Gavin & Stacey & Big Brother

Reality role for BBC3 stars

Gavin & Stacey stars James Corden and Matthew Horne will front Big Brother's Big Mouth when it returns in January.

The actors hosted the E4 spin-off show for a week during the summer, and will now be doing the job permanently after the New Year.

They will be commenting on Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack – a new twist on the show, in which famous people will be issuing commands to the housemates as the voice of Big Brother. And the young contestants have been chosen for their achievements in other walks of life such as music, politics or sport.

Russell Brand hosted Big Mouth from 2004, but gave it up this year, when he was replaced by a series of guest hosts includingChris Moyles , George Galloway and Russell Kane.
