To celebrate the \u201ctelevision event of the year\u201d and the return of the series, Big Brother: The Launch will air on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX in a multi-channel and streaming takeover. The remainder of the series will be available nightly at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX (apart from Saturdays).<\/p>\n

The launch show will see a new cast of housemates from all walks of life become the first people to stay in the new Big Brother house.<\/p>

Much like before, all the action will go down in the Big Brother house, with eccentric tasks, nominations and live evictions returning.<\/p>\n

Each night, the show will be followed by Big Brother: Late & Live, hosted by Odudu and Best from the site of the Big Brother house in front of a live audience. Big Brother: Late & Live will be the only place to watch the evictees first live interviews. The show will also feature celebrity guests, debates and weekly nomination results.<\/p>\n

Alongside Odudu\u2019s announcement, Best said: \u201cI grew up with Big Brother, so getting a chance to host it with my mate AJ is a dream come true. I can\u2019t wait to tell some housemates not to swear.\u201d<\/p>\n
