The housmemates will take part in a major task later today called the ‘Phone Booth of Doom’.
Birthday boy Vinnie Jones will answer a call in a phone booth placed in the garden. Once he’s in the phone box, he’ll be locked inside and unable to escape.
The other housemates will have to take part in six mini tasks in order to get Vinnie out. The tasks, explained in a press release, are:
Celebrity Maths
A board will be revealed in the Garden featuring five of the 11 celebrities’ faces. All housemates must work out the celebrity equation to reveal the number.
Mouse Traps
One housemate will be instructed to enter the Small Task Room. Inside, the housemate will find100 set mouse traps. Some will be set with cheese; others will be set with strips of paper. The celebrity housemate has a set time to find a numbered strip of paper.
Pressure Pad
One housemate will be instructed to go to the Large Task Room where they’ll find manure and a pressure pad. The housemate must transfer the manure onto the pressure pad until the correct weight is measured. The number will appear from a tube in the ceiling.
Dirty Boy
Two housemates will be asked to enter the Small Task Room to find a large man covered in brown paint, holding two cups of water and two toothbrushes. The two housemates must scrub off the paint until they find the numbers written on his body.
Chicken Splitten
Housemates will be instructed to enter the Large Task Room where they’ll find 50 chickens laid out and x-rays on the wall showing an object inside a chicken’s body. Housemates must find the numbers with their hands.
Riddle
Big Brother will give the housemates a riddle. The housemates must solve the riddle in order to find the number hidden in the House.
When, and if, the housemates get all six numbers, Vinnie must dial them in the correct order upon Big Brother’s instruction to be released. Vinnie will then face an extra task, ‘Pop Bitching’, to win a party for the House.
POP BITCHING
Once released from the phone booth Vinnie will have to complete his own special birthday task. In the task room he will find 200 black balloons and a mask. Vinnie must try and pop the balloons, wearing the mask to reveal a secret message.
Speaking to the Big Brother website, task producer Ben Riley said: “It’s going to be dark and devious. There’s a real theme: Hell Lies in Others. It’s going to be exciting.”
He then explained that the task was based on “big American movies like Saw and Phone Booth” and it would be the largest scale task in Big Brother history.
Riley teased: “We might see some conflict, falling out and maybe a bit of manipulation.”
We can’t wait to watch this on our screens!
Keep an eye out!
