According to Ananova, Big Brother 3 has denied that the new housemates will have their movements restricted on eviction nights. It was reported that the new house staircase was designed to stop them glimpsing the outside world. In the past, contestants have gathered at the main door and been able to read banners among the crowd.

But a spokeswoman told Ananova, contestants would not be prevented from climbing the new staircase which will lead evicted housemates back into the outside world.

She said the staircase was "just part of the new design" and there was no restriction on the movement of the housemates inside the house at any time.
