Goodbye, Brother

Brand to host one last BB spin-off

Russell Brand is returning to pass comment on Big Brother – despite having quit the Big Mouth spin-off.

The comic is to host a one-off E4 special about the show before the eighth series starts at the end of the month.

Big Brother: According To Russell Brand, promises ‘a surreal look at BB through the ages’ such as the idea that the show’s ‘eye’ logo ws modelled on Hi-De-Hi’s Su Pollard

The special will air on E4 at 11.05pm on May 25.

Last month, Brand announced he was quitting Big Brothers’ Big Mouth after three years.

The show, which attracted up to 1.4million viewers, was his first breakthrough after beating his heroin addiction and Brand thanked producers for ‘taking the risk of employing an ex-junkie twerp’.
