Tinchy Stryder is set to join Frankie Cocozza on next year's Celebrity Big Brother, it has been reported.
According to The Sun the rapper is set to appear on the Channel 5 series, which is due to air in January 2012.
The former X Factor contestant has signed a 30,000 pound deal to appear on the show, telling TV bosses 'I will shag someone in the house."
A source said: "He's not exactly a Hollywood star but everyone knows who he is and he's bound to cause some mayhem in the house.
"If nothing else he'll be good value."
The X Factor hopeful was kicked off the show last week after reports emerged that he was dabbling in drugs, which breaks the shows 'golden rule'.
Previous contestants on the show have included Coolio, Jedward and Take That's Mark Owen.
