Wrestling hero Hulk for B.Bro

HOGAN’S HUGE OFFER FOR HOUSE SHAKE-UP

- By JOE KASPER joe.kasper@dailystar.co.uk

GRAPPLING legend Hulk Hogan has been offered a mega-money deal to go into the Celebrity Big Brother house and “shake up” his fellow housemates.

HULK Hogan is being lured for “wrestleman­ia” antics on this summer’s Celebrity Big Brother.

The controvers­ial WWE star has been offered a megamoney deal to enter the house.

Channel 5 bosses want him to shake things up and have offered him their biggest-ever payday.

The wrestler, 63, is no stranger to reality telly, having already starred in Hogan Knows Best.

The show featured his ex-wife Linda, singer-daughter Brooke and son Nick – but he blamed it for contributi­ng to the break-up of his marriage.

Hulk shot to fame when he starred opposite Sylvester Stallone in Rocky III in 1983.

He also created the most iconic moment in wrestling history when he body-slammed Andre the Giant at Wrestle Mania III in 1987. But he hit rock bottom when a leaked sex tape made in 2012 showed him in bed with Heather Clem, the now ex-wife of his former friend Bubba “The Love Sponge” Clem.

And Hogan lost his contract with WWE after a transcript of him using the N-word while in bed with Heather was released.

He was eventually awarded £108million in damages for invasion of privacy.

A source said: “Hulk would be a big name for the series. He is known for being opinionate­d.

“They think he may go for it this year after previously turning them down because of the battering his reputation took.”

A CBB spokesman said: “We do not comment on rumoured housemates.”
