Kim Woodburn has confirmed Paul Danan has signed up to ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The former contestant – who shocked the nation with her wild outbursts in January’s series – is thrilled that the 39-year-old actor has agreed to enter the infamous abode tomorrow (01.08.17) night as he’ll provide the nation with loads of entertainment, but is concerned that he’ll end up in numerous rows because he’s "nasty" when he drinks.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’ on Monday (31.07.17), she said: "Paul Danan is going in. I’m almost sure. Now he is wonderful entertainment. He spends his whole life going on reality TV shows making a few bob. God love him!
"But what I love about him is he’s a lovely, soft, little nature but he drinks and drinks and drinks and when he drinks, he’s the nastiest piece of work under the sun. So hugely entertaining but will fight anybody when he’s drunk."
Bosses are no doubt hoping the former ‘EastEnders’ star will emulate the outrageous attitude he had when he took part on ‘Love Island’ in 2005 – four years after he was kicked off the same show for drunken behaviour – while looking for romance.
His entertaining boozy antics then led to a spin-off show for himself and castmates Calum Best and Fran Cosgrave, called ‘Calum, Fran, and Dangerous Danan’.
Meanwhile, Kim has also heard that medium Derek Acorah has signed up to the programme but has reassured the other celebrities that they need not to worry about any ghostly goings on inside the house because she thinks he makes things up.
She said: "The thing is, Derek Acorah I think is going in, he sees ghosts where there isn’t any. Nellie’s sitting there, Anne is over there, there’s my grandfather.
"The man’s got a vivid imagination. He couldn’t spot a ghost at 50 paces. But bless him … keep making the money but bloody hopeless."
‘Celebrity Big Brother’ returns to screens on August 1 at 9pm on Channel 5.
