Celebrity Big Brother 2015 bosses have signed up drag queen RuPaul’s best mate for the upcoming series, a newspaper report has claimed.

Michelle Visage, a judge on Drag Race, has earned a rep as Ms Nasty on the show for her cutting remarks on auditioning wannabes.

"I get abuse all the time for things I say on Drag Race,” she has said previously.

“But when people come for me, they don't know what the f*** I know.

"This is Ru's livelihood and do you think he's gonna have my ** on there if I don't know what I'm talking about?"

TV and radio host Michelle, 46, seems to be a big fan of the Channel 5 series, apparently picking on Nikki Grahame as her favourite housemate from the long-running reality show.

Names such as Patsy Kensit, Katie Hopkins, Calum Best and US reality star Austin Armacost are also said to be in the running to be included in the line-up.

Twitter personality Hopkins is reported to have agreed to appear on the show, having been offered more than the £400,000 that former boxing promoter Kellie Maloney is said to have earned earlier this year.

It was reported last month that reality stars from The Only Way is Essex, Geordie Shore and Made in Chelsea have been banned from the upcoming series of CBB.

Show bosses have decided not to cast 'camera aware' contestants, despite the success of the likes of 2013 winner Charlotte Crosby, TOWIE's Sam Faiers and former MiC cast member Ollie Locke.

It was also recently revealed that the show - which usually runs for 21 days - will now go on for 35 days, meaning the stars will be locked up under constant surveillance for more than a month.
