Following on from the huge success of Big Brother 2023, which saw the show return to our screens for the first time in five years, we now have Big Brother 2024 dishing out drama on ITV2 and ITVX.
It was announced during the Love Island 2024 live final that the show would be returning to ITV for a second run, and with it came the first look at the rebranded famous Big Brother eye, which is just as bright and colourful as always, but this time on a yellow background.
Here's everything we know about Big Brother 2024...
Big Brother 2024 release date
Big Brother 2024 started on Sunday, October 6 at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX with the Big Brother: Live Launch.
Big Brother airs nightly at 9 pm (except Saturdays) for six weeks and the Big Brother Live Eviction episodes air on Friday evenings in the same 9pm slot.
Big Brother: Late & Live is also back on ITV2 and ITVX each evening, bringing us unmissable action alongside hilarious discussions and deliberations with a star-studded panel of celebrity guests.
Big Brother: Live Stream has also returned, airing seven nights a week on ITVX, allowing fans to watch live footage from the house into the small hours after Big Brother: Late & Live.
Big Brother 2024 housemates
16 new housemates have now entered the house all hoping to scoop the life-changing cash prize of £100,000.
When they arrived at the house, each housemate was asked to choose the red side or blue side. One side of the divide are housemates, and the other side are non-housemates. Non-housemates do not live in the Big Brother house and will face the first eviction.
The red team includes Lily, Emma, Daze, Martha, Dean, Sarah, Marcello, Thomas, Nathan, Hanah and Rosie who now all live in storage.
Meanwhile, the blue team - Ali, Izaaz, Khaled, Segun and Ryan - now live in the luxurious Big Brother house.

Big Brother 2024 hosts
After proving popular with viewers last year, TV presenter and Strictly Come Dancing 2021 star AJ Odudu and her close friend and Dance, Dance, Dance presenter, Will Best, are back.
The pair usually split hosting duties on the main show, chatting to housemates about all the latest goings-on in the Big Brother house and presiding over the live evictions.
Speaking of their favorite moments from Big Brother history Will said: “David’s Dead”. It had it all. It was hilarious, dramatic, tragic, poignant…all in one rollercoaster reality TV episode. AJ added: My favourite moment of all time is the legendary housemate Nikki Grahame’s iconic outbursts; God rest her soul. She gave us unforgettable diary room moments like ‘Who is she?’ and ‘the mountain of cornflakes’. It doesn’t get more iconic than that."
Marcus Bentley (the original voice of Big Brother UK) has also returned as the series' narrator.
Is there a trailer for Big Brother 2024?
Yes, the trailer, which was released on Friday, September 13 sees guinea pigs making themselves at home in the Big Brother house. As the fluffy friends make a mess of the new house, the camera pans out to see AJ and Will watching their every move.
A teaser trailer was released over the summer and revealed a first look at the Big Brother eye logo - which this series is made out of marbled paint.
