Katie Price is reportedly being paid £500,000 to join 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The former glamour model is believed to have agreed to enter the reality show house this evening (16.01.15) in return for the six-figure sum after Ken Morley and Jeremy Jackson were removed for unacceptable behaviour.
Channel 5 bosses - who have failed to persuade the 36-year-old star to appear in the past - are said to have offered her the biggest fee in the show's history in an attempt to shake things up.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Bosses have been after Katie for years but she's always said no. But this time they were desperate after axing Jeremy and Ken and went to her with an offer she just couldn't refuse."
Producers will be hoping the blonde beauty will add even more drama to the house due to her sour relationships with several contestants including Katie Hopkins - who criticised Katie for naming her latest child Bunny after it was revealed her husband Kieran Hayler had been cheating on her while she was pregnant.
Hopkins said at the time: "Makes sense, given your dad was going at it like a rabbit with all of mum's mates."
Housemate Perez Hilton has also previously spoken badly of the star saying, "I think her moment has passed," while model Alicia Douvall, 35, slammed her for stealing her lover, Dwight Yorke - with whom Katie had 12-year-old son Harvey.
Katie is also rumoured to have had a fling with Calum Best, 34, in the past.
The source added: "Katie is keen to settle scores with housemates, particularly Katie Hopkins ... Now she has decided to appear she can't wait to get into the house."
However, Katie has since dismissed rumours she is set to join the show after posting photos of her and Kieran on board a British Airways plane yesterday (15.01.15).
She captioned the photo: "Wooo here we goo little break for me and kieran together :))) (sic)."

Michelle Visage quit drinking when she was 21-years-old.
The 'Celebrity Big Brother' star has confessed she hasn't touched a drop of alcohol for 25 years as she turns into a "total sl*g" and has "no boundaries" when intoxicated.
She said: "I don't drink, I never drink.
"When I say I've never drank, I had a drink.
"The last time I had a drink I was 21.
"I realised that when I drink not only do I turn into a total sl*g, there's absolutely no boundaries."
The 46-year-old beauty admits that rather than passing out and not remembering what happened, she would wake up knowing exactly what she'd done but have no idea why.
The 'RuPaul's Drag Race' judge explained to The Sun newspaper: "I didn't black out, I knew what I was doing but I didn't like it.
"I would wake up with people and be like, I know I slept with you and I don't know why.
"Back then it wasn't safe.
"There was nothing about it that I enjoyed - the handful of times I got drunk, I was a nightmare.
"What was I just getting drunk to have random sex? It was not for me. I had to stop that.
"Every time I drank I didn't enjoy it and also I'm a Virgo, I'm a control freak."
Michelle - who has three children with her husband of 17-years - claimed there was no way she would break her sobriety in the reality show house but insisted she had no qualms about her housemates making fools of themselves.
She added: "But if my housemates want to drink, then drink get p***ed - you're going to make an ass of yourself on TV, not me."

Coronation Street's Eva Price will flee Weatherfield after being branded a love cheat by her boyfriend.
The Rovers Return barmaid, played by Catherine Tyldesley, is accused by her jealous lover Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas) of having an affair with his dad Tony Stewart (Terence Maynard), the Daily Star newspaper reports.
However, rather than having an affair, Eva has been working with Jason's dad because he's offered to buy them a house at a local auction.
Confronted by her boyfriend, Eva responds: "What? Me giving your dad a kiss on the cheek for buying us a house at an auction that finished minutes before you barged in?
"How can you think I'd jump into bed with your dad? Me and you are over."
Jason quickly realises his mistake and tries to stop her from leaving Weatherfield.
He says: "I'm so sorry, let me make this up to you."
However, Eva refuses to accept his apology and instead heads to the United States to see her mother.
The storyline was devised to cover Catherine's real-life maternity leave, but she's revealed she hopes to return to 'Coronation Street' in the summer.
The 31-year-old actress said: "This is a huge new era for me. I am so excited about being a mum."

Michael Parr feels like the Elvis Presley of 'Emmerdale'.
The 28-year-old star, who plays bad boy Ross Barton on the ITV soap, admits he feels like the king of Rock 'n' Roll or one of the members of The Beatles when female fans approach him on the street.
He said: "I had this girl come up to me trying to take a selfie but she was shaking that badly all the photos kept coming out blurred.
"She was so nervous because she was meeting Ross Barton from 'Emmerdale'. It's like I am one of The Beatles or Elvis Presley, it's totally mad."
The hunky actor - who's been inundated with x-rated pictures, messages and marriage proposals since joining the show - also claims he's been receiving more attention from men.
He told The Sun newspaper: "Guys stop me in the street and tell me, 'I hate you but only because my girlfriend never shuts up about you!' And they give me a lot of compliments on my hair, which is a bit bizarre!"
Michael - who worked as a teaching assistant at a special needs school in Essex before making it as an actor - is set to go up against 'EastEnders' actress Maddy Hill, 'Hollyoaks' hunk Cameron Moore and 'Casualty' newbie Lee Mead in the best Newcomer category at the National Television Awards next week.
He added: "If you win then you go, 'Oh yes, I deserve this', But if you don't win then it's like, 'Well, she's got more Twitter followers than me!' You make excuses!"

Joey Essex, Dom Parker, Phil Tufnell and Lady Victoria Hervey have all been injured training for 'The Jump'.
The winter sports competition - which is due to begin later this month - has been thrown into disarray after four more celebrities sustained injuries, with 24-year-old Joey saying "both legs hurt" after an accident while training to ski.
Explaining what happened, he said: "I was going down a really steep slope really fast and a random lady clipped me.
"My right foot was killing me but I couldn't stop, so I turned on my left and fell over on my head and rolled down the hill.
"My left leg got tangled in my right ski and went 'crack'. I had a double whammy. Both legs hurt, but the left one is worse."
The latest incidents add to a long list of injuries from the dangerous Channel 4 programme, after both professional dancer Ola Jordan and wife of the current Speaker of the House of Commons Sally Bercow were forced to pull out of the show due to damage from training, which the celebrities are undertaking in Austria.
Former cricketer Phil, 48, and 'Gogglebox' star, Dom, 50, have also wounded themselves while practising downhill events, with Phil falling off a skeleton sled and Dom sustaining whiplash from a bobsleigh.
Phil said: "It happened just before the end, would you believe? It was like being thrown out the back of a car on the M25 doing 60mph.
"I'm covered from head to toe in bruises. I feel like I've been in a tumble drier for a week and a half."
Explaining his own damage, Dom said: "We've both got back injuries in exactly the same place. I thought I'd broken my back on the bobsleigh, pulling the brakes on.
"I came whipping through the finish line, howling like a stuck pig."
Speaking about her own injuries, Lady Victoria added she has also harmed herself by repeatedly knocking her wrist in the same place.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I don't think it's broken but they are keeping an eye on it."
A Channel 4 source commented: "The contestants are surrounded by the best coaches but accidents do happen."
Other stars taking part in the programme include Louie Spence, Stacey Solomon, Mike Tindall and Ashley Roberts.

Sam Faiers is ready to settle down with "the one".
The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star split from on/off boyfriend Joey Essex in October but is already looking for love again because she prefers being in a relationship.
She said: "After my split with Joey, I put up a bit of a barrier with men because I wasn't ready for something new. I wasn't going out much and was focusing on myself and being a good auntie to Nelly - but it would be nice to meet someone new this year.
"I know I'm only 24 but I prefer having someone special in my life. When I do meet my next boyfriend, it'd be nice if he was the one I ended up with - I'm ready to settle down."
And Sam is hoping her friend and former TOWIE co-star Lucy Mecklenburgh's new boyfriend, gymnast Louis Smith, can help her find a man.
She added to Closer magazine: "He's perfect for Lucy because she's really into fitness. Maybe Louis has some single gymnast friends to set me up with."

Brendan Cole "can't imagine" not being on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 38-year-old professional dancer has partnered the celebrity contestants on the show since it began 10 years ago and though he anticipates he won't be on the programme forever, he is still "very comfortable" being a part of the contest.
He said: "I'm sure one day the shoes will have to be hung up, whether it's because I don't want to be there or they don't want me.
"I love 'Strictly' and it's a massive part of my life - I can't quite imagine it not being there. It's been over a quarter of my life so far. That's a big chunk of time.
"I'm very comfortable with it at the moment and hopefully they'll want me back next year."
While Brendan - who has two-year-old daughter Aurelia with wife Zoe Hobbs - adores the show, he has no interest in being a part of the accompanying tours as he prefers to take his own productions on the road.
He told Now magazine: "I've never done [the tour] and I've never wanted to. My show is what I like doing and that's how it'll stay."

Chloe Goodman, Alexander O'Neal, Michelle Visage and Alicia Douvall have been nominated for eviction from 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
Cami Li and Perez Hilton decided which of their reality show housemates they wanted to face the public vote after being crowned King and Queen of the Fairies and making Keith Chegwin and Nadia Sawalha immune.
In a clip from tonight's (15.01.15) episode Big Brother announces: "The fairy king and queen chose Keith and Nadia as the two most entertaining housemates and rewarded them with immunity from the next eviction."
Cami was made Queen earlier this week after her fellow celebrities failed to save her during a fake nominations game and last night (14.01.15) she appointed Perez as her King.
Speaking about who they'd chosen to face the first round of voting from the viewers, Perez says: "I would love to go first. I have chosen Chloe."
Cami follows up by saying: "My housemate is Alexander."
Perez then launches into a speech about his second nomination, sharing: "The next housemate that I chose for eviction came after much deliberation and consulting with my advisors Keith and Nadia, but I disregarded what they had to tell me completely so this is wholly my decision. I nominate Michelle."
Revealing the final housemate up for eviction, Cami adds: "The fourth housemate is Alicia."
Following the announcement, 'Ex on the Beach' star Chloe declared that their choices had been "so predictable" before Big Brother forced Cami and Perez to step down from the throne.
'Baywatch' actor Jeremy Jackson and former 'Coronation Street' star Ken Morley have both been removed from the house by Channel 5 bosses following unacceptable behaviour meaning Tuesday's (13.01.15) eviction was cancelled.
'Celebrity Big Brother' continues tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.

Jake Canuso wants to compete on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 'Benidorm' star - who appeared on ITV diving competition 'Splash!' in 2013 - has confessed he would love to compete on the BBC One ballroom dance contest as it would give him the chance to "learn something" and insisted his previous dance experience wouldn't give him an upper hand.
However, the 45-year-old actor - whose new 'Benidorm' co-star Nadia Sawalha is currently appearing on 'Celebrity Big Brother' - admitted he wouldn't be too keen to star on the Channel 5 reality series.
He said: "I've watched a bit of 'Big Brother'... But I can't watch it because of all the horrible stuff that goes on. Would I do it? I prefer to do stuff like Splash! that I did where I learn something. I'd love to do Strictly and people always go that you can't do it because you were a dancer - but that was two hundred and fifty years ago!"
Jake - who has played lothario Matteo Castellanos on the ITV comedy since 2007 - also shared his excitement at Johnny Vegas, who plays Geoff Maltby, returning to the show for the first time since 2009.
He said: "I adore him. He's brilliant."
The star also gushed over cast mate Joan Collins, who stars as Crystal Hennessey-Vas.
He told ITV's 'This Morning': "She is such good fun and she does bring a bit of glamour to the set and she's a great storyteller - there's a lot of juice she likes to tell of!"
