The former 'EastEnders' actor - who played Jane Beale's brother Christian Clarke - is the latest addition to the line-up of the reality TV show, which kicks off a new series on Channel 5 on January 5.

A source told the Daily Star: "John is outspoken and will speak as he finds. He will certainly shake things up."

John is the latest star to be added to the line-up, which is also believed to include fellow former 'EastEnders' star Danniella Westbrook and David Bowie's ex-wife Angie.

Other celebrities who are rumoured to be appearing on the show, include Kim Kardashian West's best friend Jonathan Cheban.

The star has appeared in numerous episodes of 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' alongside his famous BFF and show bosses are hoping that he will be an exciting addition to the line-up.

A source previously said: "Jonathan has a unique insight into the world's most famous couple. He'll also make great TV as he's not afraid to shy away from a row and he's pretty outspoken."

And it has been claimed that Jonathan - who was reportedly offered a six-figure sum - has been given Kim's blessing to appear on the programme.

'Made in Chelsea' hunk Spencer Matthews, former 'Hollyoaks' actress Stephanie Davis and 'Geordie Shore' star Scott 'Scotty T' Timlin have all also been tipped to take part.
