Perez Hilton is the latest star rumoured to be joining Celebrity Big Brother 2015.

The showbiz blogger, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, looks set to join the likes of controversial columnist Katie Hopkins and Calum Best in the bungalow, according to The Sun.

An insider told the newspaper: “Perez is a huge influence online, with a website that’s one of the biggest in the world.

“He’s also making a name for himself outside the web, having appeared on various telly shows and had run-ins with well-known celebrities,” the source said.

“Perez loves Britain and the producers of CBB can’t wait for him to star in one of the most talked about shows here.”

Avid Twitter poster Perez has not commented on the rumours.

Emma Willis, who will return to host the Channel 5 reality TV show, has already hinted of a “stellar” line-up for the coming series, which begins in January.

“This is going to be one of the best ever series of the show,” she told Digital Spy. “I have such high hopes for the series – that’s how good I think it’s going to be. You won’t not recognise anybody if it stays like this. This year seems like a proper stellar cast and that’s always great to watch.”
