As the new cast take the steps to the Big Bother for the next six weeks, just where exactly will they be calling home?

According to reports, Big Brother will be moving away from its previous spot at Elstree studios. After the final series in 2018, the house was demolished.

The new house is now be at Garden Studios, a newly-built studio in West London.

On Good Morning Britain – which airs from 6am on ITV during weekdays – this week, presenter Richard Arnold got a sneak preview of the snazzy new premises.

Taking viewers behind the scenes, Richard said: “The living area is absolutely vast. There are two huge sofas, it’s the biggest communal area that I’ve ever seen in a Big Brother house over the years.

“There’s a bath on a plinth. Initially they were going to have a clear bath but it would have to come from China and the key message here in the house this year is sustainability.”

Richard also showed viewers a water tank that will collect rainwater, “which undoubtedly ends up in the jacuzzi!”

He added: “The diary room is a sight to behold, it’s the biggest chair that I’ve ever seen.”

A TV insider told MailOnline: “Garden Studios is the ideal location for filming the new Big Brother series. Not only is it London-based, but it’s only been open for a year and promises the highest standard of production and also a commitment to sustainability.”

While the interior of the Big Brother house is yet to be revealed by ITV, there has been aerial footage of the house.

The images show the decor to be multicoloured, with one wall featuring the new eye logo, and a hot tub in the garden.

According to ITV News, the Big Brother house has been given a “contemporary new look”.
