Jack Whitehall hosts Big Brother's Big Mouth tonight and tomorrow 

Brilliant stand up comic newcomer Jack Whitehall, just 19 years old, has been given the role of host of BBBM for tonight's launch and tomorrow's show.  He has also been confirmed as host for a week later in the 13 week run of Big Brother.  Jack will be hosting the live forum show at 11.40pm tonight and tomorrow at 10pm.  

Jack, a much talked about rising star of comedy, will take the reins for the launch show (Thursday 5th June, 23:40 on E4) as well as Friday night's programme on E4 at 22:00. Jack worked as a child actor in various television dramas, but after leaving school he decided to pursue stand-up. Since debuting at last year's Edinburgh Fringe, Jack has gone on to win a host of new act competitions and is being hailed a star in the making.
