It appears Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of the late Whitney Houston, has dropped out of Celebrity Big Brother UK.
The Sun newspaper reported that the young star had withdrawn from the program after receiving online abuse after the news broke that she was going in the house.
The paper also quoted a Channel Five insider as saying that despite having a large budget, they are having problems attracting the big US names they need to get the big ratings.
They said: 'They knew there were guaranteed fireworks with her in the house and hoped they'd also get some revelations about Whitney.'
But they added: 'But she did a massive U-turn and sent the bosses into a panic. As it stands they've got loads of money to spend but they're struggling to find anyone to give it to.'
Whitney Houston's only daughter last month shocked fans when she announced her engagement to Nick Gordon, the boy Whitney raised as her own son,making him a brother of sorts to the 20 year-old.
Their relationship has been the subject of much controversy and scrutiny given that the couple essentially grew up as siblings.
Her father Bobby Brown stated that he was not happy with the news and berated Nick for not asking for his daughter's hand in marriage.
But the feisty youngster hit back at her critics.
Taking to her facebook page, she wrote: 'YES, we me nick (sic) are engaged. I'm tired of hearing people say “eww your engaged to your brother or if Whitney was still alive would we be together or would she approve of this.”'
'Let me clear up something, we aren't even real brother and sister nor is he my adoptive brother. My mom never adopted him. In fact, mommy was the one who even said that she knew that we were going to start dating. My mom knows me better than any of you.'
So far, other names that have been linked with this year's show include '90s RnB star Mark Morrison and Dustin Diamond, who played Screech in 90s TV show Saved By The Bell.
And whilst they were both big stars in their heyday, they've largely faded into obscurity ever since.
The show is due to air on Thursday and is rumoured to also be featuring disgraced former football commentator Ron Atkinson, model Sophie Anderton and Geordie Shore's Charlotte Crosby.
