Page Six is reporting that Meghan Markle’s half-sister Samantha will be on the upcoming season of the British version of Celebrity Big Brother. The concept of the latest edition is expected to be "The Eye of The Storm" where the cast will share a common theme of being embroiled in their own media controversies. "This year all the celebrity housemates have a unique shared experience, they’ve all weathered their own media storms," showrunner Paul Osborne said. "Under Big Brother’s eye their stories will be once again firmly in the spotlight and in the national conversation."

Following the news of Meghan’s engagement to Prince Harry, Samantha became quite outspoken regarding her half-sister’s early life. Samantha claims that she raised Meghan for 12 years while growing up in Hollywood. She says the two drifted apart after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2008. "I didn’t feel a separation from her until I was in the wheelchair," she said, perThe Sun. "Hollywood has changed her. I think her ambition is to become a princess." 

Samantha grew especially critical of Meghan once she came out in defense of their father Thomas, and even suggested that Prince Harry would be better off marrying someone else. She is believed to be writing a book titled The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister. Samantha claims that it will less of an autobiography, and more of a "beautiful, warm, witty story." 

Much of Samantha's actions scream out that she's looking for attention, and now she's getting just that by attaching herself to the upcoming season of Celebrity Big Brother
