It’s all change when Big Brother returns with a brand new theme for this series, Big Brother: Secrets & Lies.  Expect Big Brother to be harder and harsher as the housemates are subjected to countless twists, turns and tough tasks.  Suspicion will be rife as Housemates attempt to untangle Big Brother’s web of secrets and lies. How will they separate the fact from the fiction and do they have secrets of their own?

Check out the latest trailer from Channel 5...

In the Big Brother: Secrets & Lies house it’s all about self-sufficiency and recycling.  As the housemates enter through the front doors they will be greeted by a huge feature wall containing recycled life size front doors.  But what do they signify and what lies behind them? 

The sweeping staircase will take them down into an eco-style living space.  Although impressive in appearance, this house is not a hotel and provides a tougher environment than ever before.

Big Brother’s Bit On the Side, the show that dissects and debates BB, is back with a new presenting line up as with Rylan Clark and AJ Odudu join Emma as presenters.  In addition, there’s a new psych show, Big Brother’s Bit On The Psych where a panel of experts and psychologists will analyse the behaviour of the housemates across the week.  Rylan will also front a Sunday lunchtime edition of Bit On The Side. And that’s not it - for the hardcore BB fans live streaming is back nightly from 7-9pm on 5*.

 

As always, the housemates’ every move will be recorded. There are 27 remote controlled cameras, 12 fixed cameras, five manned cameras, 10 infra-red cameras and a tower cam that will provide sweeping views across the garden.  Plus 57 camera mirrors have been strategically positioned across the house, making it impossible to hide.

Sounds like fun doesn't it? Excited much? I know I am!

Big Brother's 14th incarnation will see a name change and a new team of presenters!
As producers try to revamp the ageing show, they have chosen Emma Willis to take over the helm from Brian Dowling and have renamed the reality favourite Big Brother: Secrets and Lies.


Emma Willis, Rylan Clark and AJ Odudu will be presenting Big Brother 2013 this year. The start date for the series has yet to be confirmed, but it's looking to be the second week of June.


Emma will be taking over the main show and will continue to host Bit On The Side four nights of the week. Former X Factor finalist and Celebrity Big Brother champ Rylan will join forces with TV presenter AJ for the remaining three - including a midday episode on Sunday's.

Thankfully, Emma's the first to say that Brian Dowling is happy for her.

“He understands and said if someone else had to do it he was glad it was me. If the shoe was on the other foot, I wouldn’t want anyone but him either. We’ve been in it together from the beginning.”

The new 'Big Mother' told the Daily Mirror that she's also heard from Davina McCall too (that's a big deal for BB fans everywhere!)

“Davina sent her congratulations. It’s nice to know I have her blessing.”

So what's going and when is the big reveal? Well there’s already plenty of speculation about #WhatsTheSecret on Twitter, and rumours of everything from £1 million prize funds to three BB houses... but as always we will have to wait and see.

I couldn't wait to speak to Celebrity Big Brother winner Rylan Clark this morning, thankfully he was still his usual bubbly self even with a hangover and just 40 minutes sleep.


How does it feel to win?

I'm so grateful that I've been able to have the opportunity to show myself off the stage. You have to wear a face and it's nice for people to see me for me.

How shocked are Speidi for not winning?

At the end of the day, they played the game. I think they've taken the crown from Nasty Nick. I love this show, always have and I think they were made up... but f*** 'em I won in the end.

If there were no cameras, would you have been tempted to hit out during the Speidi confrontation?

I've never done that in my life. I can floor someone with a one liner, so I let me mouth do the talking.


Who was the most important housemate to you?

I love Claire to bits but if it weren't for Razor, I wouldn't have my banter partner. I keep asking him if he was in the East End in 1988, he could have been my Dad.

You've said you're going to go on holiday with Nicole Scherzinger, has that been arranged?

I can't wait. All I want to do is sit on a beach, I don't care where I am as long as I've got the sun and sand next to me.

We all know you left the house for the X Factor rehearsals, did the other housemates know?

Yes of course, it was well known. I was let out twice. I was met by a producer in the diary room and then taken out, still wearing my microphone. If anyone thinks that I've had a glimpse at the outside world, I haven't. It was two minutes away.

Girls Aloud have shown an interest in touring with you, is that something you'd be interested in?

Are you taking the p***! Really? (He squeals!) Of course I bloody would, life just gets better every day. You've made my bloody day telling me that.

Are you looking forward to the X Factor tour?
I'm on top of the world right now. I know I'm not the best singer in the world, but tonight I'm going to go out and give a f***ing show!

Have you heard about Katie Price's wedding?

I spoke to Kate the morning I went in Big Brother, I think she was seeing Kieran. I was made aware of the wedding last night. I know she's not been with him long, Katie's Katie and nothing will change her.

You had your arguments with Heidi and Spencer, today they've said they felt were bullied. How do you feel about that?

That's b***ocks. I've never met two people that made me feel so uncomfortable. If that's what they think bullying means then it means something else in America. All I did was speak my mind, if they even try to play that card I will sue the f*** out of them.

Have you ever applied for Big Brother?

I was all set to go in the house in 2007 as a contestant but it got out and it was ripped away from me. To go into the house in the Celebrity version and win it is unbelievable.

You've been an open book throughout the show, but we never discovered what 'tootsie time' was when you received your letter from home. It made you giggle, can you reveal all?

Tootsie Time! I wish it was more exciting now but thanks for bringing it up, it made me laugh. When me and my mate Jamie get p***ed, we run along the beds slapping everyone's feet. Jamie will be made up you've asked that.

I've just spoke to Razor Ruddock and he believes that Speidi had preferential treatment, do you agree?

I love Razor, he's my Dad. I wouldn't say preferential but they'd be asleep in bed, I'd put my head on the pillow and the alarms would bloody go off. At the end of the day, we did stuff and they were just boring - f*** em!

And on that note, Rylan had said it all.
Thank you Rylan for making this series awesome.

"Tootsie time!!!"

Wasn't he a star?

After 23 days in the Celebrity Big Brother house, X Factor's Rylan Clark has taken the CBB title and been crowned the winner.


The reality star left the Celebrity Big Brother house to rapturous cheers after a turbulent three weeks.

Runners-up Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag were humble in defeat and clapped along with their fellow housemates, they seemed happy to give a quick nod to the good guy finishing first.

Spencer and Heidi have caused numerous arguments in the house, but the most memorable has to be when they branded Rylan 'fake'. The pair were asked a series of questions by Big Brother but had no idea that their fellow housemates could hear every word. They pulled no punches and Rylan's reaction will go down in Celebrity Big Brother history as one of the best rants ever.


Rylan has entertained us from start to finish, stood up for himself and his fellow housemates and made friends for life.

Over the last three weeks we've discovered that he is far more than Cry-lan from X Factor, he's a man of integrity, a funny man with an enormous heart... and we're proud to have him aren't we? Well I know I am.

GO ON RYLAN!

When Rylan's name was called, Brian Dowling looked over the moon.

Brian Dowling asked Rylan how it feels to win. "Do you know what, coming from you... it's a dream come true. They hated me three months ago and I've no idea what's going on!"

He addresses the crowd: "I remember when Brian was in the house, but when he was... it was five minutes from the house. I screamed for him. My housemates are people I grew up with and I can't believe it."

When Brian said he was the winner and called his name Rylan was overwhelmed:

"Do you know what, coming from you... it's a dream come true. They hated me three years ago and I've no idea!"

"I remember when Brian was in the house, but when he was... it was five minutes from the house. I screamed for him. My housemates are people I grew up with and I can't believe it."

Rylan was complimentary of Speidi (bless him). "They are a lovely couple, anyone can judge me but I'll always find the best in people."

He adds that Claire from Steps is his BFF. "I can't wait to meet her kids and her husband..."

As the show came to a close, Rylan's mother called on the phone. "You have been true to yourself... everyone is so happy for you" Rylan welled up, "my mum is my world."

From one blogger to the world, I don't know about you but I couldn't be happier!

Looking forward to talking to Rylan tomorrow. Be sure to post your questions, I'll ask as many as I can tomorrow.

Can you control your excitement until tonight's final? If not, here's a sneak peek at what's to come - Rylan Clark and Razor Ruddock have stripped for a giggle. Dare I quote Michelle Bass and say 'naked jacuzziness'?

Okay, so they skinny dipped in the pool and not the jacuzzi but it was funny when I wrote it.

The point being the housemates had a ball on their final night and as always they had their last supper, a heart to heart and no doubt Big Brother banged out a few awards.

Fingers crossed that you, the great British public get the result you want.

Me? I'll be painting on a cheeky beard, cracking open a bottle of bolly and hoping that Rylan is the last name to be called.

Join me tonight from 9pm on Twitter for full coverage of the live final. There'll be chat, giggles and behind the scenes madness... as well as the result of course!

Who wins? You decide.

Seriously, paint us green and call us Kryptonite all you like Spencer. We're not buying it, or most of us aren't. Are you buying Spencer's turnaround?

Spencer Pratt appeared to put on something of a show for Celebrity Big Brother viewers last night. He claimed that his bad boy behaviour had all been an act and that he liked his housemates really.

“I regret that I wasn’t able to be the level of baddie that I wanted to be and that I actually felt sympathy for my fellow housemates.”

"I liked them a little bit more than I was hoping"

“To be honest I wanted to come in here and be the ultimate baddie and hoped to hate everyone with every cell in my body."

“I tried as hard as I could, but it’s difficult in here.”

He added: “I think America is where I can shine and continue my level of badness. England is my weakness, my kryptonite.”

Hmm... Haven't we heard this somewhere before? Speidi are known for their nice-guy routine come eviction time. Has it all been an act for the past three weeks or just this timely turnaround?

I guess the public will speak with their votes tonight.
Who should win Celebrity Big Brother 2013?

As a reward for making the Celebrity Big Brother final, Big B treated Ryan and Rylan to their letters from home.

As a reward for making the final five, Big Brother had a special surprise for two of the housemates.

“The hatch is now open for one housemate to collect Ryan and Rylan’s letters from home.” The housemates cheered while Ryan and Rylan shared a high-five.

Ryan chose Razor to read his message, who joked: “Hi Ryan, that Razor Ruddock is the best man I’ve ever seen, please everyone vote for him!”

The Neighbours actor broke down in seconds after discovering that during his time away, his daughter Erin has learnt to tell the time and was missing him greatly. "Daddy has been away too long." His son Jack was annoyed Rylan and Frankie had sent his dad to the basement on launch night but he was proud of the way his father was acting.

Ryan's wife agreed with her son. She advised him not to worry about getting everyone to like him as their are many personalities in the house, and praised him for staying true to himself. She also added, "try to keep your clothes on, no nude runs okay!"

Rylan Clark chose Claire to read his letter aloud. His family told him he’d been entertaining in every task, but did ask the X Factor singer to stop swearing. Claire then broke down as she revealed that there'd been an addition to Rylan's family and the baby had been born safe and well. (We lost Rylan at this point - floods!)

As is always the case with our resident extrovert, there was one hilarious (and rather questionable moment) that screams for an explanation. One line of Rylan's letter mentioned someone looking forward to 'tootsie time' and Rylan squealed with laughter, blushed and hid his face.

I must ask Rylan about that one when I get chance!

Bless em...

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have revealed their own predictions for tomorrow night's Celebrity Big Brother final. The pair listed who they think will leave and in what order as well as who will win... them!


The discussion started when Heidi realised there was only day to go. "All of these people thought we'd be out before them."

Spencer laughed, "Yeah, I want to jump on all of their beds and go 'ner, ner'."

She smiled, "Here's the thing, all the super-Rylan fans (like you say) may come here every night to be part of it and cheer for him. But who's name is being called? Ours."

Spencer nodded, "If all those people were voting, we would be up." They agree that the 'get Speidi out' chant actually means 'they're winning!'

Pratt pointed out, "They shout 'get Speidi out' but they don't say when..."

Heidi waved her arms pretending to be in the crowd, "Yeah, Get Speidi out last! Get Speidi out last!"

After another minute of banter, the pair decided to give their predictions for the final. "Us one, Rylan two, Claire three, Razor four, Ryan five." A final high-five and they were done.

Do you agree with Speidi?
Do you think they know that Rylan is their biggest competition?
And when you chant 'GET SPEIDI OUT' do you mean last? I know I don't, I mean now!
