Fatman Scoop is the latest name who has been rumoured to be entering the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The rapper, who had a Number 1 hit with Be Faithful in 2003, is tipped to be receiving £100,000 to appear on the Channel 5 reality TV show.

An insider told The Sun: “Scoop is a larger-than-life character and bosses hope he will be in the house as well.”

The performer and MC, whose real name is Isaac Freeman, is part of the American line-up, as producers plan a UK vs USA theme for the new series, which is expected to air later this summer.
