Series 7 of Big Brother in the UK looks set to the biggest reality TV betting event in history with bookies predicting over £10 million being gambled over the course of the series. That is almost double the amount bet on previous Big Brother series due to there being more contestant and the show running for longer.

A William Hill spokesman said:

Chris Moyles and his breakfast team spent a night in the new Big Brother House on Sunday night. They couldn’t take a camera in, but you can listen again to the show to hear what they thought.

The same article also reports the bath tub is big enough for 3 people and that there is a hidden camera in a 5ft rabbit scupture in the garden which points at the pool.

This news, combined with the rumoured contestants, means that it could be the sexiest Big Brother series ever in the UK…
