Tinchy Stryder has pulled out of Celebrity Big Brother 2012 after having doubts about the show – but Wiley looks set to take his place.
The 25-year-old rapper – who has had several Top 20 hits including ‘Number 1′, ‘Never Leave You’ and ‘Spaceship’ – turned down a big-money deal after deciding taking part would ‘do nothing for his image’.
He told The Sun: “I asked myself whether people I respect would go on a show and I decided that they wouldn’t. I respect myself for making this decision because they offered me a lot of money.
“Then, when I decided to go back and say no to the show, the money doubled. But music is my first thing and I love the people that support me and just know in my heart it wasn’t the right thing to do.”
Now it appears fellow grime star Wiley – famed for tracks ‘Wearing My Rolex’ and ‘Never Be Your Woman’ – will replace Stryder, hinting on his Twitter page: “Catch me in the big brother house.”
The new series kicks off on January 5th at 9.00pm on Channel 5.
i think Wiley would make a better housemate anyway :D
Person you’ve heard of replaced by person you haven’t shocker!!! Even as their sister paper the Daily Star still prints bullshit – indeed more so now as they have an incentive to try and get people to watch.
