BB celebrities in for a rough ride

The Big Brother Celebrities are in for a rough ride
12 April 2012

Celebrities can expect a rough ride in the Big Brother house if this year's diary room chair is anything to go by.

The chair, which seats two, is modelled on a waltzer ride and sits in the middle of fairground-themed diary room which also includes a distorting mirror to confuse the image-conscious housemates.

Celebrities will be able to talk directly to Big Brother when they are in the diary room and there is likely to be some screaming from the waltzer chair as this year's show has the theme "hell lies in others".

A show spokesman said: "The Diary Room chair has taken on many guises over the different series but this one is the most spectacular yet.

"It is really in keeping with the show's feel that nothing is what it seems."

It was revealed last week that the final Celebrity house has plush velvet sofas, boudoir lighting, fake fur pelts and antique animal skulls.

The kitchen is designed to look like an "autopsy room" with clinical stainless steel fittings, Damien Hirst-style pickling jars, and walls painted in hospital scrubs green.

The house - which is fitted with nearly 50 surveillance cameras and 25 microphones - also has a covered outdoor "snug" area with sofas, throws and a log fire, a luxury bathroom fitted with a chaise longue, bathtub and private shower.

Executive producer Shirley Jones said a structure is planned for the garden which would play a big part in the final series but refused to reveal further details.

She said the famous line from Dante's Inferno "Abandon hope all ye who enter here" had inspired much of the house's design.
