A star is John

John from Big Brother Celebrity Hijack

The celebrity version of Big Brother returned to Channel 4 and E4 last night however, this time the celebrities are on the other side of the camera.

Matt Lucas was the first celeb to take on the role of Big Brother and he also set the first task for the new intake of the 'exceptional' housemates.

The Little Britain star picked on wannabe politican John who could only do and say as Matt told him (via a secret earpiece) as the other housemates entered one by one. What followed was a hilarious and very, very cringeworthy hour as John lied about his talents, slagged off hairstyles, danced a jig and stroked the boys' necks. Was it Matt's intention to turn him into Shahbaz from BB7?

So, what of the new housemates? Well, only a few of them have made any impact so far and that hasn't necessarily been for the right reasons. Fashion designer Jay appeared to have a massive attitude problem as he strutted around the house, while Liam's business waffling and lop-sided hairdo had us bored within seconds. Also, Jeremy demonstrated a complete humour bypass when likened to Harry Potter. Will anyone tell Amy she's a deadringer for Heather Mills?

Of course it's all first impressions at this stage and it'll be interesting to see what the likes of Joan Rivers and Jimmy Carr have in store for this lot.

What did you think of the opening show?

    I thought the first show with Matt Lucas was ok,as for the last few days its been dull,boring and a total load of crap,the housemates maybe talented but that does not make up for their lack of personality and humour,most of them are so far up their own arses its unreal.I think bb has run its course now and should be confined to the tv archives once and for all.
