Big Brother’s boss says his team dream up their best ideas for the hit show in the pub while reading the Daily Star.

Phil Edgar Jones insists some of their funniest and best stunts have come about after a few pints and a good read.

And, with the new series just three weeks away, they are getting their “drinking and thinking caps” on.

Phil’s own favourite task from the past was getting MP George Galloway, 53, to wear a leotard and impersonate a cat when he appeared on Celebrity Big Brother along with singer Pete Burns, 48, in 2006.

Phil revealed: “We just thought that any mime artist worth their salt would wear a leotard. Actually, I came up with that in the pub! But it provided some great scenes.”

Big Brother 9 starts on June 5 and Phil is under pressure to make the Channel 4 show a success, especially after BB Celebrity Hijack was panned by critics earlier this year.

But Phil, 40, insisted: “Big Brother is alive and well.”

Asked about BB9’s housemates, he teased: “Some are there to chase 15 minutes of fame, some for the experience and some for the prize money.

“We try to cast outlandish characters. But we don’t have a BB bingo card looking for the Irish one, the gay one, the mad one, the transsexual one. We try to get a balance.”

And this is why I think everyone associated with the Daily Star deserves a slow and painful death.

They blow their own delusional trumpet all the time, and over 80% of the time it's misplaced or just complete and utter fabrication.

I can't quite manage to adequately vent my frustration at them, so instead I'll bash on my keyboard a bit to show how much.

Maybe the housemates will have to do some sort of Alien task this year, as ET was suppose to drop in the house

another words they're basically confirming to their readers through this article that what they say is utter balls and the only reason somethings come true is because the producers actually think "that's not a bad idea" lol.

maybe the daily star should advertise back to basics next year.

They won't do back to basics again purely because BB4 was back to basics and look what happened there.

BB4 just had a mediocre selection of Housemates. Nothing else was "back to basics".
