Meghan Markle's sister 'in talks' to replace Stormy Daniels on Celebrity Big Brother

  • 20/08/2018

Meghan Markle's half-sister Samantha is reportedly in talks with a British broadcaster to replace porn star Stormy Daniels on Celebrity Big Brother.

The Duchess of Sussex's sibling is "sworn to secrecy" by producers of the UK's Channel 5 show, according to The Sun.

"Producers have been in touch with Samantha, but swore her to secrecy," the tabloid quotes an unnamed source as saying.

"She has been telling people she won't be going into the Big Brother house - and has tweeted as much."

Stormy has made headlines this year over her alleged affair with US President Donald Trump and his former lawyer Michael Cohen's subsequent hush money payment to her.

She was said to be set to join the reality TV show as part of a reported move by producers to "deliberately introduce outspoken housemates that have been caught up in media controversies".

Stormy "pulled out of the reality show at the last minute", reports the Daily Mail, after her lawyer Michael Avenatti "said producers had tried to 'script' her".

Samantha has been asked about the Celebrity Big Brother rumour on both Good Morning Britain and Inside Edition, where she has played coy and refused to rule it out.

"Life is about cashing in and you take opportunities as they arise... There's nothing wrong with it," she told Inside Edition.
