Big Brother fans were beside themselves when the news broke that the show WILL be making a big TV return. The reality TV programme aired for a whopping 18 years in the UK, on both Channel 4 and Channel 5, until it was axed in 2018.
But following a five-year hiatus, the hit show is being revived by ITV, it has been confirmed. The news was revealed via a promotional video that aired during the Love Island series finale on ITV2 on Monday night (August 1).
The new series, which will air next year on ITV2, will see a cast of 'carefully selected housemates from all walks of life' live together for up to six weeks as the public watch via the house’s network of surveillance cameras. Big Brother’s trademark live evictions will also return with the public once again voting throughout the series and ultimately deciding the winner of the cash prize.
