Shilpa to appear on Aussie 'BB'?

Shilpa Shetty is being lined up to enter the Australian Big Brother house, according to reports.

The Bollywood actress, who was the centre of the controversy in the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother, will be in the country at the time the Aussie series is on, and producers seems keen to get her involved.

However, it is not yet known if she would be able to spend the duration of the series inside the house, and a compromise may have to be found.

"We are trying to work out just how long she can spend in the house," a spokesman from Australian Channel Ten confirmed.

The show's executive producer Tim Toni added that the rumours were based on fact, and hoped that Shetty would "liven up" the show.
