According to The Daily Star, Big Brother bosses want the iconic genie from the 1988 film Big, which starred Tom Hanks.

The plastic genie will apparently grant wishes and also provide secret tasks for the housemates to do like The Tree of Temptation did during CBB7 in January.

The genie, known as Zoltar, will reside in the garden and would compliment the ‘carnival’ theme that a lot of people are speculating will be the theme for this Years Big Brother.

A show insider has commented:

“Nothing comes for free in that house. If Big Brother decides to grant a housemate’s wish then they will be told it will have consequences. It’s going to be an exciting addition. No-one will know what to expect when Zoltar calls. We want to make this final series full of shocks and surprises.”

Big Brother is due to start next month, and will be the last to air on Channel 4. The date is still yet to be announced
