Anthony Scaramucci will be on 'Celebrity Big Brother,' following Omarosa's lead

(CNN) — Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci will be on this season of "Celebrity Big Brother" on CBS, the second straight year that the reality show has featured a prominent member of Donald Trump's White House.

The CBS announcement comes a year after Omarosa Manigault-Newman, the "Apprentice" alum and former White House aide, appeared on the show and held forth about her time in the Trump administration. She told her housemates that the situation at the White House was "going to not be OK," said she was "haunted" by Trump's tweets every day, and compared her departure to being freed from a plantation.

Scaramucci, the financier-turned-Trump whisperer, was infamously the White House's communications director for a whirlwind 11 days in July 2017. "The Mooch" was ousted after giving an aggressively vulgar interview to The New Yorker about fellow officials Reince Priebus and Steven Bannon.
