DISGRACED American football legend OJ Simpson could be set for Celebrity Big Brother.

The former NFL star and actor is due to be released from prison in the US in October.

OJ – nicknamed The Juice – was cleared of killing his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman in the most high-profile murder trial in history in 1995.

But he was later jailed for 33 years in 2008 for armed robbery and kidnapping.

Reality TV producers are said to be desperate to sign ® by ANDREW JAMESON up the fallen idol once he gets out as it would make “box office telly”.

Interest in OJ’s downfall has never been higher after the global success of a TV adaptation of his murder trial starring John Travolta and David Schwimmer.

OJ, pictured right with Nicole, was also the subject of OJ: Made In America, a 2016 TV documentary series which won an Oscar last month. After Nicole and Goldman were found murdered in 1994, OJ was involved in an LA police chase – played live on TV across the world – as he tried to evade capture. He was cleared of murder after a nine-month trial, but a civil court later found him responsible for Goldman’s death. A Channel 5 spokesman said: “We don’t comment on speculation about future housemates.”
