Celebrity Big Brother has released another trailer ahead of the impending launch night – and it appears to confirm Sam Fox will be a contestant.

The 20 second clip shows a list of items associated with being a pop star in the 80s.

Duran Duran’s 1981 hit Girls on Film plays in the background as the camera pans across items including leg warmers, a Walkman and high waisted swim wear before a copy of The Sun newspaper flies across the screen.

Fox was a Page 3 model before going on to launch a musical career. She released her first single, Touch Me, in 1986 which reached No 3 in the UK chart and No 4 in the US.

The 50-year-old is among the rumoured names to be preparing for a stint in the famous TV home when it starts on Thursday night.

A source told The Sun: “Every year Sam’s name is bandied around in ideas meetings and every year they try hard to get her but she turns it down.

“But they’ve finally managed to tempt her on board for the new series. She’s never lost her earning power even more than 30 years since her Page 3 debut but anyone would struggle to turn down hundreds of thousands.”

Fox is no stranger to reality TV having made appearances on Celebrity Wife Swap and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.

Christopher Biggins is the latest name to be bandied around for the show after The Sun reported that he has been offered £150,000 to star. If true, it would make him one of the highest paid housemates ever.

Biggins would prove tough competition for his fellow contestants having been crowned King of the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here jungle in 2007.
