Model Nadia Forde has turned down a mega-bucks offer to appear on Celebrity Big Brother.
The Dubliner, 24, is reported to have been offered the chance of going into the Channel 5 house.
Insiders revealed that normally this would command a minimum of €100,000 – with bigger names taking home even larger amounts.

However Nadia decided she didn’t want the easy cash offer – which came after her rumoured romantic link to Rory McIlroy became public in the UK – over fears it would ruin her image.
Friends revealed she also fears it would lead to people seeing her as the new Georgia Salpa or Hazel O’Sullivan.
“Georgia went on the show after her relationship ended with Calum Best and she ended up being categorised as his love interest,” a pal told the Herald.

“Obviously there has been lots of speculation about Nadia and Rory McIlroy but she doesn’t want to go down that route.
“Also she’s serious about carving out a name for herself as a pop singer and feels like going on the show would only be a distraction. She has lots of gigs coming up so she’s concentrating on that.”
Yesterday, Goss.ie revealed that Nadia is bouncing back from her McIlroy hell – after discovering he was smitten with Sasha Gale for five weeks – with a gig at a UK Pride festival.
