Big Brother 'to revive iconic feature' central to show’s most infamous moment

Big Brother is set to bring back an iconic feature which helped created one of the show's most talked-about moments.

The hot tub is ready to return, pictures show, as viewers hope there could be more saucy antics when reality programme returns to our screens. Images of the still under-construction set clearly show a jacuzzi placed in the garden and it is sure to get fans talking.

Famously, Makosi Musambasi romped with 2005 winner Anthony Hutton in the Big Brother tub and it lead to pregnancy claims - even though the Geordie denied they ever had sex in the water. Anthony also got very close with Orlaith McAllister as they splashed around.

Fans will also remember Michelle Bass screaming “No Naked Jacuzzi-ness” in 2004 when boyfriend Stuart was getting involved with other girls. Those who loved the raunchy scenes will hope for more of the same when the cameras start rolling again.

“The hot tub is almost as important a part of the house as the Diary Room," a source told the Sun. “Fans will be delighted it’s being reinstated, particularly as some of the biggest controversies seemed to centre around it.”

“There was the fear the producers may have lost some much-loved elements in their big show reboot. But they clearly see the tub as a key part of the BB infrastructure and a potential source of mischief in the new series!”

Anthony teased a Big Brother return after saying his spent all his reality TV cash on flash cars and taking pals on trips to Las Vegas – leaving him in a 'dark place'. The legendary social experiment is set to return to our screens on ITV2 and the 2005 winner has opened up on his life after winning the £50,000 prize and splashing his mega money post-show cash.

He told OK! Magazine he so nearly lost the chance to go on the programme after being unsure if he should answer his phone to an unknown number. Thinking it may have been a girl he's chatted to the night before, he's glad he picked up to producers.

“It was the morning after a night out when I received a call from an unknown number," he told the publication. "Thinking it would be a stranger I'd given my number to while out on the town, I nearly didn’t pick up. Luckily I did. That call changed my life.

“Big Brother was such an extreme taste of fame and it was a real novelty to have people know my name. I'm an extrovert, so I relished being in the spotlight. But for all the good, there was the bad and I remember one stranger punching me in the face because he didn’t like how I came across on the show. Luckily I have thick skin, so I brushed it off.

“I may have won my series, but for each new season my fame dwindled. Even though I was making less money, that didn’t stop me spending as if I was at the peak of my fortune. I knew I needed to get a job to make ends meet but I thought people would laugh at me if I did something more ‘normal’.

“As a result, I got into a really dark place where I was going out all of the time and drinking a lot. I was lucky to have a good support system which made me realise that getting another job wasn’t something to be ashamed of.“
