Kylie Evans , 30 , is apparently due to appear on Big Brother . She previously caused controversy with an appearance on This Morning , pictured . The sister of convicted football rapist Ched Evans is set to appear on the next series of Big Brother , it has been reported . Kylie Evans , 30 , who has drawn public condemnation in the past after appearing on television to defend her sibling , was apparently selected after being fast-tracked through the early phases . Ms Evans , a mother , allegedly plans to use the appearance to try to convince the public of Ched 's innocence after he served time in jail for rape . She caused outrage when she appeared on ITV 's This Morning alongside Ched 's girlfriend Natasha Massey , to claim her brother was innocent while he was still behind bars . According to The Sun , Ms Evans was fast tracked through the early auditioning phases after securing the services of a professional agent . Endemol , the TV production company behind the Channel 5 reality show , could not be reached for comment on the controversy . Ched Evans has been trying to restart his career as a footballer ever since he was sacked by old club Sheffield United after being convicted of rape in 2012 . Evans was found guilty after he went to a hotel room in Rhyl , south Wales , after being messaged by fellow footballer Clayton McDonald saying he had 'got a bird ' . Once there Evans had sex with the girl , who says she has no memory of the incident . Evans claims the sex was consensual , but a jury ruled otherwise . McDonald was acquitted , but Evans was jailed for five years . He was released late last year while continuing to protest his innocence . It was believed that Sheffield United were planning to sign him again for £500,000 , but after a public outcry the club said it had no plans to hire him again . A proposed move to Oldham Athletic also fell apart due to negative media coverage , and Evans has yet to find another club which will take him . Evans pictured in Cheshire yesterday with his fiancée Natasha Massey , apparently wearing a solid gold Rolex . He continues to protest his innocence , largely via a website set up and funded by the millionaire father of his girlfriend , to whom he is now engaged . The footballer 's sister has been one of his most outspoken supporters since his conviction , and has publicly challenged high-profile figures who oppose his return to football . After Sky Sports presenter Charlie Webster threatened to resign as a patron of Sheffield United if they took Evans back , his sister called her a 'hypocrite ' because Ms Webster had previously written positively about convicted rapist Mike Tyson . Big Brother has a history of seeking out controversial contestants - two years ago the show signed up Dan Neal , a former police officer involved in the Jimmy Savile investigation , provoking warnings from Scotland Yard .
