Channel 5 announced today that Carol McGiffin will join the Celebrity Big Brother team as head panelist on Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit On The Psych. Carol came 4th in the last series of Celebrity Big Brother and is an experienced broadcaster and journalist. She was most widely known for her time as a regular panelist on Loose Women, which she quit last summer and sensationally announced in her Sunday People column upon entry into the CBB house last summer.

Carol McGiffin comments: “When I was in the house I was a straight talker, and it will be the same on Bit On The Psych. I’m really looking forward to getting inside the housemates heads and seeing what mates them tick”

Bit On The Psych will transmit on Saturday nights after the main show and will be co presented by Rylan Clark and Iain Lee. Iain Lee joined the Big Brother team last summer as a regular panelist on Bit On The Psych. An established radio and television broadcaster – Iain currently presents the BBC Three Counties Radio Breakfast Show and his other credits include Inside Out London and The 11 O’Clock Show.

The news of McGiffin’s inclusion followed the release of the official ‘Big Brother Eye’ for the series [below].
