What have Little Britain's Matt Lucas, Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, Ian Wright, Jimmy Carr, Joan Rivers and Bo Selecta's Keith Lemon all have in common? They've all signed up for that new "spin-off" Big Brother - Celebrity Hijack that starts January 3rd (9.00pm, E4). Funny how McLaren has managed to find the time to appear on this reality show (you might recall he scarpered from I’m a Celebrity just one day into the show). If you thought we were going to avoid this add annual blight on January thanks to Jade Goody (by way of Danielle Lloyd) on CBB last year, you were misled. Instead of having a load of below par celebrities shoved into a studio for three weeks, they’ve managed to get marginally better celebrities to act as Big Brother to a load of randomers shoved into a studio for a month. And here lies the second twist... these random housemates apparently have actual talents and will include "scientists, athletes, acrobats, and Mensa members." Which begs the question; WHY would a Mensa intellect be stupid enough to appear on this programme. I mean, look at the ridicule Dermot has to endure and he’s just a presenter. No wonder it's his last Big Brother job.
