Big Brother viewers 'to pick wild card contestant'
Viewers of this year's Big Brother will reportedly be able to pick one wild card entrant to join the already-selected housemates.
Producers are narrowing down a list of 'some of the crazier wannabes' who will be presented to the public after the first contestants enter the house, the Daily Star reports.
A source told the newspaper: "For years, fans have said that they want to choose housemates for the show and now they've got their chance.
"The wild cards will be characters who will stir things up and set the sparks flying."
They continued: "The lucky few will be brought out and do a Vote For Me piece to camera to explain why they should be chosen. Then it's down to the public.
"This lucky person stands a good chance of possibly winning. If viewers have picked them and they live up to expectations then they should be favourites to win."
A similar "Big Brother Election" was held during the second series of the show in 2001.
Despite being a 15-1 outsider with the bookies, Josh was chosen by the public to enter the house.
Josh eventually came sixth after he was evicted on the 50th day of the series.
