According to my hubby, Dermot was on Radio 2 this afternoon chatting about his SAS programme and BB4.

When asked about the start date of BB4 he said he's due to start work on Friday, 23 May.

Straight from the horses mouth (so to speak)

I was trying to listen to Dermot's interview at work this afternoon, but the bloody phone kept ringing and I missed a few bits.

Didn't actually hear him say that, Di (unfortunately) but I did hear him dismiss the rumoured start date of 27th May.

SO BB4 could well start on 23rd May as you said, - or do you think there might be a few pre-BB4 editions of BBLB the week before to build up the suspense?

I don't know!!!

[Di2001]

I can tell you one thing, Kaz

The suspense is killing me!!!!

Roll on BB4 ......

[WILDCHILD]

I love the build up to Big Brother!

Gone off on one of my flights of fancy - do you remember Davina was more or less exactly at the same stage of pregnancy for BB2 - do you think that is an omen

If so, we are in for a brilliant few weeks - lets hope so.

Dermot was right!!

This is from today's Online Sun:

BIG BROTHER has spoken - to say the new series starts on May 23.

Channel 4 announced today that the fourth run of the mega-successful reality TV show will begin in just over two weeks.

Twelve new housemates will enter the Big Brother house that evening to be cut off from the outside world for the next nine weeks.

Their every move will then be recorded by cameras and microphones, day and night.

A live launch show - presented by Davina McCall - will screen the housemates first reactions to being locked up, with C4's sister station E4 continuing the live coverage throughout the night.

Last week, producers unveiled the latest-look house in Elstree, Herts, and promised this year's Big Brother will have a softer side.

Out went garish colours and furniture for soft pastel shades and comfy sofas in a bid to make life a little easier on the contestants.

TV chiefs also promised they would not repeat last year's controversial experiment which saw the housemates divided on two sides of the house - one rich and one poor.

Instead they say they will be encouraging the group to work together rather than against each other.

16 days and counting!
