Former glamour model Katie Price is poised to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house, it is reported.

The 36-year-old mother of five will join the latest line-up of famous housemates on Friday, the Daily Star said.

The Channel 5 series has hit the headlines this year after two contestants were kicked out of the house for their behaviour.

Former Coronation Street star Ken Morley, 72, was evicted from the show for using ''unacceptable language'' including repeated use of the word ''negro''.

And ex-Baywatch actor Jeremy Jackson, 34, was booted out after former Page Three girl Chloe Goodman claimed he drunkenly tried to look at her breasts while the pair were alone in the toilet.

Price, who married third husband Kieran Hayler in 2013, is a familiar face to reality television, having twice appeared on ITV's I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! and starred in a number of her own series about her life.

A Big Brother spokeswoman said: "We never comment on potential housemates."
