‘Big Brother’ bosses have unveiled this year’s Diary Room chair, and it’s fair to say it’s an unusual choice. 

The Channel 5 reality show’s confessional has been given a make-over, in keeping with the series’ ‘Best Of British’ theme. 

The chair is befitting of a picture perfect British village, covered in floral print and set in a field, complete with fake grass and a blossom tree.
