Return of the Eubank?

Chris Evans is attempting to throw a very big spanner into Celebrity Big Brother and the very big spanner in question happens to be none other than Chris Eubank.



The first evictee was a guest of Chris Evans' Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio this Monday morning. And during the interview the merry prankster started scheming.

Here is an exact transcript of his plan:

Chris Evans: "We suggested Channel Four put in another hotline to vote people back in. And I will pledge £10,000 if Channel 4 let Chris (Eubank) run in, with a white sheet over his head at 4am, screaming in there! Would you do that? You've got to get back in that house! And if they don't let you in, I will pledge £50,000 to you for Comic Relief to break in yourself! We'll get a helicopter to drop you in, or the SAS to break in for Comic Relief! Get in there son!!"

Chris Eubank: "The thing is, there're vicious guard dogs outside but I'm sure I have so much good karma they will be like puppies!"

Big Brother spoke to Chris Evans' publicist on hearing the news and she confirmed, "He's definitely serious. He thinks it will be really funny."

So Chris come and have a go if you think you're hard enough. But be warned, after Jack Dee's escape in the early hours of Sunday morning, security at the Big Brother house has been stepped up.

Celebrity Big Brother is a Bazal Production for Channel 4, Comic Relief and the BBC.
