Former Friend Of Tulisa For Big Brother House?

As ifTulisa didn't have enough on her plate already at the moment, it's claimed that an old friend of the pop star is set to appear in this year's Big Brother.

The Daily Star - owned by the same company as Big Brother broadcaster Channel 5 - reports that the as-yet-unnamed housemate will be going into the famous house in Elstree tomorrow evening.

A source said: "This guy has known her, Dappy and Fazer for years and used to write music with them when they were all in their teens."

The housemate is apparently now a professional sportsperson.

Tulisa has been keeping her head down since she was the subject of a newspaper drugs sting a week and a half ago.

Big Brother starts with a feature-length episode tomorrow evening. The diary room chair was revealed today (June 12).
