Harrold said: “It’s unlikely, if he was closer to Kate maybe, but I’m sure he would be having none if it.”
Before going on the show, Carole Middleton’s brother was asked if he had Kate’s permission to be on the show.
He replied: "No, I don't need to do that. Me being on the show has not been a topic for debate.
"I love my family, they can trust me that it's all going to be okay.

The 58-year-old-businessman also said that he had spoken to his sister, Carole Middleton about Kate and his upcoming appearance on CBB.
He said: “I’ve spoken to Carole just to send my love and we talked about Kate given what’s going on.
“There’s lots going on in the family at the moment. So she’s spinning a lot of plates right now, it’s quite stressful. So the last thing I’m going to do is bring any stress to them.”

He responded: “The royals watch all sorts of television so it wouldn't surprise me if they flicked onto the channel by accident.
“Wouldn't you tune in if it was a member of your family? I would like to know what's being said.
“The men and women in suits, as we call them, will definitely be watching because they’ll fear his stint could damage the Royal Family.”
