kitten told a Sunday newspaper that Kerry will be paid £250,000 to enter in the iconic Big Brother house.

The legendary reality TV show is returning to our screens on Channel 5 later this autumn and BB bosses are keen to secure some top names.

An insider told The People that Kerry allegedly signed a contract with show bosses on the condition that she was paid enough money to clear off her debts.

The source told the newspaper: “She is totally up for Big Brother, she can’t believe her luck.

“This has come at the right time as the money will get her out of a deep hole.

“She’s so skint she cant even get a contract for a mobile phone.”

The insider revealed that Big Brother bosses will make Kerry take a test to ensure that she is not on drugs.

They added: “She’s sorted her life out now. She might be broke, but she’s got her head straight. The tests should be no problem.”
