Julie Goodyear in Celebrity Big Brother?

Rumours circulated earlier this year that Julie Goodyear, who played Coronation Street's Bet Lynch, was signing up to join Celebrity Big Brother.

The story's been repeated today in The Mirror and on twitter by @BigBrotherXtra although it's hard to know if that's an official tweet for the show, or not.  

Anyone know for sure if Julie's really signed up for this show?

The new series of Celebrity Big Brother is due to start on Channel Five later this month.
