The pair said they are “so excited” for it. <\/p>
If there was one thing Big Brother fans were unhappy about last year, it was the pre-recorded launch show \u2013 which saw the contestants exit out of a limo and file into the new house one-by-one.<\/p>\n
But now, it has been revealed that the Celebrity Big Brother<\/a> launch show will be live this time out \u2013 and that\u2019s down to the fans!<\/p>\n Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press ahead of the series launch, hosts AJ Odudu<\/a> and Will Best<\/a> explained last year it \u201cmade sense from an edit point of view\u201d to film the launch as-live, but not anymore.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s so exciting that the launch show is gonna be live,\u201d Odudu said. \u201cThe Big Brother fans wanted it live.
