Channel 4 has unveiled the new-look, headache-inducing, Celebrity Big Brother house.

Channel 4 has unveiled the new-look, headache-inducing, Celebrity Big Brother house.

Vivid orange carpets inside and flock-style wallpaper outside seem designed to jar on the contestants nerves.

There is little room to escape - the garden has shrunk in size because of the cold weather and the kitchen enlarged instead.

The outside space has been laid with artificial grass and decorated with topiary hedges. A wall at the back of the garden is decorated with thick patterned purple wallpaper, Fifties style gold-framed mirrors and panels containing silhouettes of chandeliers.

Inside, although there are no cameras in the toilets or showers, there are more one-way mirrors than ever before to keep an eye on the contestants.

The celebrities will share one bedroom which has been decorated with a dizzying swirling pattern. There are black and white swirls on the bedspreads, brown and cream swirls on the carpet, and the walls are pink and brown.

The living room has a bright orange carpet and blue and pink furniture. There is neon panel lighting in the ceiling and in the dining area there is an antique-style wooden table and matching stools.

The house, with glass walls throughout, has been reworked by designer Peter Gordon for the fourth series of the show, set to return next month.

Stars being lined up to appear are said to include MSP Tommy Sheridan, Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding, Baywatch's David Hasselhoff, Eighties pop star Adam Ant and glamour model Leilani Dowding.

Four former Big Brother contestants - plastic surgery fan Lea Walker, Glaswegian Shahbaz Chaudhry, runner-up Glyn Wise and "Spiral" Coroner - will reappear as roving reporters outside the house.
