Ex-housemate plans 'Big Brother' musical

Former Big Brother star Stuart Hosking has announced that he wants to turn the show into a hit musical.

The ex-housemate, who competed in Big Brother 2 in 2001, confirmed that he has even contacted theatre composer Andrew Lloyd Webber in a bid to get the idea off the ground.

"I have always thought there is scope to make Big Brother: The Musical," Hosking told the Daily Star. "After all, they turned Jerry Springer into an opera. So why not Big Brother? I really think it can work.

"It would be very interactive and the audience would get involved in the action just like they do on the show. There was a recent call to get younger people into West End theatres and this is exactly the kind of thing that would get bums on seats."

Big Brother producers are currently searching for a new batch of contestants who will enter the house in the summer.
