It has long been believed that Dan Osborne will enter the Celebrity Big Brother house later this year.
A source told The Sun: “Big Brother loves controversial figures and Dan is on the job hunt after TOWIE ditched him, so this could be a match made in heaven.
“This is his best opportunity to show people how sorry he is — and collect a big cheque at the same time.”
Now, speaking with OK! Magazine, Dan has finally addressed those rumours.
The father of two – who was fired from The Only Way Is Essex after tapes leaked of him threatening his ex-girlfriend (and Teddy’s mother) Megan Tomlin – has said that he would "love to be a part of" the long-running reality series.
However there IS something holding him back from saying yes.
He explained: “I would like the opportunity for people to see the real me so it's definitely something I would love to be a part of.
"But I know it would be hard on Jacqui."
His fiancée Jacqueline Jossa agreed, with the EastEnders actress insisting that Dan would not be able to handle being away from his children for so long.
She said: "I would hate to be apart from him for that long.
“Plus I know how hard it would be for Daniel, as he would miss Ella and Teddy so much – he'd be in the Diary Room crying his eyes out!"
We guess we’ll have to wait and see what the little family decides to do.
Other celebs rumoured to be heading into the house include Stevi Richie and the controversial comedian Dapper Laughs.
