Big Brother Celebrity Hijack - Intruder breaks into house

9 January 2008 - Latoya hugs intruder before security storm the house

Russell Brand set the housemates up yesterday when he sent a hoax intruder into the Big Brother house.

The hoax intruder told the housemates he was a cameraman called Paul and he complained about rats in the camera run and poor working conditions. Latoya hugged the intruder and Anthony told him to speak to the people in charge. The housemates were then forced to go to the bedroom.

The housemates discussed whether the intruder was real or a fake until Russell Brand ordered them to stop.
He said "The security situation is under control but can you please stop talking about it."

By looking through the bedroom windows the housemates were able to see Brand and the security team tackle the intruder.

Later Brand admitted that it was a hoax saying it was "a carefully constructed scenario to see how you could cope in a stressful situation."
He said "Well done I think that you all handled that well... apart from Jeremy. I think you acted like a gutless coward."
