Celebrity Big Brother may be canceled this January, but Channel 4 have to pay the bills somehow. They have announced today that they will be making a new show, in the BB vein, called Celebrity Hijack.

In the new show to air on E4, Big Brother himself will be replaced by a bunch of celebrities. These A (?) listers will devise tasks and punishments for a group of 18-21 year olds living together in a house full of cameras. Sound familiar?

A network spokesperson said: “Big Brother Celebrity Hijack will see a host of different celebrities take on the Big Brother mantle, providing their own unique spin as they interact with the housemates as the voice of Big Brother.

“In addition to acting as the voice of Big Brother, the celebrities will also be involved in setting the housemates’ tasks, talking to them in the diary room, making up their own rules and generally causing havoc. Viewers will be able to watch the celebrities in action, as they take on the Big Brother role.”
