Supermodel Caprice is on the verge of signing up for the latest series of "Celebrity Big Brother", The Sunday Mirror claims.

The paper quotes a TV "insider" who claims that the model has been sent a contract for the forthcoming Channel 4 series and is currently considering whether to appear.

"Caprice is our dream signing. She'd add glamour to the madness that is Big Brother. It's her chance to get inside the house and show people what she's really like," said the unnamed source.

The Sunday Mirror also claims that Cherie Blair's life-style guru Carole Caplin and Sly Stallone's ex-wife Brigitte Nielsen could also appear in the celebrity version of the reality TV show.

Nielsen shocked American viewers earlier this year when she stripped naked on a US reality TV show.

The Mirror also claims that topless Swedish model, Victoria Silvstedt could also be among the celebrity housemates in the next Big Brother series, which is set to begin on January 6th.

The paper says that the programme's producers have made various changes to the Big Brother set in order to spring surprises on the latest celebrity contestants.

It is reported that comedian Craig Charles, racing pundit John McCririck and shamed footballer Mark Bosnich will also be among those appearing in the latest show.

Sven Goran-Eriksson's fiery Italian ex, Nancy Dell'Olio is also said to be considering whether to appear.

"With so many huge personalities sparks will fly", The Sunday Mirror quotes one "TV insider" as saying.
