As a present for his 23rd Birthday, lucky Big Brother housemate Liam was treated to a reading from the newest Harry Potter novel.

A Channel 4 spokeswoman said: “Liam asked if Big Brother would read to him and, in a rare moment of generosity, Big Brother agreed.

“Lucky for Liam, Big Brother had a place on the waiting list for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”

But in a typical BB twist, BB only read aloud the pages that give away the book’s secrets — including which characters died and how it ended.

Then Liam was banned from telling the other housemates.
