Just when you thought America couldn’t get any weirder.
We should be surprised that a former White House official is going to appear on a reality TV show, but when the actual President of America has appeared on something similar, it all starts to feel a little bit more normal.
That’s right: The man who likes to be referred to as as ‘The Mooch’, otherwise known as the man who held the position of White House Communications Director for a record-breaking 10 days, will appear on Celebrity Big Brother in the US.
If you’re in any doubt as to what he will be like on a show like Celebrity Big Brother, we’ll quickly remind you that this is the same man who told the New Yorker: “I’m not [Chief strategist] Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock.”
Yeah, that guy.
Scaramucci joins a fairly hilarious and random group of people, which really pushes the definition of the word ‘celebrity’ to its absolute limits.
The lineup for the show is:
- Dina Lohan – Lindsay Lohan’s mother
- Eva Marie – Former WWE wrestler
- Tamar Braxton – Toni Braxton’s sister
- Jonathon Bennett – Actor, played Aaron in Mean Girls
- Tom Green – Canadian comedian
- Ricky Williams – NFL player
- Ryan Lochte – Olympic swimmer
- Kandi Burruss – Wrote the iconic song ‘No Scrubs’
- Joey Lawrence – Actor
- Lolo Jones – Bobsled star
We told you it was random.
There is also a cash prize of $250,000 for the winner of the series.
Celebrity Big Brother US starts on 21 January.
