Alex Reid has reportedly been approached about appearing on the final series of Channel 4’s Celebrity Big Brother.

The News Of The World reports that Reid has been offered £100,000 to star on the show and a pal told the newspaper:

“They’re desperate to sign him up. It’s perfect for him because people will get to see the real person.

“Alex has got a bad reputation but he’s actually charming and funny. We’re convinced that if he does it he’d make it to the final.”

However it is doubtful that Katie Price would allow him to appear on the reality TV show.

One insider explained: “She’s already wary about Alex doing the celebrity circuit. She thinks people use him because he’s with her.”
