THE Princess of Wales’ scandal-hit uncle Gary Goldsmith is set to enter the Celebrity Big Brother tonight.

Kate’s mum Carole Middleton — Gary’s sister — is said to be “infuriated” after her brother signed up for CBB.

The Palace is also anxious about what Gary might say about the royals and Kate’s family.

And the heavily tattooed 58-year-old has frequently embarrassed his royal niece with his behaviour.

Prince William spent a holiday with Kate at Goldsmith’s eight-acre hideaway in Ibiza, called Maison de Bang Bang, in 2006.

But more recently the millionaire businessman was fined for assaulting his wife and was filmed chopping up cocaine in Ibiza.

Goldsmith amassed a £30million fortune through an IT recruitment business.

But he was caught cutting up cocaine for a prostitute at his Ibiza party villa in a 2009 newspaper sting.

He was fined £5,000 and sentenced to a 12-month community order.

And in 2017 he admitted attacking his wife Julie-Ann and knocking her to the ground in a drunken row.

Gary was charged with assault by beating following the argument.

His wife’s mum Maureen Brown slammed him for hitting Julie-Ann after she accused him of doing cocaine.

She told MailOnline: “You shouldn’t do that to a woman. She doesn’t deserve that.”

The Sun first revealed in January how Gary had signed his ITV contract.

He is CBB’s most controversial contestant and is joining celebrities including TV star Sharon Osbourne, music guru Louis Walsh and presenter Fern Britton.

Other stars including Coronation Street actor Colson Smith and Strictly Come Dancing’s Nikita Kuzmin are also locked down in the secret location ahead of tonight’s first episode.

Insiders said ITV think Gary will become a firm favourite for his straight-talking and the insight he could give on his niece — who will one day become Queen.

He previously auditioned for I’m A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here! but telly sources claimed ITV backtracked after fearing he may cause embarrassment for the Palace.

Kate was a bridesmaid at Gary’s first wedding in 1991.

An insider told The Sun: “In the eyes of the public, Gary’s become the black sheep of the Middleton family.

“Carole is his sister, so there will always be love, but they no longer see eye-to-eye on lots of things.

“He has said he doesn’t have their blessing to go into the house but is going full steam ahead anyway.

“He wants to defend his family. Gary wouldn’t do anything to embarrass Kate or William, who he thinks a lot of.

“With Kate being out of the public eye at the moment and William shouldering a lot, the last thing they want is for Uncle Gary to be causing any embarrassment on television.

“Gary has said he knows what he is doing and has told his friends he’d never do anything to hurt his family.”
