Courtney Stodden Joins Celebrity Big Brother U.K. Following Bobbi Kristina’s Exit
August 20, 2013 by Lindsay Cronin
Courtney Stodden has just left Los Angeles and is reportedly headed for London to star in the popular series, Celebrity Big Brother U.K. The infamous teen bride will be appearing on the show alongside the likes of Charlotte Crosby of Geordie Shore (the UK’s version of Jersey Shore) and model Sophie Anderton.
According to E! News, Courtney will be appearing solo on the series, leaving her 53-year-old husband Doug Hutchison at home with her little greyhound pup, Dourtney (Doug + Courtney) Stodden.
Although the cast hasn’t officially been announced, it seems quite clear that Courtney is joining the show. Over the weekend, she was spotted in a Manchester United jersey and matching booty shorts while traveling to LAX for a flight to London, England.
Just yesterday, it was reported that the late Whitney Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina, pulled out of the show at the eleventh hour due to the online abuse she had gotten over the appearance. The last minute decision sent producers scrambling to find a notable U.S.-based celebrity to help with ratings and from the looks of things, Courtney was their girl.
“They knew there were guaranteed fireworks with her in the house and hoped they’d also get some revelations about Whitney. But she did a massive U-turn and sent the bosses into a panic,” a source revealed. “As it stands they’ve got loads of money to spend but they’re struggling to find anyone to give it to.”
On Saturday, Courtney further hinted at her role on the show with a mysterious tweet in which she revealed that she was traveling but didn’t disclose where.
In the plane & ready for takeoff … here I come!
