Whitney Houston is in talks to appear in ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.

The soul diva will join a host of other controversial stars in the house in January for a fee of at least £150,000 if negotiations continue to go smoothly.

Big Brother bosses believe the ‘I Will Always Love You’ singer will boost ratings because of her remarkable recovery from drink and drug addiction and her divorce from Bobby Brown.

Whitney's house was repossessed last month after she failed to make her mortgage payments.

The 43-year-old’s $1.4 million Atlanta mansion was seized and auctioned on the steps of the Fulton County Courthouse.

Reports suggest that Whitney and estranged husband Bobby defaulted on mortgage payments and the five-bedroom house was put up for sale after being foreclosed by the courts.

Whitney has recently overcome an addiction to crack cocaine and filed for divorce from Bobby, her husband of 14 years, on October 16, requesting custody of the couple's daughter Bobbi Kristina, 13.

Other stars tipped to enter the Big Brother house in the New Year include Britney’s estranged husband Kevin Federline and Girls Aloud stunner Sarah Harding.

OJ Simpson had also been lined up but negotiations broke down following the recent controversy over his book ‘If I did it’ about the murder of his wife and her lover.
