Rylan Clark-Neal says the final series of 'Big Brother' nearly featured a coup full of live chickens. The 31-year-old TV presenter has revealed producers of the show were open to the idea of reintroducing domesticated fowl to the house in 2018, but the plan was scuppered at the last moment for logistical reasons.
Rylan - who previously won and hosted 'Celebrity Big Brother' - wrote on Twitter: "We were SO CLOSE to having chickens back for the final series, but at the last min their "performers licenses" fell through.
TRUE STORY [laughing emojis] #bbuk (sic)" The first-ever series of 'Big Brother' featured live chickens and Les Dennis famously turned to the birds for comfort during his stint in the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house.
