New Big Brother house is unveiled

Tabnabs

The new 'Big Brother' house has been unveiled ahead of the launch of the ninth series of the show.

This year's house is a brightly-coloured purpose built complex and is the biggest house ever used for the show.

The exterior walls are painted in pink, orange, yellow and green and the garden will once again have a swimming pool.



The bedroom, in the usual dormitory style, is less luxurious than in previous years, with thin, scratchy blankets and uncomfortable mattresses.

There is a large living area with comfy sofas and plush coverings as well as an ultra-modern separate kitchen area with a red theme.





the bathroom houses a swan tap attached to a huge bath, which is surrounded by flowers, greenery, gold statues and blue velvet sofas.



The garden also has an enclosed seating area this year, with an Alice in Wonderland-proportioned giant ashtray for smokers to sit in.

Sharon Powers, creative director of 'Big Brother', said: "We've got a really exciting group of housemates ready to go into the 'Big Brother' house."

"But they need to remember that the 'Big Brother' rules are there for a reason - 'Big Brother' will not tolerate rule breaks and will be tougher than ever on housemates. It's going to be really exciting to see how they rise to the challenge of life in the house."

"For the housemates, and the viewers, it's going to be a summer to remember."

'Big Brother' begins on Thursday 5 June, with Davina McCall once again hosting the show.

TBH it looks the same as it does every year...

Yep same old. They should do what they do over here and just have one massive bed that everyone has to sleep on. It's great watching some of them freak on out when people roll over/snore etc during the night!

Heh, you're not alone. It is very addictive =] Why would there be no online streaming anymore? Didn't they make money from that? You did have to sign up to get the access so why would they stop it?

Well I think it's to do with the whole editing milarkey.

Every year there's hassle between those who watch the live E4 feed/online streaming and those who watch the highlights show and the contestants themselves arguing that any bad images of themselves were down to bad editing.

Looks like another round of Friends on E4 then

I doesn't bother me if they take the online streaming service down anyway, just gonna have to wait and see what they do and hopefully they keep the live feed on E4 going.

Agreed.

Also instead of lots of individual bowls in the house that require endless washing and drying it would be better if they ate out of one massive long bowl placed on the floor.

That'd be entertaining to watch.
