The latest gossip is if Big Brother 7 housemates want milk on their shredded wheat this year, then they are going to have to get it for themselves by milking their very own dairy cow.

A Big Brother insider told the Daily Star: “This is going to be a great surprise for the housemates. We’ve never had a cow before.�

It is thought that producers will give housemates some time to settle in before they are confronted with their cow.

Executive producer Phil Edgar Jones has said: “We have wanted to put a cow on the show for some time now.

�We were all geared up to put one in a few years ago during one of the celebrity Big Brother series because we wanted to see how the stars would cope with milking skills.

“But then there was a sudden outbreak of foot and mouth disease in the country and we just could not risk it, so the plan was dropped.�
