James Jordan was the self proclaimed bad boy of the ballroom, and villain of the Celebrity Big Brother house, but that hasn't deterred TV bosses who want him to star in his own reality show.

The dancer's entertaining appearance on Celebrity Big Brother - most notably his confession that he is the Brad Pitt of dancing - has convinced TV producers that he would be ideal for a new reality show in a similar format to Peter Andre and Katie Price's ITV2 hit.

James - who is married to Strictly Come Dancing star Ola - told the Daily Star: "Channel 5 and Endemol, who make Big Brother, want to work with me again - something with me and Ola. I really enjoyed Peter's and Kate Price's show. I found them fascinating.

"Like them, we aren't afraid to let people know who we are. I've always been Marmite but I'm not boring. We are funny."

James stirred controversy when he recently blasted the bosses of Strictly Come Dancing, saying: "All footage is edited. It's all 'Everything is fun and everyone loves each other' and they don't."

This comes shortly after Lauren Goodger criticised James for his behaviour while on CBB.

She told BANG Showbiz: "I'll tell you who was the biggest person, who was the complete fakest person I've ever met in my life, is James."

"Absolutely terrible person."

He will probably do well with his own show then.
