Viewers make same demand as ITV confirms launch date for Big Brother revival

Big Brother fans have made the same demand as ITV confirmed its Big Brother revival will launch next week.

The much-anticipated reboot will hit screens on Sunday October 8, the channel has confirmed. The reality series will air every night on ITVX, five years after it was axed by Channel 5 amid a ratings slump.

Big Brother: The Launch will see a new cast of “carefully selected housemates from all walks of life” arrive at the brand-new house in front of a live studio audience. ITV said the famous house featuring a “contemporary new look” will see the return of tasks, nominations and live evictions with the voting public playing a “crucial role” through the series – before voting for the winner of the show.

The revival will see TV stars AJ Odudu and Will Best follow in the footsteps of former Big Brother presenters Davina McCall, Emma Willis and Brian Dowling, who all presented the popular programme during its 18-year reign on British TV. Odudu and Best will host Big Brother: Late & Live each night in front of a live studio audience after the show has aired, which will feature the evictees first live interview, as well as celebrity guest commentary and weekly nomination results.

Big Brother: Live Stream also makes its return to screens, showing footage from the all-new house into the small hours every night on ITVX after Big Brother: Late & Live.
