AMIR Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom has signed up to Celebrity Big Brother.
Insiders said Faryal, 32, had the former boxer’s blessing to join the ITV show and was hoping to change the public’s perception of her after forgiving Amir for cheating.
A source said: “Faryal is a knockout signing for Celebrity Big Brother. She’s had her ups and downs with Amir but wants to step into the limelight in her own right.
“Faryal has said she wants to show the public she’s not a doormat he walks all over.
“She is fiery and feisty and will make a brilliant housemate.”
The Sun revealed last August how the marriage between Amir, 37, and Faryal had hit breaking point after he was accused of romping with a model behind her back.
Faryal, mum of Amir’s three kids, took the love-rat back and the pair, inset, have since mended their 11-year marriage.
She will be joined in the Big Brother house by the Princess of Wales’ uncle Gary Goldsmith.
The controversial businessman signed a deal last week to join the series, which last aired on Channel 5 in 2018.
An insider said of Gary: “The team love him because of his link to Kate and he’s outspoken when it comes to Prince Harry and Meghan.”
ITV have rebooted Celebrity Big Brother following the success of their new civilian series last year.
Hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best are returning to front the show which will air next month.
