Michaella McCollum for CBB: Peru Two drug mule set for reality TV fame

CELEBRITY Big Brother attracts a mix of faded popstars, fame-hungry reality TV faces and the odd politician.

RISING STAR? Michaella is tipped for reality TV fame

But this year's edition might include a convicted drug smuggler.

One half of the Peru Two, Michaella McCollum, has left her Peruvian prison and might be making her way into a Borehamwood bungalow.

Michaella is tipped to gain reality TV fame after being released from jail after two years and three months behind bars.

Bookmakers' Paddy Power is giving odds of 7/1 of the 23-year-old becoming a CBB housemate.

INFAMOUS: Michaella and Melissa were jailed for smuggling cocaine

A spokesperson for the bookies said: "Michaella has gone from slammer to glamour following her release and we very much doubt that we’ve seen the last of her on our screens."

And CBB isn't the only show that could come a-knocking – an appearance on Come Dine With Me gets 10/1, a trip to the I'm A Celeb jungle is touted at 16/1, and Strictly Come Dancing is a long-shot at 50/1.

Michaella is also given 16/1 odds of starring in a Dublin pantomime.

The convict, from Dungannon, Co Tyrone, was arrested alongside Scot Melissa Reid in Lima Airport in August 2012 after being caught with 11kg of cocaine in their luggage.

LINE-UP: Will Emma be welcoming Michaella into the house?

PAROLE: Michaella has been released after two years and three months in jail

The girls were sentenced to six years and eight months in a Peru jail, but Michaella has been freed on parole.

However, her first telly appearance didn't exactly go down well with viewers.

After sitting for her first interview post-jail with Irish channel RTE, Michaella was slammed for her "X Factor makeover" which saw her trademark bun swapped for a blonde dye-job.
