According to reports, Caitlyn Jenner has been in talks with producers about starring in the next series.
She supposedly met with the show’s bosses last week when she was in the UK to pick up a gong at the LGBT awards in London.
Of course, Caitlyn doesn’t need a show like Big Brother to boost her profile so desperate producers, keen for headline-grabbing stars, have apparently pulled out all the stops and offered her a whopping £1million to appear!
“The bookers are really keen to have Caitlyn in the house,” a show insider has said.
“They know she’d be TV gold so they’re prepared to break the bank for her.
“The world has been fascinated by Caitlyn’s story and getting her would push ratings through the roof.”
Although Caitlyn doesn’t need the exposure, she has said recently that she is keen to help raise awareness of trans issues – and what better way is there to do that than to be on the most talked about reality show on TV.

As she left the Awards venue, yobs in the street started yelling obscenities, leaving the 67-year-old shaken.

“Caitlyn kept her cool though and walked to her limo with her head down and security bundled her into the car but she looked terrified.”
