Celebrity Big Brother has allegedly signed up 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Sam Faiers.

The blonde beauty, whose ex fiancé Joey Essex spent time in the jungle in 'I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!' recently, is chasing her own reality show glory.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Sam has seen how well Joey has done on I'm A Celebrity and wants a slice of the action herself.

"She's asked TOWIE bosses if it would be okay to do it and come back for filming afterwards - and they're fine with that.

"They let Mario Falcone got on the summer Big Brother, so they could hardly have said, 'no'."

Sam, 22, began dating 23-year-old Joey in 2011 and the pair were planning to tie the knot until they split in June. He has since been linked to fellow 'I'm A Celebrity' contestant, model Amy Willerton.

His ex has reportedly agreed a six-figure deal to appear on next month's 'Celebrity Big Brother' on Channel Five.

Sam is one of this year's "big-ticket" names, along with former boy band star Lee Ryan.

The Blue singer was offered £175,000 to appear on the show last year but he demanded more cash. He is now said to have signed a deal for less than the original amount.

An insider added: "Lee is TV gold when he gets going.

"He's not thick but he has a very unusual take on things - a bit like Joey Essex.

"Also, it will be good publicity for him and Blue, as they've got new material they want to plug."

Controversial N-Dubz star Dappy is also believed to be appeared on the show.
