<<<<<<story from Ananova>>>>>

The makers of Big Brother are denying rumours this year's show will have a "heaven and hell" format.

It had been reported there would be two houses next to each other - one luxurious and one very basic.

But production company Endemol says there will only be one house.

It is currently being built at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire.

There had been reports that contestants would compete against each other to get to stay in the "heaven" house in a similar way to the German version of Big Brother.

A spokeswoman for Endemol told Ananova: "Any stories on the format of the show are just rumours as we haven't decided how the show will work this year.

"The only thing different about the new house is that it has two toilets."

According to Heat magazine, Davina McCall has already agreed to host Big Brother 3, which begins in May.

It is thought producers are also planning a new series of Celebrity Big Brother.

Nothing we didnt know already really is it, the bit I find most funny is :

we haven't decided how the show will work this year

I read that report denying the two houses thing but when I bought my Heat magazine, it was right there! two houses, the full works!

Heat aren't normally wrong with their news on BB so I'm more likely to believe them, or at least that it's a consideration at this stage but the BB people don't want people knowing all about it yet!

We'll see, I don't really like the idea of two houses though, I think it would spoil the interaction of the housemates

I agree with you Janette, two houses does sound a bit much. So much speculation will pour out of the press as time goes on, it's difficult to believe any of it really. We'll just have to sit tight until Endemol decide to spill the beans and reveal just exactly what they intend to do!
