Ex On The Beach: X Factor’s Sam Callahan in talks to join line up

X Factor’s Sam Callahan has reportedly signed up for the next series of Ex On The Beach.

The singer is apparently set to enter the villa for the upcoming MTV series later this year.

Sam first rose to fame on The X Factor in 2013 and had been tipped to join the Big Brother house earlier this year.

“I have been chatting with the Ex on the Beach producers – I can confirm that,” Sam teased to The Sun newspaper. “It’s not official but it is there and we have had chats. It is something I’m keen to do.”

Sam was originally rumoured for the previous series of Ex On The Beach back in the summer.

“Sam is the best shape he’s ever been in, he’s been training so hard and now we know why,” a source said at the time. “He’s been having conversations with the Ex on the Beach production company since last year and looks to be signing on the dotted line this week.

“Sam is a player and has dated a string of glamour models including some old X Factor alumni too.”

Also rumoured for the new cast is Marnie Simpson, apparently already in Spain at the new villa.

An insider told The Sun newspaper: “Marnie’s signed up and is filming out in Spain right now.

“The producers have taken her phone away which is why the only things that have been showing up on her social media are scheduled tweets for the products she promotes and retweets for her book.”

Marnie has plenty of exs who could pop up in the villa, including Lewis Bloor who she got together with on Celebrity Big Brother last summer.
