'Janet Street-Porter is to appear in a Welsh version of Celebrity Big Brother in which contestants have to learn Welsh.
She'll appear alongside actress Ruth Madoc, former One True Voice singer Jamie Shaw, athlete Tanni Grey-Thompson, Steve Strange of the 1980s band Visage, singer-songwriter Amy Wadge and Hollyoaks actor Bernie Latham.
The S4C show - cariad@iaith - will feature the contestants at the Nant Gwrtheyrn National Language Centre for an intensive week of Welsh lessons, says the Daily Post.
Street-Porter incurred the wrath of Welsh people last year after branding the Welsh language "dead" and "irrelevant". She described North Wales people "unfriendly, dour and unwelcoming", saying everybody would speak Welsh in her presence.
But in an apparent change of heart, Street-Porter said: "I'm looking forward to learning Welsh. It's never too late to acquire a new skill."
A programme insider said there would be limited contact with the outside world during filming and the celebrities will be asked to perform a number of different tasks - including a visit to the local pub.
A combination of live and highlight programmes following their progress will be broadcast in early March on both S4C and S4C digital.'
