BIG Brother is springing a brand new twist on the housemates in a bid to spice up the drama for fans.

The shake-up will see one person handed the role of Head Of House - and they will be able to make up new rules for everyone.

Big Brother host AJ Odudu announced the twist following the first eviction show of the series, which saw Ryan being given the boot.

Dropping the bombshell on spin-off show Big Brother: Late & Live, AJ said: "Big Brother has a new trick up his sleeve.

"Next week, one housemate will become the first Head Of House and with this role is a whole load of power and privileges."

She added: "Whoever has the Head Of House role will have immunity from that week's eviction. That's a big one."

After AJ had revealed the twist, she asked Celebrity Big Brother winner David Potts - who was a panelist on the show - what he thought.

David declared: "If Lily is not the Head Of House, I'm going to be furious.

"Imagine the rules that she would make!"

Evictee Ryan, who had just been interviewed about his brief spell on Big Brother, was then asked if he would have liked the role.

The rule-breaker, who contributed to the housemates losing their first shopping task by stealing a sausage, admitted: "Yeah, I'd have messed it up and gone hard with it."

Ryan had been up for eviction alongside Baked Potato - aka Rosie, Nathan and Dean.

The audience audibly booed when his name was called out by AJ and her co-host Will Best.

Once out of the house, Ryan said he had no regrets about stealing the sausage during Big Brother's Coconut Eye-land task.

Meanwhile, fans were left baffled during Friday night's episode of Late & Live following a major technical issue.

Seconds after revealing the twist, AJ and Will went to the studio audience to ask who they think should be Head Of House.

Instead of giving an answer to the question, one man said that Lily "should go because she's annoying".

The sound then immediately cut out, followed by the visual, and they were only restored in time for AJ and Will to sign off for the night.
