There's been a furor around Stormy Daniels throughout this year ever since rumours alleged she'd had an affair with now-President of the United States, Donald Trump. And, as this year's theme for Celebrity Big Brother is the Eye of the Storm, for celebrities who have been caught up in media scandals, who better to head into the house than Stormy?

Unfortunately, despite pretty conclusive rumours, the 39-year-old was nowhere to be seen during the launch last Thursday (16th August) - and it sounds as though she's not going to be heading in any time soon, either.

Speaking on today's episode of Loose Women (20th August), Stormy revealed that she had in fact been in talks to appear on the show - and was very close to signing a deal. Unfortunately, her ongoing court cases with Donald Trump, Michael Cohen and a custody agreement for her seven-year-old daughter have prevented her for entering the CBB house.

She revealed that negotiations had started "a while back," saying, "Full disclosure, I didn’t really know what I was getting myself in to. I’d never seen the show. They offered me a lot of money and it was very tempting and then I realised there’s no way I can make that long of a commitment because of the ongoing litigation with Donald Trump and Michael Cohen."

Stormy revealed to the panel that the deal was re-negotiated to a week, but that her divorce proceedings got in the way. "I flew over," she explained, "I had the plan that I wanted to work with producers and try to come to some sort of agreement that was beneficial for both of us.

"I was going to come over and apologise in person on the live taping to the British public and the producers and see what we could work out."

Ryan Thomas

Actor Ryan Thomas is best known for his part in ITV soap Coronation Street, playing the role of Jason Grimshaw between 2000-2016.

But unfortunately, Stormy admitted that the paperwork hadn't worked out, and that she had even done her "pre-taping" for the show. She said, "Then I got word there was a development in my custody case, I told the truth to the producers that I was uncomfortable spending the night in the house.

"Being a mum comes first and I wanted to be able to talk to my daughter with everything going on. But I wanted to work with them. I wanted to go onto the live show, because I knew there was an audience, apologise in person, explain myself, see what could be worked out."

Stormy hit back at rumours that she'd demanded more money, explaining that she'd actually given up her fee and donated it to charity, before claiming that show bosses "didn't want her to go on the live show," but that they did come to an agreement for her to spend a day there.

"We had a deal, came to a great agreement, it was going to be great for both of us. I thought it was a great way to salvage some of the show, explain in person, apologise in person and not let down the British fans."

However, Stormy then claimed that everything changed. She said, "They came back a couple of hours later and said, ‘You’re either going to go on and stay in the house, follow the contract to a ‘T’ or we’re deporting you in the morning at 6am’. They said, ‘You have to leave and we have to put you on a plane back to your port of origin, you have to leave the country.’"

Stormy added that she accepts show bosses at Channel 5 are disputing her comments, saying, "Yes, absolutely. Oh, of course I do. Of course I do."

Oh dear.

Celebrity Big Brother returns on Channel 5 tonight at 9pm.
