Today’s Daily Star Sunday contains aerial shots and rumours on BB8… lifted from a fan made trailer on YouTube.

The newspaper claims that the series will be based around 8 Deadly Sins - 7 of the usual ones and another, humiliation, added for the eight series. A source (apparently) told the Daily Star: “instead of playing it safe bosses want to capitalise on the extra publicity and make sure this is the best series ever.”

However, Inside Big Brother can reveal that the idea of 8 Deadly Sins came from a fan made trailer, which is screen-shotted in the newspaper and was uploaded by a fan on March 30th 2007. The logo the newspaper has used also comes from this trailer:

The fan also posted his ideas on this forum, and had this to say: “I am a 100% genuine forum member and DO NOT work for the STAR.”

The paper even included the ‘eight deadly sins’ from the paper with some made up babble to go with it:

LUST: A spa has been put into the bedroom, with the hope that it will get housemates in the mood for romping
GLUTTONY: Housemates will be denied food and cigarettes in the hope it will get them fighting
GREED: Secret tasks will given out to housemates, and if they pass they will be rewarded with treats which they can’t share
SLOTH: Lazy housemates will face eviction as punishment
WRATH: Big Brother will play tricks on contestants and offer fake rewards and treats to get housemates squabbling
ENVY: Certain contestants will be favoured by Big Brother, in order to cause friction between housemates
PRIDE: Housemates will be forced to tell the public why they should vote for them win, while other housemates are watching
HUMILIATION, involving some of Big Brother’s meanest punishments ever, including bringing in housemates’ relatives and ex-partners to spice things up

The paper joins the Daily Mirror in claiming the series will launch on the 1st of June - but can we trust the Daily Star?
