Courtney could be joining the likes of footballing star John Barnes – who has already been confirmed for the show – alongside existing housemates including Amanda Barrie, Ann Widdecombe and Rachel Johnson if reports turn out to be true.

Courtney – whose real name is Shane Janek – rose to fame on the hit reality TV show, placing as a runner-up in season six.

They saw in 2018 with a performance at G-A-Y in London on New Year's Eve, meaning that the Australian presenter, singer and performer is most definitely in the UK.

A source told The Sun: "Courtney has seen everything as a drag queen so nothing will faze her in the house. She's a pro who won't be intimidated by any of the big personalities in there and she won't back down from a row."

Well, she hasn't met Ann Widdecombe yet...
