Big Brother Celebrity Hijack -Russell Brand begged for BB sex-up

8 January 2008 - Russell Brand is planning to "sex up" 'Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack' when he hosts it tonight (08.01.08).

The long-haired comedian is set to act as Big Brother on the revolutionary show tonight and will be including his own unique sexual sense of humour at the desperate request of bored fans.

A programme source said: "Russell has said he is determined to make the other celebrity hijackers look tame in comparison. He knows the pressure is on to make his mark.

"But unlike the other presenters he knows the devious tricks the producers use to inject a bit of bite into the show, like forcing contestants at war to work together and making pals work against each other. He loves the drama and the thought he is in control - and he will use it to his best advantage."

Russell will be following in the footsteps of 'Little Britain' star Matt Lucas and soccer star Ian Wright be controlling the "ordinary" housemates for an evening, but has got his own ideas on how to keep them entertained.

The source added to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Russell has been trying to keep his ideas quiet but he can't help himself. He knows that spoilsport producers have tried to slap a ban on trying anything too raunchy, but he has decided he will be the judge of that. Russell has never been on to toe the line!"

Meanwhile, boxer Anthony Ogogo is cursing his decision to enter the famous house because he has put on more than a stone in weight since the programme started.

The 19-year-old told fellow housemates: "My trainer is really going to kick my a**e when he sees how much I weigh. It's going to take me at least six weeks to shift this lot!"
