James Jordan and his fellow CBB All Stars have been given a secret task – and fans love it.
The All Stars celebrities were invited to become producers of the show and “edit” someone out of the programme over the first few days.
They were taken to a separate room to watch their fellow housemates arrive and decide who was worth editing out.
On Twitter, fans’ interest has been piqued.
