Megas Adelphos?

The Sun has the scoop on the next ‘Big Brother’ (UK presumably) episode:

As part of a Greek themed shopping challenge two housemates must dress up like the father and son team for a performance. [sc. Stavros Flatley ~ ed.]

Greek Irish fusion dancers Demetrios Demetriou, 40, and son Lagi, 13, will provide the pair with an instructional DVD to make sure they get the steps just right.

An independent judge will rate the two housemates’ performance of the River Dance track Cry of the Celts later today.

Other housemates will take on the roles of ancient Greek gods including Zeus and Atlas.

And one contestant will take the role of either Aphrodite or Eros and record a singles video telling the world they are looking for love.

Big Brother viewers will then be able to bid for a date with them through the show’s website.

Slightly less majestic roles include posing as Greek presidential guards while three other housemates will have to run a 24-hour kebab van.

In case you’ve never seen Stavros Flatley:
