Big Brother bosses think that shamed ex-Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Bosnich would be a perfect contender in next year's Celebrity Big Brother.

Bosnich was sacked two years ago after testing positive for cocaine. Adrian Mutu, who has a similar history, is also rumoured to have been approached by the show.

An insider told the Daily Star: "Mark has had a rough time - but celebs who have found things hard on the outside often get a lot out of going on the show.

"There is time to think about things and take stock."

2005's Celebrity Big Brother will start on January 6.
