The radio host proved to be a popular contestant amongst viewers after fans accused some of his campmates of “bullying” him.

And now fans of the 44-year-old could be about to see a lot more of him as he teased an upcoming appearance on Celebrity Big Brother.

Speaking on his talkRADIO show, Iain told his listeners that he would take part in the Channel 5 programme as long as the “money was right”.

He revealed: "I had been offered it four times. This time, due to certain circumstances, I approached them.

"I know it's a freak show. [But] if the money was right, I'd do Big Brother."

Iain – who came third in the ITV show – recently admitted his fee from the jungle helped him pay for his mother’s care home.

The broadcaster’s 66-year-old mother suffers from multiple sclerosis, a debilitating condition that causes problems with the brain and/or spinal cord.

Iain opened up about the struggle of barely being able to keep up with payments to keep his mother in the care home, which costs £1,5000 a week.

Iain said: “We can’t afford to keep her there. It’s very upsetting.

Meanwhile, it appears the Celebrity Big Brother line-up is coming together as it was revealed there will initially be all-female housemates.

Celebrity Big Brother  launches on Tuesday January 2 on Channel 5.
