SCRAMBLING Celebrity Big Brother bosses could replace Stormy Daniels in the house with another opinionated American female – Meghan Markle’s sister Samantha.

Last night the Duchess of Sussex’s half-sister hinted she had been approached by producers about appearing in the Channel 5 hit show, following Stormy’s last-minute snub and refusal to go in.

A source described tentative discussions about making Samantha – who has spoken out repeatedly against Meghan – their new big name for the series.

It would cause a new headache for Kensington Palace – already reeling over a series of interviews given by Meghan’s dad Thomas Markle.

The source said: “Producers have been in touch with Samantha, but swore her to secrecy.

“She has been telling people she won’t be going into the Big Brother house – and has tweeted as much.

But in reality she’s being told that it is a possibility.

Discussions are ongoing.

“Big Brother bosses know that her opinions on Meghan would be as big a storyline as Stormy’s thoughts on Donald Trump. It would be a huge ratings winner.”

Asked about their approach Samantha did not rule it out, adding: “Why not? Life is about cashing in.

“You take opportunities as they arise and hopefully you enjoy the ride and make it as positive as you can. There’s nothing wrong with it.”

Porn star Stormy, 39, who claims she had unprotected sex with Donald Trump in 2006, pulled out of the reality show at the last minute after jetting into London.

Her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, said producers had tried to “script” her.

But on Friday, presenter Rylan Clark-Neal told viewers: “Five hours before the live show, Stormy informed us that she wished to simply appear on launch night and then leave.”

She was due to get £750,000.

Samantha, 53, has criticised her younger half-sister Meghan, 37, over her treatment of their father, ex-lighting director Thomas.

She has also laid into Prince Harry, 33, for his part in the royal drama.

Meghan and Thomas, 74, have not spoken in more than three months – after falling out following his decision to co-operate with the press.

Scathing Samantha has torn into the royal couple for not having the “compassion to care” about Thomas, who lives in Rosarito, Mexico.

She tweeted earlier this week: “They have unlimited resources and no interest or compassion to care. The truth sucks.”
