East London rapper Tinchy Stryder is set to appear on the new series of Celebrity Big Brother starting in January.

Reports from The Sun have claimed that the Off The Record spitter will enter the world famous house in the new year after BB bosses decided that they wanted someone like Tinchy on the show. The newspaper have stated that fellow UK rapper Chipmunk was also targeted for the by producers but Tinch was chosen instead.

Tinchy Styder is not the only name that has been leaked to be entering the Big Brother house. Actress and Playboy cover star Lindsay Lohan and shamed X Factor reject Frankie Cocozza are also rumoured to be on the list of names.

It was reported earlier this month that Cocozza had signed a £30,000 deal to appear on the reality TV series, with the X Factor finalist apparently bragging to bosses that he will “s***” someone in the house.

A Sun source has stated:

“He is not exactly a Hollywood star but everyone knows who he is and he’s bound to cause some mayhem in the house. If nothing else he’ll be good value.”

CBB arrives back on our TV screens in january.
