The 67-year-old actor has reportedly agreed to enter the infamous house for three explosive weeks when the new series hits television screens on Friday (29.07.16) night.

The funnyman has signed a mega deal worth $150,000 - making him the highest paid housemate ever - to enter the lavish compound, according to The Sun newspaper.

And Christopher will no doubt provide viewers with endless entertainment as he's no stranger to reality television.

The panto legend won over the hearts of the nation nine years ago when he walked away with the crown after being named king of the 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' jungle.

He also appeared in an episode of 'Celebrity Come Dine With Me', 'Celebrity Five Go To...', 'Celebrity Masterchef' and an all-star special edition of the game show 'Catchphrase'.

Meanwhile, Christopher is set to join the house later this week alongside the likes of former 'The Only Way is Essex' star Lewis Bloor, 'Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson, Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife Beth Chapman and Katie Waissel.

Azealia Banks, Girl's Aloud's Sarah Harding, former 'Coronation Street' star Helen Flanagan, Big Narstie are also on the hit list for this year's summer series, although the official line-up is yet to be announced by Channel 5.

'Celebrity Big Brother' is set to hit screens on July 28 at 9pm.
