Stormy Daniels Is Joining Britain’s ‘Celebrity Big Brother’

Stormy Daniels is headed across the pond. The porn star will be joining the British reality series Celebrity Big Brother for Season 22, which begins this Thursday. According to The Sun, Daniels — her real name is Stephanie Clifford — will be one of the biggest stars on the new season of the long-running series, and as such, the network is marketing the season in her honor. Season 22 will be themed “the Eye of the Storm,” so clearly, Channel 5 is expecting major drama to follow Daniels across the Atlantic.

The Sun reports that Celebrity Big Brother Season 22 will focus on “redemption”: throughout the season, “celebrities will be asking viewers for forgiveness for past scandals.” Each week, viewers at home will vote on to evict one housemate — presumably the one who gives a half-ass apology for said “scandal” — and the final roommate in the house wins a donation to a charity of their choice.

Daniels has been in the news quite a lot recently, so she’ll have plenty to talk about on the show. The adult film actress is currently in a heated legal battle with President Donald Trump over a $130,000 payment, which she claims Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen, gave her in exchange for her silence about an alleged affair (they have denied all allegations). Daniels then filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump and Cohen, and in April, the $130,000 payment became part of a criminal investigation into Cohen’s business affairs.

Daniels isn’t the only American on this season of Celebrity Big Brother: actress Kirstie Alley will also be moving into the house in Season 22. Joining them are Love Island star Gabby Allen, reality star Dan Osborne, TV psychic Sally Morgan, Married at First Sight contestant Ben Jardine, Bad Girls Club’s Natalie Nunn, and plenty of other British celebrities.
Celebrity Big Brother airs in the U.K. on Thursday night, but there’s no word about when (or even if) the series will be available to stream in the U.S. However, Stormy Daniels fans in America can check out clips of her appearance on the show’s YouTube page.
