Sacked Chelsea footballer Adrian Mutu is "in talks" for the upcoming Celebrity Big Brother, according to The Sun today.
The Romanian striker, axed last month after testing positive for cocaine, is apparently keen to take part in the show early next year.
"Mutu started talking to producers after he was sacked from Chelsea," An Endemol insider told the newspaper. "He feels very aggrieved about the way he was treated and thinks doing Big Brother would be a good way of getting his side of the story across. Besides, he has also been given a seven-month FA ban, so he has got time to fill."
Other names being touted for the show are model Victoria Silverstedt and sports presenter David Icke.
