CBB7: Tasks To Be Set By Other Stars?

With two weeks before the big launch, The Sun has thrown a huge rumor into the mix. They are claiming that in addition to the celebrities in the house, celebrities outside of the house will be picking their daily tasks.

Ahhh yes, we’ve seen this before with their Celebrity Hijack series (‘Young’ contestants went into the house, only to have the daily tasks picked by a celebrity).  Big Brother fans in the UK are already hoping this rumor isn’t true, as they’ve seen it before. C4 claims that their final season of Celebrity Big Brother will be “Hell”… and this hardly sounds like it.

CELEBRITY Big Brother contestants are to be set tasks by TV stars – in a bid to perk up the last ever series.

Countdown’s Rachel Riley, 23, has already signed up to test housemates’ maths skills. Producers are also eyeing Location Location Location host Kirstie Allsopp, 36, who could set contestants homemaking tasks. And chefs such as Jamie Oliver, 34, could give cooking challenges.

The stars will enter the Big Brother compound to speak to the contestants – a first for the show.

An insider said: “The plan is to surprise the celebs and do something different. ”The tasks are one of the most popular parts of the show and producers have been thinking how to spice them up.”

The celebrities are due to enter the house on January 3.

Among those thought to have signed up are Boy George, 48, and Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss, 43. MC Hammer, 47, and Pamela Anderson, 42, are also in talks.

Bosses have pledged to spend more on fewer stars to make the last series the best ever.

Note: Boy George has not signed on, to our knowledge. The Sun contradicts their own report and  is reporting that Boy George is asking a judge today if he can enter the house.
