Big Brother is back and so is one familiar voice. <\/p>
Big Brother is officially back for a new season, following five years off the air.<\/p>\n
The ITV reboot got underway on Sunday 8th October and we\u2019ve already seen the first housemate get evicted from the Big Brother house, as Farida<\/a>, 50, from Wolverhampton exited the show.<\/p>\n The Big Brother 2023 cast<\/a> will spend up to six weeks in the house and be tested in one of TV\u2019s biggest social experiments.<\/p>\n While the house, contestants and hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best<\/a> are new, one thing has remained the same \u2013 the show\u2019s narrator Marcus Bentley.<\/p>\n When the news of the Big Brother reboot was confirmed<\/a>, ITV\u2019s programming chief Kevin Lygo told the Broadcasting Press Guild he wanted Bentley back (as per The Mirror<\/a>), and fans breathed a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n Bentley then confirmed the news of his return in June this year. In a post to X, formerly known as Twitter, he wrote: \u201cJust a little bit of news over on TikTok\u2026 @bbuk fans are the best and most loyal possible. Thanks for all the support and I can\u2019t wait for the shenanigans to begin x.\u201d<\/p>\n Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Marcus Bentley.<\/p> The Big Brother narrator is Marcus Bentley, who has voiced over the show since 2000. His Teeside accent has become a staple of the show ever since he started.<\/p>\n Prior to the news of his return to the series, Bentley previously told RadioTimes.com<\/a> in an exclusive interview that he was \u201cquietly confident\u201d he would be asked back<\/a> to narrate the show.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cIt\u2019s very early days. I think it sounds like I am. I\u2019m getting calls from [producers] and they\u2019re going to keep me updated. But they haven\u2019t chosen anything.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\nWho is the Big Brother 2023 narrator?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
