She will be joined by Darren Sutherland’s former manager Kellie Maloney – formally known as Frank – who announced this week her sex change.
Others entering the house include Kelly Brook’s fiance David McIntosh, Benefits Street’s White Dee, and TOWIE’s Lauren Goodger.
Edele is understood to be hoping to use her exposure from the house as a way of rebooting her singing career.
Producers are understood to have approached her after loving her personality on TV3’s Celebrity Apprentice, which she won.
