Celebrity Hijack The Ultimate Guide!
It wouldn’t be the New Year without Big Brother and this year Channel 4 have come up with a new twist on a now old concept! Celebrity Hijack is due to replace Celebrity Big Brother in early January on Channel ’s sister channel E4.
What Is Celebrity Hijack?
Celebrity Hijack is Big Brother with a twist! Instead of an anonymous voice ruling over a group of (usually crazy) housemates, this year a group of probably crazy celebrities will be running the show instead. The celebrities will take it in turn to play the role of Big Brother, setting rules, tasks and punishments for the chosen few.
