Celebrity Big Brother rumoured housemate Gary Goldsmith, 58, is set to open up about his famous niece Kate Middleton, 42, during his stint on the show.

After previously slamming The Crown's depiction of his sister Carole Middleton, 69 (which suggested that she forced her daughter to pursue Prince William, 42), and being found guilty of assaulting his wife Julie-Ann in 2017, Gary is no stranger to being in the public eye.

His relationship with the Royal Family appears to be tenuous as Kate is said to be 'furious' with Gary for entering the CBB House amid her heath woes, as media speculation surrounding her absence increases.
