Inside the Celebrity Big Brother house: Channel 5 releases pictures of the new muted set

Producers have opted for a subdued look this year

Pictures of the all new Celebrity Big Brother house have been revealed ahead of the launch show.

This year the Elstree studio has been styled as a celebrity retreat so the interiors are more muted than usual.

The walls of the living room and bedrooms have been painted turquoise and mint green, while the bedrooms feature purple or pink finishes.

It’s a big departure from previous series where pop-art and vaudeville themes have seen the house decked out in gaudy colours.

The iconic diary room is missing from the snaps, as with just hours to go before the launch, the room still isn't finished.

Earlier on Tuesday Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Arnold took viewers on a first look tour of the new studio.

“Normally the Big Brother house pummels your finer sensibilities and dashes your finest preconceptions with a lot of blaring, glaring colours and comedy props. Not so, very muted tones this year,” Arnold commented.

The presenter also explained he didn't have accesss to the diary room as it is yet to be completed.

“Given the fact that the ink isn’t dry on a lot of the celebrity contracts, that room isn’t even finished either. That’s how close we are to the wire tonight,” he said.

As the producers gave themselves just days to give the studio a complete overhaul following the end of the civilian show last week, it’s hardly surprising they’ve struggled to get it finished on time.

The line-up for the upcoming series has yet to be officially confirmed but stars tipped to enter the house include Shaun Williamson, better known as Barry from EastEnders, former Girls Aloud member Sarah Harding and Gogglebox’s Sandi Bogle.

The new series of Celebrity Big Brother launches tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.
