Big Brother: Viewer-controlled mole going into the house

Big Brother will be sending a professional actor into this year's series and they will be entirely under the control of viewers, Digital Spy has learnt.

Sources say that as part of this year's 'Secrets and Lies' theme, the male housemate will work as a 'mole' for Big Brother and be challenged to complete trouble-making tasks voted for by fans.

The concept is similar to the 'America's Player' twist used in previous seasons of Big Brother USA, in which viewers could select housemates for the 'mole' to nominate, pull pranks on and spin lies to.


The UK show has regularly seen contestants work for Big Brother - most notably Makosi Musambasi as BB6's 'Unlucky 13th housemate' and Mario Mugan, who entered BB11 wearing a mole costume. However, this will be the first time that instructions have come from viewers.

Male twins, secret relatives and a friend of Tulisa Contostavlos have also been tipped to enter this year's Big Brother.

Bit on the Side host Rylan Clark has told Digital Spy that this year's 'Secrets and Lies' twist could "make or break people".

Big Brother 14 will launch tonight (June 13) at 9pm on Channel 5, with more contestants joining the original housemates in tomorrow's (June 14) second live show airing at the same time.
