HOUSEMATE Max has already been on a trial “dry run” for the show.
Gobby Max was a guinea pig for the last Big Brother and The Farm — both programmes produced by Endemol.
During a week in the Big Brother house Max made a name for himself — regularly stripping off and bragging about his women conquests.
Last night there were suspicions that Max may have been planted in the house by Endemol bosses in a bid to guarantee winning ratings.
A Channel 4 insider said Max was the king of the house when he did the dry run.
The source added: “He went into overdrive to impress bosses even though it wasn’t on TV.
“Bosses loved him and knew he would be a hit if he was to go on TV for real.”
