KATIE Price has denied she is heading back into Celebrity Big Brother after rumours circulated that she had been signed up.

A spokesperson for the former glamour model and entrepreneur told the that she was not appearing on the show for a second time.
Last time she did in 2015, she won, and rumours had been given extra weight with the revelations by The Sun's Bizarre column that her finances were in dire straits with the lucrative gig potentially a big draw for her.
Yesterday a spokesperson for Coral told : “It would certainly be no surprise to see Katie sign up for another series of Big Brother this summer, with the show having previous in bringing back former contestants.
“She was hugely popular on the show back in 2015 and we’ve slashed our odds on her attempting to repeat her victory three years on this summer.”
Katie’s ex-husband Kieran Hayler has also been touted to join the line-up, which includes Jermaine Pennant, Dan Osborne and Gabby Allen.

Yesterday, Katie avoided being declared bankrupt in court after she was given three months to come up with a plan to pay off her debts.
If they could sign up Katie for a second stint in the house it would certainly help out Big Brother bosses, who’re desperately trying to find two new faces.
Earlier today John Leslie and Paris Lees dropped out, leaving the show in crisis.
A source said: “Paris’s deal broke down during last minute negotiations, so she won’t be going into the house anymore.

“And John was offered a big, six-figure deal but turned it down and now he’s out of the running too.
“It’s left frantic bosses scrambling to fill the remaining slots.
“They want to land big names but they’re really up against it with time.

Ryan, who dates former Towie star Lucy Mecklenburgh, didn’t want to be trapped in the CBB house with Dan, who used to date Lucy back in 2013.
