CELEBRITY Big Brother chiefs have ordered this year’s stars to watch the last hate-filled series to teach them how to avoid offending viewers.

Tears ... Shilpa Shetty was bullying victim

And they have held one-on-one meetings with EVERY one of the 11 contestants, warning them not to step out of line.

Bosses are still reeling from 2007’s race row series, which saw 50,000 people complain about Jade Goody’s bullying of Bollywood babe Shilpa Shetty.

Executive producer Sharon Powers said: “We told everyone to look on YouTube and sent them DVDs. We’ve spoken to them all in detail about what the boundaries are.”

But producers stopped short of a swearing ban.

The Shilpa bullying, which also involved model Danielle Lloyd and singer Jo O’Meara, forced Channel 4 to axe the show this year and earned the channel a rebuke from TV watchdogs

House of love

That's such a soaper idea ... Big Brother bosses have installed a luxurious new four-person bath in the hope it will encourage celebrity romance - so they don't have to pull the plug

After the Shilpa Shetty-Jade Goody race row in 2007, bosses are looking for a heartwarming story to grip the nation when Celebrity BB returns on Friday.

Tipped ... LaToya Jackson

The 2006 series — which saw fake celeb Chantelle Houghton fall for singer Preston — is regarded as the best at Channel 4 HQ and bosses are desperate for a return to form.

A programme source told TV Biz: “The snug is designed for flirting. It’s fitted with romantic lights and strewn with sensual throws and cushions. A love triangle would be ideal.”

Celebrity Big Brother was rested last year following the race row.

A new Celebrity Hijack format was brought in on E4, but it flopped, with an average of just 600,000 viewers.

Other new features in the Celeb BB complex this time include a jail for misbehaving stars, an outdoor toilet and exercise bikes.

Contestant ... Ulrika Jonsson

Our source added: “The house is similar to the BB9 house but everything’s bigger and better. We have kept the heaven and hell theme. One bedroom is very basic, the other is luxurious.”

A larger nominations pod will also allow two celebs at a time to discuss their feelings. The source said: “Stars never used to be able to discuss nominations but it makes great telly to see them bitch about each other.”

This year’s contestants will be revealed on Friday’s show at 9pm.

They will include Ulrika Jonsson and ex-Sugababe Mutya Buena. LaToya Jackson and Scottish MSP Tommy Sheridan are also tipped to appear
