She's no stranger to a reality TV show, and now, , Australia's own Courtney Act looks to be heading into the Celebrity Big Brother UK house.
The show premiered on January 2 in the UK boasting an all-female launch cast, celebrating 100 years since women were given the right to vote.
The Sun reported that Act would be joining the cast with a source telling them, "Courtney has seen everything as a drag queen so nothing will faze her in the house."
One of the celebs let it slip however that later the cast would grow from eight to 15, hinting that seven men would eventually be joining the house.
That celeb just so happened to be Ann Widdecombe, a former Tory MP who left the political scene in 2010, but that hasn't stopped her from voicing her staunch anti-LGBTI+ views.
Widdecombe for vowing to support transgender rights and in the past has opposed almost every move in LGBTI+ rights from same-sex adoption and civil partnerships to the equal age of consent.
Widdecombe has also as well as supporting a bakery who refused to make a cake featuring a message of marriage equality.
"In a free country," Widdecombe wrote in a weekly column for , "the baker should be able to refuse to take part in what is effectively PR for gay marriage in the knowledge that any customers who do not like that decision are free to buy their morning loaf elsewhere."
Act isn't the only one in the CBBUK house that's sure to ruffle Widdecombe's feathers, with India Willoughby also joining the lineup. Willoughby is reportedly the first trans housemate to appear on CBBUK. Widdecombe's deeply unpleasant views on trans rights are sure to stir up some trouble throughout the season. A reality TV producer's dream.
This obviously isn't Act's first reality competition, in fact, it's her fourth. Debuting on Australian Idol in 2003 where she first (unsuccessfully) auditioned as Shane Janek, Act returned to audition in drag and made it through. Placing 13th, Act was the first contestant to perform in drag in the show's global history.
In 2014, Act broke onto the world stage with season six of RuPaul's Drag Race, where she was one of the final three. This year Act was in MTV's Single AF where she and several other celebrities including Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham looked for love across the globe.
