Steps singer Claire Richards has suggested that she could feature on the new series of Celebrity Big Brother.

The 2012 edition of the reality TV show kicks off tonight (January 3) and its line-up has yet to be revealed to the public.

However, a suggestive tweet from Richards hinted that she could be set to enter the house. The Steps lady said:

"Right my lovely tweethearts! I wont be able to tweet you for a while…. so please follow @UrbanAssociates whilst i'm away… lots of love C."

Her husband Reece Richards reportedly later tweeted via her account: "Hi, it's Reece here (Claire's husband) Just got home from work, she's not here and her suitcases are missing. Anyone got any ideas?!!"

Other names linked with appearing on the show include 2012 X Factor contestant Rylan Clark and Lindsay Lohan.
