HEAVEN OR HELL
'Game on' as house is divided'

It is going to be Heaven and Hell for Big Brother's housemates next week.

The famous telly house will be split in half by the show's bosses.

One group will live in luxury and enjoy treats.

But the unlucky other wannabes will have to suffer.

The BB gang will be asked to choose one person to become "Head of House" today.

For the whole of next week, that person will have the power over everyone.

The lucky candidate will win immunity from eviction from the house next week.

They will also decide which of the gangs the other housemates will join.

The head of house will also:

• Make the housemates in "hell" do all the tasks while the others lounge around.
• Lock the "baddies" in the glass pod in the garden and make them nominate in front of everyone else.
• Stick folk in the BB padded cell - which was unveiled by the show's host Davina McCall, 40 - on opening night.
• Choose when BB's tokens - for things like hot water, hair straighteners and treats - can be used.

The sensational stunt is part of a Heaven And Hell Week planned by BB chiefs.

However, the chosen one may find that their godly new role comes at a price. Those sent to hell in the BB house are likely to turn against him or her, because of the power they will be given.

And it could put them in the firing line for eviction the following week as revenge for the things they have forced others to suffer.

A BB source said last night: "Will being head of house be a dream role or a poisoned chalice?

"They will have complete power over the others.

"But power can corrupt.

"And they could find out it can be lonely at the top if everyone turns against them.

"Now the game really begins."

The head-of-house stunt has been used in BB USA.

However in their show the HoH gets to pick who should go up for eviction.
