Attention Celebrity Big Brother fans!

Courtney Stodden is hoping across the pond to spice up the hit show.

While the cast of the new season of U.K.'s Celebrity Big Brother has not been announced, a source exclusively tells E! News the teen bride will be one of the celebrity contestants.

Which of course means there'll be plenty more skin, skimpy outfits and words of wisdom to come from the 18-year-old stunner (can't wait!).

So will the blond bombshell's hubby, Doug Hutchison, be joining the show (à la Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt last season)?

Nope! The insider adds Doug will not be living in the house with Courtney.

A rep for Stodden declined to comment on the casting rumors.

Stodden—who is apparently already embracing her role on the Channel 5 show—was spotted wearing a Manchester United jersey in Los Angeles on Saturday en route to LAX for a flight to London.

"In the plane & ready for takeoff ... here I come!," she coyly tweeted Saturday, posting no further clues about her trip.

Courtney's casting comes on the heels of Bobbi Kristina Brown's reported exit after the 20-year-old daughter of the late Whitney Houston apparently dropped out due to alleged online abuse she received over her decision to become a castmember.

Additional contestants rumored to be joining the hit show include model Sophie Anderton, Geordie Shore's Charlotte Crosby and former Coronation Street star Bruce Jones

Celebrity Big Brother kicks off Thursday at 9 p.m.
