BB:CH Press Pack: Introduction & House Info

[Matt]

It’s one of the most coveted jobs in television, and now a bunch of celebrities are about to hijack it. Making rules, creating mayhem, setting both sublime and ridiculous tasks, taking away food as punishment – who wouldn’t want to be Big Brother?

In January’s E4 series Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack, Big Brother has kindly agreed to let some showbiz guests have a go in the hot seat. The identity of the celebs taking part remains tightly under wraps, but their aim will be simple: putting their stamp on the activities in the Big Brother house and generally causing mischief.

Dermot O’Leary will preside over the live eviction shows and his popular Big Brother’s Little Brother, while James Corden and Mathew Horne take the reigns on Big Brother’s Big Mouth where all the antics of the Celebrity Hijackers and the housemates will be dissected.

And these are no ordinary housemates - Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack will feature a group of exceptional, young housemates. Big Brother has combed the UK for the hottest young artists, athletes, musicians, entrepreneurs and dons of every other field, to assemble a cast of pure prodigies, who will play for a £50,000 prize fund.

So how will these gifted housemates, who have excelled in the real world, cope living under the guidance of Big Brother and the Celebrity Hijackers? And how will the hijackers perform, knowing that they are being given the chance of a lifetime to control what happens in the most famous house in Britain?
Big Brother, who will work side-by-side with the Celebrity Hijackers when they make their appearances, had these words of warning for those gearing up to take on the BB mantle: “Big Brother would like to remind all potential Celebrity Hijackers that with power comes responsibility. You are responsible not only for setting tasks, maintaining control in the house, handing out punishments and being a good listener in the Diary Room. You are responsible for making this a series to remember. Big Brother will be watching you.”

When the new housemates enter the house in January they’ll find it revamped from the summer series. The E4 purple will feature heavily in the colour scheme and gone are the pillow-fight-friendly beds that sleep 4 or 5, to be replaced by single beds. The surreal, split kitchen will be put back together again, and the pool will be replaced with a more intimate hot tub.

More surprises will be in store, but viewers will have to wait for launch night to find out what other tricks are up Big Brother’s sleeve. With a host of cheeky Celebrity Hijackers waiting in the wings, ready and willing to make the rules, bend the rules and even break the rules, E4 is set to be the home of mischief-making and mayhem this January.

Big Brother House gets an E4 Makeover

There’s a new bunch of housemates on their way, and a host of showbiz names gearing up to hijack Big Brother’s role, so what better time to give the Big Brother house an E4-style spruce up?

In readiness for the start of Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack, the living area has been on the receiving end of a big splat of E4 purple paint and the sofas have also been updated with the E4 purple colour scheme.

In an arty nod to stencil-style graffiti, various pictures adorn the walls throughout the house, including a cheeky monkey in the bedroom and a very chilled out cameraman in the garden. Is that really what goes on behind those mirrors?

In the bedroom, housemates can forget they are surrounded 24 hours a day by cameras as they gaze up at the urban cityscape on the walls around them. Will viewers be able to guess which British city the picture was taken in? And gone is the 4-in-a-bed set-up of summer, as there are now 12 single beds.

Also new to the house is a gym, so the group of exceptional, young housemates have somewhere they can keep fit… or sweat out any house tensions. And they can be distracted by the alpine-themed decorative walls while having a workout on the running machine or cross-trainer.

Happily for any culinary-inclined housemates, the kitchen has now been put back together since the summer when the fridge was in the garden and the oven in the bedroom. Also back in its right place is the bath, which is returned to the house bathroom.

And it wouldn’t be the Big Brother house without some outdoor water-based shenanigans, so this series housemates will get to take the edge off the brisk winter nights with a dip in the garden’s hot tub.

E4’s hijacking of Big Brother wouldn’t be complete without one further adjustment to the house. The colour of the Diary Room chair? Purple, naturally.

Woooo everything seems to be amazing !!! And they changed the diary room chair !!! :spin2:

[Conor]

I'm suprised they let out Diary room info! Anyway, were there any pics to go with the article?

[Xander]

It was fairly obvious that the diary room chair was going to be purple

[Sam!]

"12 single beds"

Looks like there is 12 housemates then. :thumbs:

[jamesh]

omg! this is so exciting! im quite excited about this bb more than normal! lol:bouncy:

[Loukas]

OMG! cannot wait

i think the diary room will be THE SAME CHAIR just WITH PURPLE light insted!!

[Tom]

I think the same about the same diary room chair but with purple lights because there would have been some sort of construction.

I have really low expectations of this series which I have purposely done, then it can't be a disappointment like BB8 was :colour::bouncy:

That press release don't really tell us anything we don't already know though ...

[Redderst]

I am really looking forward to this series. By the sound of it they really have made this house a house of horros. The bb8 theme of the house was calm and relaxing but they really have done away with that. Who think Evil bb might make a return after all we have live tasks again.

ps Doubletrouble i can see you took your pic down thank god as you are one ugly monster.

The admins have other ways of matching any new accounts you make to your old ones.

And yes, we like to stick up for each other, because it's not nice when someone calls someone ugly :thumbs:

But do you really want to waste your time setting up another account and another email if your going to do the same thing again?

[Loukas]

[Tom4784]

Cool I can't wait for this BB it sounds very exciting!

Redderst, there's no need really. Stop acting like a troll and start acting like a human with SOME social skills or disappear since your only gonna get yourself banned soon if you keep acting like this, let's keep this place friendly yeah?

I know. :bored:

They all seem to be new/little-posting members too. Not that I want to sound 'snobby' to the new members, since I'm fairly new too, but seriously:

Learn the rules; watch your tongue; keep on topic; be nice.

Doesn't take much effort.

Well I don't know what is happening over here since 4 days but it's "incredible" how the "mean and arrogant" factor is there.
Today the thread where someone met Brian was closed and now some people are called ugly for no reason. Just can someone tell me if I'm mad or something is wrong ?

[Matt]

Lets forget about Redderst and concentrate on the topic?

Maybe we should start using the ignore function more :laugh:

[Billy]

Redderst dont be so pathetic fgs, noneedto be horrible for no reason

Lol I'm too curious in order to ignore someone, I did once but I couldn't wait anymore to know what they said lol

Anyway, we don't mind losers anymore, BB Celeb Hijack is going to rock our winter ! :hello:

[Loukas]

but, define a council estate!!!!

as for the diary room chair, its the same as in BB8 but with a purple light and an eerie purple glow around it.

hoever, all i can tell you is what is there now, remember BB can change the rules at any time!

[Redmond]

Sounds great, so glad that the picture on the wall is a city landscape and not a council estate, that sounds much better.

[Xander]

We dont need the official diary room pic, Matt's already got it for us :tongue:

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

Ohhhh, this is getting really exciting. I always feel like this on the few weeks leading up to Big Brother Launch. The BB:CH launch is this night 2 weeks!!!!

[Redderst]

Yeah lest stop argueing. Hey we should al go on big borther we would be great vewing with al the aguements lol any wy who think that they have made the house for bb:ch for evil bb. bring evil bb back

[\PJ/]

Im glad they released this it will keep me going until the launch,that chair is exactly what i imagined thanks matt now im just trying to work out what secrets are instore.:eureka:

[Redderst]

I hate it when it says in the papers about the twist. I would just like to be suprsed by it for once. pepole on here keep saying i just have to work out what they rare. you wont work out what thye brcuse we always get it wrong

I hate it when the papers say the twists to,but i like to try and guess it makes it more exciting.

But isn't that what the papers are really doing, guessing what a twist might be and getting it wrong.

Some of there sources for idea's what might be happening in any new show is places like this. If you can make up something they might fall for you get paid for it even if it turns out to be wrong. You just have to send it off to them.

[Redderst]

True i mean all that rubbish they made up last year with there being 18 housmeates on launch night for bb7 was just crap

[Matt]

I for one would NOT like to see evil BB back. I think that is the kind of twist that would only work once. However I do think they need to add an element to she show on that kind of scale.

[\PJ/]

I thought Big brother was always evil not just for one seires.

[Redderst]

There you go being an idiot again matt. dont reply to my post ok ingnore me

[Jack]

Who do you think you are? Treat people with a little respect and act like a human being.

Anyway, I don't think they should do "evil" Big Brother again. Like Matt said, it wouldn't have the same impact second time round because people expect it now. They need something new. But BB:CH is looking promising.

[Matt]

What are the reasons on which you form your opinion of me being an idiot?

Just because I don't agree with you DOESN'T mean I'm an idiot.

And I will continue to reply to your posts as I am entitled to give my opinions on any of the subjects raised on this forum.

[Red Moon]

That is clearly not the sort of thing we expect from posters on TiBB. Insulting other members is not allowed. Warning issued.

That person should give up being nasty us lot are easy to get on with they are
snapping for no reason at people,anyway that purple splat is a good one it shows e4 have really took over LOL.

Agreed and creating new accounts (i.e. Redderstaylor and wendy) doesn't help them become a good poster. All they have to do is remember the rules of TiBB and have fun.

[Shaun]

On the topic of this, since I haven't really commented on BBCH, I must say that after all this information and press releases, I'm looking forward to it more than I initially was. I didn't like the splodge on the eye at first, or the general concept, but I'm hopeful...

Won't get too excited in case it's a let-down, though.

[Captain.Remy]

I guess we will have to see the new house in order to really know what to expect. This house seems very very interesting ans surprising, I don't which one will be better, the BB8 house or that one.

That's how they'll know it's you.
