According to the Daily Star, the bankrupt ex-singer believes that she will be seen as a "genuine" and "down-to-earth" person if she enters the house with her husband Mark Croft next year.
It is thought that Katona has received few offers of work since she was filmed snorting cocaine at her Cheshire home last month.
A source said: "It's desperation stakes for her and Mark because they're going through a hell of a bad time. Every time the phone rings or a letter drops on the mat, it seems to bring yet more bad news."
Katona boosted her profile and won new fans by appearing on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004.
Celebrity Big Brother will return for a final series on Channel 4 in January.
