The ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house has had a "tropical" makeover for the new series.
Housemates will feel like they have flown to the sunny climes of California when they step inside the famous abode on Thursday night (16.08.18) for the latest Eye of the Storm series – which features celebs who have been involved in media controversies – but devious Big Brother will ensure the new contestants will not feel like they are on holiday for long.
A ‘CBB’ teaser reads: "Any celebrity wrapped up in a media storm needs a quick getaway from the pressures of the scrutiny and what better place to go than the sunny climes of California?
"The interior of the house is a paradise of tropical prints and Hollywood Regency flair.
"The exterior is reminiscent of a Palm Springs desert retreat where our celebrities can relax in a garden of cacti, succulents and a brightly coloured mid-century modern design.
"But how long the celebs stay relaxed in this retreat is, as always, up to Big Brother…"
The new-look ‘CBB’ abode has drawn comparisons to the ‘Love Island’ villa on Twitter, and it comes complete with an outside bar, which features yellow stools.
Inside the house, the celebs – who look set to include the likes of ex-‘Emmerdale’ actress Roxanne Pallett and footballer Jermaine Pennant – will feel like they are in a club as they chat while surrounded by brightly-coloured walls and neon signs.
The bedroom is decorated with pink and blue fabrics and matching wallpaper, and there is a white marble table in the dining room.
Other names linked to this year’s series include former ‘Love Island’ star Gabby Allen, porn star Stormy Daniels, and Married At First Sight’s Ben Jardine.
‘Celebrity Big Brother’ launches on Thursday at 9pm on Channel 5.
