Big Brothers producers are known for looking for notorious individuals to fill the legendary house.
Now the canny string-pullers are rumoured to wooing two criminals to enter the show this summer.
And fans of the series aren’t happy about it.

According to reports, show bosses are chatting to drug mules Michaella McCollum and Melissa Reid (or The Peru Two, as you may be more familiar with them).
In case you don’t remember their story, they were the Northern Irish girls jailed in 2013 for attempting to smuggle £1.5 million of cocaine from Peru to Madrid.
Soon after reports appeared that producers were in talks with the girls, fans of the series were spouting their anger on Twitter.
It would seem they are not happy that two crims are being ‘rewarded’ by making loads of money to appear on the veteran reality show.
One fan raged: “Disgusting. Drug mules being rewarded. They should be deprived of any publicity.”
Another angry : “Not right drugs kill to reward drugs mules is like condoning trafficking”
Some fans have even gone as far as to say that if the two girls end up ruling shoulders with real celebs, they will refuse to watch the series, point blank. Oh what drama queens.
“I will be boycotting if they’re in Big Brother!!!”, said one overly dramatic Twitter user.
It would seem that this development has been what Michaella has been waiting for ages.

“Michaella has made no secret of her dream to become a reality TV star,” a source close to the pair have told The Sun.
“It’s all part of her bid to get her name out there in the lead up to returning to our screens – this time on an entertainment show, not BBC news.
“Big Brother producers have been chatting to her about getting her on the next series of the show, which is a pairs theme.”
Last year the girls were rumoured to be in this January’s Celebrity Big Brother until producers reportedly decided they weren’t famous enough. Too right!
It’s believed that they will now appear in the the next civilian series which will be like last year’s series and feature housemates who have enjoyed some previous media exposure.
