BIG Brother bosses are hiding a deep secret about this year's house - there's a mysterious basement hidden away.

TV chiefs have spent months redesigning the house to create the secret floor.

The basement, accessed by a secret spiral staircase, could be turned into a themed room, including:

* A dirty dungeon where housemates will be punished for breaking rules
* A luxury hotel suite where one lucky couple could win a night to live like a celebrity
* A spa filled with pampering products and a fitness centre
* A sports arena kitted out with a five-a-side football pitch

The basement came to light came when Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles, 34, who will be presenting Big Mouth, let slip that when he visited the house he was annoyed producers would not allow him to go downstairs.

Quizzed about the secret floor on his show he said: "Oops, let's move on."
But C4 bosses haven't actually decided when or if they will use the basement.

A show insider said: "The basement is just another bombshell we can drop on the gang whenever we want.Who knows what will trigger our decision to use it.

"And we can turn it into anything we want, which makes the possibilities endless."

It's not the only secret hideaway in this year's house - there are rumoured to be three tucked on to the side of the building set to be exposed throughout the summer.

They include a soundproofed room which will be used to sneak in boyfriends and girlfriends. The blinds will be pulled back and they will be able to see, but not speak to, their loved ones behind the glass.
