Ben Innes, the grinning man whose selfie with an Egypt Air hijacker went viral is on the verge of appearing in Celebrity Big Brother

The 27 year old gained notoriety for appearing in the 'best selfie ever' alongside Seif Eldin Mustafa who forced a plane to land in Cyprus when he claimed to be wearing a suicide vest. It was later discovered the vest was a fake. 

Commenting on the viral selfie, Innes claimed that he "threw caution to the wind while trying to stay cheerful in the face of adversity"

Inspired by Innes' 'quirky personality', Celebrity Big Brother bosses want to bring him in as an internet sensation for the next series of the show.
