News: Big Brother fans will be thrilled to learn that the brand new Big Brother house will feature a hot tub in the garden.

With the show airing in October and November rather than across the Summer this time around, producers have ditched the swimming pool in favour of a hot tub, which takes pride of place in the centre of the new garden.

Fans will recall some of the reality show’s most iconic moments happened in the hot tub in years gone by, including a very intimate moment between Makosi and Anthony. Producers are hoping late night antics in the new hot tub will have viewers glued to the new two-hour live feed shows, which will air each night.

The hot tub is visible in arial photographs, published by The Sun. They show the outdoor garden area is being built, with no grass laid down as yet. But the hot tub is already installed and there are plenty of outdoor seating spaces#

The images appear to show that the new house will sit indoors in a sound stage, with access through to the outdoor garden for housemates. It also looks like the evictions will happen indoors, as they do with other versions of the programme including Big Brother in the U.S.
