Channel 5 will be hoping to make history with this year's Big Brother series - with TWO houses.
According to reports there will be a second house at another site at the Elstree studios with double the trouble.
It's set to be a first for the series which viewers will be able to watch simultaneously.
A source told the Daily Star: "The two houses will basically run like two different series, meaning fans will get twice the fun."
There are plenty of twists and turns already been plotted by producers and it's thought that housemates will remain in the first house while the rival house will contain their relatives.

PA Presenters Rylan Clark and Emma Willis Could there be double the trouble this year?
The source added to the paper: "The idea would be to have a daughter in one house and her mum in the other but not tell either of them.
"It would be a big stunt but producers are determined to make it the best series ever."
There's even potential for the two houses to be combined later in the series making even bigger and better than ever before.

Housemates will be on the brink as the theme this year is “under attack” and there will be ominous forces at work trying to trip them up at every turn.

Big Brother 2016 is just days away now, and our anticipation is reaching boiling point. Not only do we now know that there will be not one, but two houses - now Channel 5 has given us a sneaky glimpse inside.
We're assuming all of these photographs are from the main house rather than the 'Other House' – but what does it all mean? We've been doing some analysis (and if you want a closer look, click on the pictures for a bigger version)...
THE LIVING AREA The Big Brother 2016 house - ANNOTATED
There's an awful lot going on here, so take a deep breath. While it might not look too different from previous layouts at first, is it just us or has the Diary Room moved? It now looks very much like the most important part of the house has shifted into the corner of the kitchen (we spy, with our little eye, an eye-shaped doorbell) [1].
Speaking of the Diary Room, it's got a seriously eye-catching door [2] (which we mainly love because the black and pink reminds us of our teenage emo days). More importantly, it ties into the new shattered eye design, and it has a very yin and yang feel about it. (Channel 5 has previously teased: "Viewers should prepare for a 'yin and yang'-style force to evolve Big Brother for a new generation. This force will affect the housemates for better or for worse.")
There's plenty more for us to analyse, too. There's a hell of a lot of black and white [3], from the floor to the cushions - that's something Channel 5 had hinted about too ("Whilst everything may appear to be black and white, that certainly won't be the case"). We're also dying to know what the doors under the stairs are [4], though it could be as simple as "a toilet" and "a storeroom".
The living room has its secrets too - is it just us, or is the top of the stairs (i.e. the entrance to the house) mostly hidden from view [5]? Could we be in for some surprise appearances? And it also looks very much like something is written on the dining table [6]... But what that is remains to be seen.
THE GARDEN The Big Brother 2016 house - ANNOTATED
To be honest, the main thing that struck us about this redesigned garden was that there is a pool and a jacuzzi [1], those jammy housemates. Other than that, the most striking thing so far is how little greenery there is - but it seems that the main patch of lawn actually forms the pupil of a big massive eye [2].
We also can't help but feel that the colours have to mean something. There's a red pool seat and a green pool seat [3] - one for stop and one for go? More importantly, the colours of the decking [4] tie perfectly into the new eye... But we also couldn't help thinking of the bright Big Brother 13 eye (although we will admit that this is probably entirely coincidental).
THE BATHROOM The Big Brother 2016 house - ANNOTATED
We're only getting to see one corner of the bathroom (and examining the mirrors for reflections isn't much help), but what we can tell is that it's seriously luxurious. Mind you, the housemates will probably need a deep bath with candles [1] after all the twists and tasks Big Brother will be chucking their way...
Other than that, it's the little details that have caught our eye, like the frankly terrifying faces on the toothbrush holders [2] - when you can't even brush your teeth without being creeped out, you know you're in trouble. The other striking thing about this bathroom is how much greenery there is - with bits of lawn on the ground [3] and fronds growing in from the ceiling [4] there's a bit of a sense of things not being where they should be... Gulp.
THE BEDROOM The Big Brother 2016 house - ANNOTATED
Brr, feeling claustrophic? Those dark colours [1] are making us feel seriously hemmed in - this is a gloomy bedroom, for sure. And it also has a '70s porn feel to us - though whether that's a good or a bad thing, we'll leave it to you to decide.
Sure, there's the odd nod to glamour here and there - a flash of neon [2], some glittery cushions [3] - but mostly this is a slightly terrifying room in which to lay your head. Take those dark flowers sprouting around the mirror [4] - they're a bit gothic, aren't they? It's giving us the shivers.
And, of course, we have to mention those duvet covers [5], which have a definite zebra theme to them. So what does that mean? It obviously ties in to the black and white ideas mentioned above - but we also can't help thinking about camouflage and survival of the fittest. Good luck, housemates.
Oh, and we obviously had to count the number of beds. We make it nine, with a mixture of doubles and singles - though there could be a tenth squirrelled away behind the corner. Basically, there's room for quite a few housemates.
THE BEDROOM TABLE The Big Brother 2016 house - ANNOTATED
Notice anything missing from the bedroom? Yep, there doesn't appear to be a dressing table - so are the days of fighting over hair straighteners long gone?
What there is, though, is this unusually-shaped table surrounded by stools [1]. Sure, this could be a place for the housemates to sit - and there could even be hairdryers and curling tongs hidden in that hole in the middle - but we can't help but feel like the table is there for a reason. Could this be a venue for house meetings? For face-to-face nominations? For something we haven't even CONSIDERED?
Of course, there are also plenty of decor details worth noting too - that design on the carpet [2] reminds us so much of roots that look ready to rise up and entangle unsuspecting housemates (be on your guard, folks). And as for that cheeky monkey fiddling with the light fitting [3], we can't help but hope that Big Brother's getting ready for some naughty tricks and pranks...
OMG! This is where all my programmes get messed up . Have to get studying the tv choice and start seeing what I can record and move around ,I know I'll have to watch it ,can't help myself lol....
This years chair (I don't like it) ps please read all
sorry if it looks like I've got bb ocd lol
I have Aspergers (this means I can name everyone that ever been in the house) but the downside is I sometimes find it hard to talk face to face with people I don't know or I talk too much to people I like and also find it hard to tell face to face peoples feeling, so if I go on abit about big brother I hope you'll understand why xxx
