And the bumper batch of images released by Channel 5 today shows that they weren't kidding when they told us the show would have a recycling theme this year.

A blue entrance staircase leads to a room with a wall covered by old front doors, old filing cabinets are re-used as kitchen cupboards and there's even a "treehouse" to add a bit of a Swiss Family Robinson vibe.

A bank of old TV screens decorates the living room wall and kitchen stools are made from old bicycle saddles.

The vegetable patch makes a return to the show after a 10-year gap and it looks like housemates will be forced to wash outside - in a shower powered bya wheel.

But show bosses have teased that the house also includes hidden rooms - in keeping with this year's theme of "secrets and lies" - and there has even been mention of a hot tub.

The show starts this Thursday.
