Kiss

Thursday June 4th

Ahead of the show starting tonight, what do we already know about the this year’s series?

This year’s diary room:  Not bland

* Firstly, 16 people will head into the house in the launch show – but none will be housemates. Confused? Those that go in will have until Sunday to prove to Big Brother that they deserve to be fully-fledged housemates.

* They’ll be set a series of tasks between now and Sunday’s live show – those that are basically a bit crap will get the boot!

* This year’s housemates will be made up of ‘fit’ people of all sexual orientations – and none will be older than 40.

* Rumours of those going in include former Miss Wales Stephanie Holland, who grew up in Wiltshire, Miss Scotland runner-up Karly Ashworth, Coach Trip duo Graham and Ivy, a ‘Brazilian Lad’, a ‘wannabe from Pakistan’ and a ‘cheeky joker from Ireland’.

* For the first few days, those competing to be housemates will live in a single room without furniture

* ‘Fake Romances’ will not be tolerated on this year’s show – producers want to crack down on those ‘doing it’ for the money!

* The tenth anniversary falls on July 14th – expect something special on that day…

* And this isn’t good – there’s no live feed this year! You’ll be able to see live stuff in the middle of the night (when they’re all asleep!!!), but not during the day anymore – and Big Brother’s Big Mouth (hosted by Davina) will only be shown on eviction nights now. Plus, ‘Diary Room Uncut’ has also been scrapped. Boo!
