THE next Big Brother will have 18 beds in the house - meaning it will be the biggest series of the show so far.


And it is set to have more bikini-clad babes than ever before, thanks to a full-size pool and indoor whirlpool bath.

Channel 4 is pulling out all the stops in a bid to beat ITV's rival reality show Love Island.

The insider added: "It's unfinished but at the moment the plans are for two bedrooms rather than one, with nine beds in each. This could mean 18 housemates from the outset.

"Last year it was just 13, with three coming in later."

The show's bosses are keen to get sexy housemates wearing as little as possible.

The contestants will spend 13 weeks hanging out by a 30ft swimming pool, a barbecue area and a bar.

Even if the weather is bad, the housemates will be encouraged to get their kit off in the bathroom and showers.

"It's all about being sexy and summery," said the source

Big Brother 7, hosted by Davina McCall, 38, is set to start on May 18.

hmmm another dubious source..the sun.
If it were true it sounds awful,if i wanted tacky gameshow where all the hms are lapping it up by the pool id go for the very tacky and tasteles CLI.

If it were true it would also show the producers lack of imagination,especially worrying when all the odd numbered shows to date have been the most imaginitive.

[BigSister]

I may be totally wrong but havent they already had a BB that started on a Thursday. I suppose it might catch some viewers on a Thursday that would be normally out on a Friday night, in which case it could make the launch night a huge success. Im not personally bothered about which night it launches on as long as its on, its entertaining and keeps me happy! I just cant wait, i have been looking forward to it all year!!!

[No1MakosiFan]

I hope it is, i would love a year long big brother, like germany. Lets hope there is a lot of fit birds in this year.

[JakeyBoy]

Maybe they'll air the Launch on the next day like we do
