Big Brother housemates to be split between grotty and luxury bedrooms as new-look house is divided
Contestants set to scrap over sleeping quarters when they find out only some of them can enjoy a comfortable bedroom in The United Kingdom of Big Brother themed series
BIG Brother contestants are in for a nasty shock when they enter the house next week — because their sleeping quarters have been divided up into one luxury bedroom and one grubby one.
A devilish twist will see housemates forced to live and sleep in separate spheres in the house, in keeping with the series' class-oriented theme, The United Kingdom of Big Brother.
In almost every series, most of the blazing rows come out of disagreements over who sleeps where, so the bedroom divide is bound to raise hell.
Those sleeping in the grotty bedroom will have to deal with graffiti on the walls and furnishings, rickety wooden bed frames, a dirty carpet, old hand-me-down bedding and minimal storage.
There's also a small fireplace with logs, suggesting the temperature may drop considerably in the room, and a washing line to give a rough-and-ready feel to the room.
Meanwhile the luxury bedroom is the definition of cosy, with beautiful turquoise walls, animal imagery, pristine bedding and a homey atmosphere.
How the housemates will be divided up, or whether they'll have to decide themselves, remains to be seen but much arguing is undoubtedly on the horizon.
Luckily the rest of the house is all mod cons, with just a few glimpses of the less savoury aspects of British society included in the decor.
However, viewers should expect the new residents of the Borehamwood bungalow to be divided between a group of "haves" and "have-nots", with luxuries taken away from less fortunate contestants.
This year Channel 5 is really going to town with its topical theme, inspired by the debates surrounding the June 8 general election.
Like actual party leaders, potential housemates hoping for stardom will have to campaign to viewers so they'll vote them into the house.
Some of the famous faces you can expect to see on the new series include Stephanie Davis' old friend JSky and one half of The X Factor's Bratavio.
A recent trailer for the show promised an "extremely revealing" series, hinting that the housemates will be stripping to their birthday suits at some point.
- Big Brother kicks off on Monday June 5 at 8.30pm on Channel 5, followed by Big Brother's Bit On The Side.
