'Big Brother' bosses design "love loft"?

Big Brother producers have designed a "love loft" to add an element of romance to this year's show, say reports.

Concerned by the ratings for last year's series and Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack, bosses want to spice up the reality programme and encourage contestants to pair off, according to the Daily Star.

"It’s the ideal snug for lovebirds to sneak off to," said a source.

"We can either open it up when the show starts or wait until we see who gets together in the house and give it them as a reward."

A loft was installed for Celebrity Hijack but only got used during Andy McNab's SAS task as an interrogation room.

It is also claimed that Big Brother's Big Mouth is looking to replace presenters James Corden and Matthew Horne, with All Saints' Appleton sisters in the running to replace them.
