Celeb BB Back On

THE stars lined up for new Big Brother show Celebrity Hijack were stunned last night when they were told: “You are now going in.”


Producers had led the group of big names to believe they would simply play the role of Big Brother – bossing around the 12 unknown housemates.


But they have now decided the celebs – including Jimmy Carr, Matt Lucas, Malcolm McLaren and Ian Wright – will also enter the house.


The U-turn comes after last-ditch talks which followed two weeks of testing the show out with “guinea pig” contestants.


We can reveal the stars will not only end up in the house but will also have to take part in the tasks.


They have also been warned that they too may face eviction by Big Brother – sparking speculation that the show could end up becoming exactly like Celebrity Big Brother.


Last night one show source said: “Things haven’t gone as well as we thought during the guinea pig week and it was looking like it was going to get a bit dull.


“Now things have been changed around a bit and the new plans make it appear that the show will still be called Celebrity Hijack but will increasingly become more like a normal celeb version of Big Brother as it goes along.

“There’s more changes in the pipeline and there’s going to be some shocks this week.”


Following the racist controversy in the last Celebrity Big Brother, Channel 4 chiefs devised the new watered-down version of the show.


There will be 12 housemates competing for the £50,000 prize who have been hand-picked for being “exceptional” young scientists, artists, athletes, musicians and entrepreneurs.


Producers say they chose talented youngsters because they are on the look-out for the next “Lily Allen or Lewis Hamilton”.


Celebs were originally there simply to organise tasks, make rules and talk to housemates in the Diary Room just like Big Brother until the U-turn by producers.


In a memo shown to the Daily Star Sunday, the celebs were told: “We would like to remind all potential Celebrity Hijackers that with power comes responsibility.


“You are responsible for making this a series to remember. Big Brother will be watching you.”


Our source added: “There are going to be a lot of surprises but not just for the housemates.


“Celebrities are going to have to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty as well, though they are not aware of that yet. There will be a lot more to this than they expect.”


Art critic Brian Sewell, Joan Rivers, artists Jake and Dinos Chapman and Bo’ Selecta! character Keith Lemon are also on board for the show, hosted by Dermot O’Leary.


It will be launched on Channel 4 on Thursday before switching to E4 for the rest of the series.

[monkeymadness]

kwl thanks a lot

[Matt]

Do they really honestly expect us to believe that?

The Daily Star are seriously scraping the barrel now...

[Oxymoron]

if this is true why are they still advertising

[Ruth*Star]

That's the biggest load of crap i have read in ages, Jease the Jabroni who wrote this must think readers are stupid.

[Harry!]

I'm more gullable than a hose pipe.

[Oxymoron]

Actually if this is true now that i think about it this is what i thought was going to happen when big brother announced BB hijack

i thought it was a decoy to stop speculation

so therefor i hope it is true

[dbh-g]

i dont think this is true as most of the hijackers would tell bb to ******* off, looking at past experiences #cough# malcolm maclaren #cough#. Plus, wouldnt they have already signed contracts, if so they cudnt just change their roles in the show.

Its complete b*ll*cks, but if it does turn out to be true, which i doubt, i apologise beforehand.

Pardon? As the nan on Catherine Tate would say "What a load of old s**t!"

[Spike]

Well I don't believe it because it comes from the Daily Star.

[MR.K!]

it isnt true because C4 website are still advertising the chance for a member of the public to be a hijacker.... and do you REALLY believe that Jimmy Carr and Ian Wright would go into the house ?!? dont think so !!

[jamesh]

what a load of tosh!

[Arneldo]

Didn't the Daily Star report a few weeks ago that two people had sex during the test run and that "it was hotting up to be the best BB yet" - silly Daily Star

[Sam!]

I read in the DS that Santa was going to be a hijacker. Will never read it again.

[Xander]

They must have nothing to write about, so what better to do then make up a story. How can anyone believe the load of rubbish that they come out with. sh*t comes flying out of there mouth and they write about it

[Matt08]

If it's coming from The Daily Star, well in this case it's a load of rubbish. I doubt they'd change the format at such a short notice. (These over-sized banner's on TiBB are really annoying. It mucks up the pages )

[Michael]

if its in the daily star then its def rubbish imo

Kraigs is a bit long ey?

hope it is true but i dont trust daily star!!lets hope VoG will come on and tell us.

[Adam8032]

The Daily Star predicted that there would be an all female launch for BB8. People dismissed these rumours ...

I want Celebrity Big Brother to return, I actually prefer the celebrity one over the main one.

I think VoG confirmed that there was some... um... "hanky panky" in the hot tub

[Sammeth]

DigitalSpy is also carrying a similar story, that I think they have based information in it from Daily Star.

I think if the format was changing to that of Celebrity Big Brother then the Channel 4 press website or the official Big Brother site would have released a press pack.
