Katie Price’s estranged husband Kieran Hayler is being eyed up for ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The reality TV show is set to return to screens this summer for a scandal-themed installment – meaning bosses are hoping to bag anyone who has been involved in any sort of controversy recently – and they’re desperate to secure the former stripper following his public split from the 40-year-old former glamour model this month.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: "’Celebrity Big Brother’ execs plan on having a lot of fun when they select their housemates for this season’s show. The more scandalous, the better. They want their stars to be as outspoken as possible, with relevant controversy attached to their name. They really want to create a buzz. Kieran would be an amazing signing and now he has nothing to lose."
Katie and Kieran’s relationship has been hitting the headlines since the brunette beauty revealed last year that her partner – with whom she has children Jett, four, and Bunny, three – had been having an affair with their nanny while she was out at work.
Katie – who also has children Harvey, 15, with Dwight Yorke, and Junior, 12, and Princess, 10, with ex-husband Peter Andre – recently said that she’d been to "hell and back" over the past year and she can’t wait for the "shocking truth" to come out.
She said in an Instagram Live video to her fans: "I’ve been to hell and back and nobody knows what I’ve been through.
"Wait until you all find out – the next two months are going to be hell. Nobody knows the truth and you’ll be shocked when you find out."
The ‘Loose Women’ panellist was left heartbroken last August when she discovered that Kieran – whom she married in 2013 – had been sleeping with Nikki Brown.
His infidelity came a few years after Katie gave him another chance after she found out that he’d been sleeping with her friends Jane Pountney and Chrissy Thomas.
‘Celebrity Big Brother’ will return to screens over the summer.
