C5 teases Big Brother newbies, confirms familiar face

Last night bosses announced a shock twist that will see four housemates will get the axe, only to be replaced by four newbies.

An updated Sky EPG listing for tomorrow’s live show later claimed that one of them would be a ‘familiar face’ – and this afternoon, C5 issued a press release confirming the news.

They could be a popular ex-housemate from a previous series – although fans are speculating that bosses will bring back Simon Gross, who entered the current series on launch night before being turfed out just 90 minutes later in a random eviction.

The mystery person will arrive alongside three brand new contestants, described as follows:

• A 29-year-old science student in his final year studying organic chemistry, who is also a ‘UK Pleasure boy’ that strips across the UK
• A 22 year bisexual model who has worked as a dominatrix and on Babestation webcams
• A part Sri Lankan bisexual who is a singer and entertainer, whose attitude is ‘flirt with the world and get stuff for free’

Big Brother presenter Emma Willis said: “Just when they were adjusting to life in the house, Big Brother is about to drop a whopper of a time bomb. I can’t wait to see how the surprise mass eviction, some brand new housemates and a very familiar face go down.”

Tomorrow’s quadruple eviction will go ahead as planned, despite the sudden exit of Aaron Frew, who was removed from the house today for inappropriate behaviour.

It is one of the show’s most controversial schemes to date, as the six housemates originally nominated to face the public vote have been saved without explanation.

Instead, producers have decided to put the rest of house in the firing line – except for Jack, who is also safe after using one of his three immunity passes on himself.
