CAPRICE MAKES IT BIG
Caprice gets set for a BB babe battle
SUPERMODEL Caprice is poised to sign up for Celebrity Big Brother in what Channel 4 bosses hope will be the sexiest series ever.
She faces glamorous competition from Sly Stallone's ex-wife, voluptuous Brigitte Nielsen, who shocked America by stripping naked in a TV reality show - and Swedish topless model Victoria Silvstedt.
Caprice, 33, will also be joined by Cherie Blair's style guru Carole Caplin, comedian Craig Charles, New Age crackpot David Icke, racing pundit John McCririck and shamed footballer Mark Bosnich.
She's been sent a contract and is considering the offer. A TV insider said: "Caprice is our dream signing. She'd add glamour to the madness that is Big Brother. It's her chance to get inside the house and show people what she's really like."
Last night Nancy Dell'Olio - England soccer manager Sven Goran-Eriksson's fiery Italian lover - was also on the verge of signing up for the third celebrity BB series, which starts on January 6. Last year's series was won by likeable former Take That singer Mark Owen.
Insiders says there have been changes to the TV set to spring surprises on unsuspecting contenders. One said: "With so many huge personalities sparks will fly. Brigitte has been on a reality show and couldn't keep her clothes on. And with Victoria, Carole and Caprice in there too, the men will find it hard to control themselves. Once the wine starts flowing who knows what'll happen."
