Big Brother 2017 launch under fire from angry fans for THIS controversial Diary Room chair
BIG BROTHER viewers have already been left disappointed with Channel 5's latest Diary Room chair offering after a snap of the refurbished room was revealed ahead of tonight's launch show.
Big Brother teases new housemates in steamy trailer
The "budget" floral armchair looks as though it could be purchased from a high street shop, whereas previous series have seen futuristic and uniques chairs that wouldn't be seen anywhere else.
Big Brother's all new Diary Room chair is "befitting a picture perfect British village" surrounded by grass and a countryside backdrop.
One disappointed fan tweeted to ask: "Is it from a skip? The amount of effort that usually goes into the chair… then this."
"I like the background but the chairs like me Nan's couch," teased another.

A third mocked the chair, posting: "Woah they've pushed the boat out a bit."
Other fans of the show were pleased with the new look, with many agreeing that it "fitted the theme" for 2017.
One viewer even gushed: "Fits the theme! I actually quite like it lol. Wouldn't want the chair in my house in a million years but it works. Love the grass! #bbuk."
It comes as Channel 5 announced their launch show twist, with Big Brother handing over power to the public for the first time ever.
There will be one final housemate position up for grabs from a selection of candidates, with the public deciding during tonight’s live launch.
The lucky housemate voted in by the public will become the people’s housemate and will hold great power within the house, even having access to the outside world.
Big Brother starts tonight on Channel 5 at 8.30pm.
