Who is Fatman Scoop? Rumoured Celebrity Big Brother 2017 housemate and American ‘hype man’
YOU might only know Fatman Scoop from the soundtrack in cheesy club nights but the American could now be set to blaze onto TV screens for his second stint in Celebrity Big Brother.
He hasn't left it long - after only first stepping foot in the Channel 5 bungalow in 2015, but he's not in the first wave of contestants going in.
So just who is this loudmouth chart star? Here's what we know.
He's an American - and his name's not Fatman
Fatman - better known to his mum as Isaac Freeman III - was born in in New York City in 1971.
His nickname came from his dear old Uncle Jack, who referred to him as such because of his love for ice cream
He'll leave wife Shana Freeman at home as he enters Celebrity Big Brother for the second time.
And he's practically a one hit wonder
He hit UK No1 with Be Faithful in 2003 and has barely made a mark on the charts since.
He's released three compilation albums and seven singles
Fatman now juggles his music career with a stint on radio and acting as a hip hop promoter.
Meanwhile, kinky Fatman enjoys some sexy time
He fronts a sex and relationship podcast Man and the Wife, which streams on internet TV network ONLOQ.com as well as MTV.
Fatman enlisted the help of wife Shana for the saucy segment which is said to give listeners an "interactive and insightful role in steamy and wildly naughty banter between the sexes."
Talking of the audio snippets, Fatman said: "One night when I was in bed talking to Shanda, about what I can’t even remember, I realised the conversation was hilarious.
"I realised my own wife was witty, funny and sharp!! Man And Wife was born!”
What happened in his CBB stint last time around.
Fatman first stepped into the bungalow in August 2015.
He was the third housemate to be evicted, lasting until DAY 20 - yet proved rather high maintenance.
Talking of his exit, the loyal lad said: "I was put up for eviction as I refused to slag off my friends.
"Where I'm from a man doesn't slag off his friends."
Scoop also spent time as the President of the house.
He was cooped up with Austin Armacost, too
The pair starred together on the reality show two years ago - and will reunite in the new All Stars show.
This means they'll at least have one friendly face when they head into the unknown.
So he's been in a teaser for the new series?
Fatman's army were whipped into a frenzy when they spotted CBB 2017's second mystery video clip hinting at an upcoming contestant.
The exciting video features the silhouette of a male with their voice completely distorted.
The mystery housemate says: “I was fortunate enough to be part of the biggest music revolution that’s ever happened.
“I like to think of myself as a bit of an all-rounder. Jack of all trades. Master of none.
He's recently been spotted at the footie
Fatman accidentally went viral after a fan spotted him in the background of the Merseyside derby supporting Everton and Liverpool.
The picture of him cheering from the crowd racked up thousands of retweets online.
