Gay couple approached for Celeb BB?

Celebrity Big Brother producers are lining up a gay couple for the next series.

Married hairdressers Nick Malenko and Royston Blythe have a huge list of celebrity clients, including Katie Price, Peter Andre, Sir Elton John, Girls Aloud and Jennifer Ellison, and producers believe that they will be perfect for the show.

The pair have previously appeared on Katie and Peter's reality series Marriage and Mayhem.

A source told the Daily Star: "Nick and Royston will be TV gold. They are camp and funny and bitchy. Just watch the sparks fly."

Endemol have been recruiting celebrities for January's series much earlier than usual, due to fears that the Shilpa Shetty race row would deter stars from signing up.
