A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Kevin has been tattooing some of the most famous people in the world for years and counts many of them as friends.

"The Celebrity Big Brother team believe his tales of the stars would make him a very popular and interesting housemate. His profile is massive at the moment because of his work on Ed - his friendship with arguably the biggest pop star on the planet."

Reports have claimed that show bosses are working on a 'Summer Legends' theme for this summer's Celebrity Big Brother which will again see new housemates plus former contestants welcomed back in the house.
