"The bookers are really keen to have Caitlyn in the house. They know she'd be TV gold so they're prepared to break the bank for her. The world has been fascinated by Caitlyn's story and getting her would push ratings through the roof," a source told The Daily Star.

Caitlyn Jenner, who was formerly known as Bruce Jenner, changed her gender two years ago and she became very popular among the transgender community with her reality show titled I Am Cait. According to insiders, Channel 5 offered her U$1.74 million to appear in Celebrity Big Brother UK.
