'Apprentice' star Katie 'applied for Big Brother'
The Apprentice's Katie Hopkins is so desperate for fame that she once applied for Big Brother, her step-daughter has claimed.

Charlie McKinney, whose father Damian married Hopkins in 2004, claimed that her step-mother was once a stand-by for the reality TV show.

Hopkins has become infamous in recent weeks thanks to her appearances on The Apprentice, during which she slayed her fellow contestants with a series of sharp put-downs.

McKinney told the Daily Mirror: "Katie went for Big Brother and was a stand-by. She's very into celebrity. I wouldn't be surprised to see her on the next Celebrity Big Brother."
