Remember Katie Waissel?

She was on The X Factor in 2010 alongside One Direction and Cher Lloyd. She came seventh and was, how do we put it? A controversial contestant. She was in the bottom two four times but the judges kept her in.

Last month we wondered whether she was going to enter the 'normal' Big Brother house but now it looks like she's going into Celebrity Big Brother.

According to The Sun, while on a flight from Atlanta to London the 30 year old was talking loudly and was overheard saying: "I shouldn't tell you this, but I'm going to be in Celebrity Big Brother."

And a source told the newspaper: "Getting Katie in the show is bound to ruffle some feathers – she might be one of the biggest egos the house has ever featured.

"It means the house has a ready-made baddie, but who knows, she might win people over."

We think she has a chance of winning people over; remember last series? No not the whole Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell saga, we're talking about John Partridge. He seemed nice at first before viewers began to turn on him.

So there's hope for Katie.

Although we doubt Katie's ex-mentor Cheryl Cole will be supporting her. Everyone thought they were friendly until Chezza revealed in her autobiography Cheryl: My Story that "good TV" was the reason she took Katie through to the live shows.

Ouch.

X Factor\\\'s Katie Waissel slams \\\'disgusting\\\' Cheryl Cole

But then Katie hit back and called Cheryl a "nasty, horrible human". In an interview with Bella magazine, she said: "I thought her behaviour was shady and unnecessary – she publicly slammed me in her book without saying anything to my face.

"But when she was my mentor, she kept trying to be my best friend and steal my cigarettes."

She continued: "I personally thought she was nasty, a horrible human and completely not genuine.

"Cheryl was charming when she had to be. But behind closed doors she was so different."

Oh OK, well good luck in the house Katie. We definitely will be watching.
