BIG Brother bosses yesterday had to abandon a death-defying task they had plotted to spring on the remaining housemates.
The contestants were to have been lured to a gingerbread house secretly put up in the garden. One contestant was to have been invited inside the house - and the door locked behind them.
The walls would then have fallen away to reveal a metal cage which was to be winched into the air by a crane. And the only way the luckless housemate could have been released was if the other contestants turned down tempting treats such as alcohol, cigars and chocolate .
But the bizarre task was abandoned after Orlaith's shock exit threw the schedule into chaos.
