“He thinks he stands a good chance too as he’s very confident in his personality,” they added.
After Stevi finished on ‘X Factor’ last year, he admitted he fancied entering Britain’s most famous abode, telling Metro: “I’d love to do 'Celebrity Big Brother'. If that came my way I’d really consider that.
“I’ve always watched it for years and years. If that was to come my way then I possibly would take that.”
