RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under star Art Simone is keen to replace Katie Hopkins on Celebrity Big Brother Australia, after she was dumped by Channel Seven on Sunday.
In a Twitter post after the British commentator's firing, Art Simone, the stage name of Jack Daye, told the network to 'call her' as she's 'good at sitting around the house'.
Hopkins, 46, was dumped from Big Brother VIP after she publicly shared her plans to flout Australia's strict quarantine rules while in Sydney.

'So it seems @Channel7 now has an opening on @BigBrotherAU. I'm not up to much atm (sic) and I'm really good at sitting around the house. Call me xo,' Art Simone posted on Twitter.
In a statement provided to Daily Mail Australia on Sunday, a Channel Seven spokesperson confirmed: 'Seven Network and Endemol Shine Australia confirm that Katie Hopkins is not part of Big Brother VIP.
'Seven and Endemol Shine strongly condemn her irresponsible and reckless comments in hotel quarantine.'
Hopkins, who recently flew to Sydney ahead of her appearance on Seven's all-star season of Big Brother, caused public backlash over the weekend after claiming she was planning to deliberately flout restriction rules while staying in hotel quarantine.

At 5am on Saturday, the media personality took to Instagram live to post a speech where she 'called out' the lockdowns in Sydney and Melbourne.
During the video, Hopkins openly mocked the 14-day hotel quarantine rules revealing she planned to deliberately break them by opening her door completely naked and mask-free to workers who deliver her food.
'The police officer who checked me in told me, when they knock on my door I have to wait 30 seconds until I can open the door,' she says while breaking out into hysterics.
'I can open the door but I can only do it in a face mask.'

While the controversial figure laughed off Australia's Covid lockdown restrictions and quarantine rules, the mother-of-three claimed in 2017 that she isn't 'anti-vaccine', saying all her children were up to date with their flu-jabs.
Despite her amusement at her own antics, which she described as 'a game', other travellers stuck in hotel quarantine were outraged by her behaviour.
