Boris Johnson may take part in the next series of Celebrity Big Brother, according to reports.

The Tory MP is being lined up as this year's political contestant, following George Galloway's controversial part in the last series.

Johnson, who is famed for his misdirected comments, would have to seek the permission of Conservative leader David Cameron before he is allowed into the house.

Johnson is the latest in the line of possible contestants, with others including David Hasselhoff and Adam Ant.
