When filling in application forms and it asks for a job title, what would Katie Hopkins write? She might write Professional Motormouth.

But it seems dishing out harsh words to some poor, unsuspecting stars every so often hasn’t done her any harm – Katie has apparently been offered the biggest ever fee to appear on the next series of Celebrity Big Brother.

The former Apprentice star has reportedly been offered more than the £400,000 given to sex change boxing promoter Kellie Maloney and insiders say Katie’s agreed to sign on the dotted line.

A source told The Sunday Mirror: “Undoubtedly she will clash with some of the other housemates and generate loads of publicity for the show.

“She has been approached previously, but it looks like a deal has been reached this time.”

After turning down a place in the final of The Apprentice in 2006, Katie went on to appear on I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2007 but was the second person to be booted off the show.

Will she have more success on CBB in January?
