Producers are planning for two housemates to get married inside the Big Brother house, a report has claimed.

The Daily Star says legalities are being checked ahead of the eighth series, beginning on June 1, for either a straight or gay partnership.

A source said it would add interest to the show. He explained: "They’ve had a pretend marriage before for a task but never the real thing. You can bet a few of them will be tempted.

"They want to have it in the house, but if that’s not possible the lucky couple will be blindfolded and whisked to a secret location.

"Even designs for wedding dresses have been drawn up. The show wants them on the skimpy side to make sure it’s a day to remember.

"Of course, if two lads are saying 'I do' the dress will stay on the hanger. But the lads will be offered the chance to wear kilts instead."
