She made quite the name for herself on Geordie Shore, so it's no surprise she's been picked to take her infectious personality into the Celebrity Big Brother house.

According to reports Marnie Simpson has signed up to take part in this year's new series of Celebrity Big Brother in the hopes that she can boost viewing figures.

The 24-year-old will be the third star of Geordie Shore to enter the infamous house. Fellow Newcastle natives and co-stars Scotty T and Charlotte Crosby previously both went on the show.

Marnie will have a tough act to follow, though, as Scotty and Charlotte were so popular with audiences that they both won the series they were on.

An insider told The Sun Online: " Scotty T and Charlotte were both fan favourites on the show and Marnie really could emulate her success. Geordie Shore members are used to being filmed drinking, rowing and even having sex so they are perfect to create explosive TV."

According to the source CBB producers are hoping that Marnie, who is currently single, can enjoy romance in the house and bring some much needed love angles to screens.

The source said: "She is a stunning girl and the producers know that it wouldn’t be hard to find a young lad who would fall for her."

There have already been stars such as Helen Flanagan, Lady C and Chloe Khan linked to a stint on the Channel 5 reality show, which kicks off two days after the standard Big Brother ends, and now more celebs have been added to the mix for the normal house.

Anthea Turner's ex-husband Grant Bovey has snapped up a six figure deal to join the house, as well as former X Factor contestant Katie Waissel . The singer who got married to model Brad Alphonso after two months of dating , got married again last year to comic Brian Moote.

A source from the show told the Star: "Katie will make for compelling viewing because she is such a character. She is bound to divide opinion just like she did on The X Factor ."

Also on the rumour round-up is footballer Olivier Giroud's ex-lover Ceclia Kay. The Arsenal striker apologised on Twitter after the alleged fling with the lingerie model when she was spotted with the footballer in a hotel room the night before a match.

Apparently Tulisa has been offered £500,000 to go in as she prepares to re-launch her career. The singer, 27, who has been working on new material since 2013, is set for a big comeback later this year and it could be more than fresh music her fans will be treated to.

A source said: " CBB bosses are pulling out all the stops for Tulisa , they are desperate to have her on the show. This is one of the largest offers the show has ever seen. It's the perfect time for her as she is trying to promote new material and launch her comeback. She is seriously thinking about it."

One of the bigger names thrown into the mix is Lil' Kim.

The 41-year-old rapper is believed to have finally agreed to take part in the next series after being offered the highest-ever amount to be paid to a contestant.

Bosses have reportedly hounded her for years to take part in the programme and they've now given her an offer she can't refuse.
