The sneaky pictures raise the possibility that the housemates will be split up - or that another batch of housemates will live alongside them.

The show has rarely been out of the headlines in recent months after media regulator Ofcom investigated whether racist bullying had taken place in the last series of Celebrity Big Brother against Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty.

Meanwhile, workmen are still putting the finishing touches to the site at the Elstree studios just outside of London.

Big Brother 8 kicks off on Wednesday - and the launch show will carry an apology from Channel 4 over the Shilpa Shetty race row.
