The paper reports that bosses are hoping Perez dishes the dirt on his showbiz lifestyle, keeping viewers and his fellow housemates interested with funny tales and juicy goss.
An insider tells The Sun: “Perez is a huge influence online, with a website that’s one of the biggest in the world.
“He’s also making a name for himself outside the web, having appeared on various telly shows and had run-ins with well-known celebrities.
“Perez loves Britain and the producers of ‘CBB’ can’t wait for him to star in one of the most talked about shows here.”
While Perez counts Katy Perry and Paris Hilton as two of his many celeb friends, he’s had more than a few disputes, including a long-running public row with Lady Gaga.
Earlier this week, the first snaps of the new ‘CBB’ house were revealed, and while it looks as though the celebs will still be living a luxury lifestyle, the ‘Twisted Fairytale’ theme will ensure there’s plenty of drama and surprises.
