It won't be a stormy season after all....
Fans of Celebrity Big Brother were left scratching their heads last night after Stormy Daniels failed to make an appearance on the show.
Whilst it was never officially confirmed that Daniels was going to appear, it was widely speculated in the media that the 39 year old was going into the House.
Show bosses have come out of the woods to set the record straight. They released a statement saying that Daniels was due to feature on this season, but withdrew from appearing hours before the show went live.
STATEMENT: Stormy Daniels was booked to appear on the show several months ago and hours before the show was due to go live, informed the production team that she no longer wished to enter the house as previously agreed. #CBB pic.twitter.com/qb35iAnXY0

Show bosses begged the former porn star to not withdraw from the show, yet it seemed she had made up her mind. It was claimed Daniels demanded an extra $100,000 on top of her already staggering $750,000 fee. However, this was later debunked with the star saying her withdrawal from CBB was related to a custody battle over her daughter.
Producers discussed a variety of options with her but were unable to agree any acceptable conditions for her entering the house. Our focus is now on making a brilliant series with our fantastic celebrities. #CBB

Many viewers were left disappointed, saying that Stormy was their only incentive for tuning in.
Wait, wtf....Stormy Daniels really isn’t in #CBB? That’s what I thought all the ‘Storms a comin’ nonsense was about? Cheap bastards! #CBBUK

The show will have to continue without her. Cheers actress Kirstie Alley and Corrie star Ryan Thomas are among the cast.
