Big Brother hosts announced as AJ Odudu and Will Best

Big Brother has announced presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best as new hosts of the show.

The new series will launch exclusively on ITV2 as part of a rebrand, bringing the original reality television show back to screens for a new generation of fans.

Davina McCall, Bryan Dowling and Emma Willis all spearheaded the show as presenters over its two-decade run but Big Brother has just announced two new faces ready to tackle the job.

AJ Odudu and Will Best will team up for the role, kicking off the first double instalment of presenters in the show's history. It's not clear yet whether or not sister programme Big Brother: Bit on the Side will return or who could possible host.

Breaking the news, the Big Brother Twitter account said: "This is Big Brother. @AJOdudu and @iamwillbest please come to the diary room... Meet your brand new Big Brother hosts Coming soon to ITV2 and @ITVX #BBUK."

AJ said: “I’m so excited to finally be able to say that, yes: I’m hosting Big Brother! I couldn't be happier. Following in the footsteps of some of my favourite broadcasting legends to front such an iconic show is an absolute honour - and to do it alongside my amazing friend Will is the icing on the cake.”

Will said: “I grew up with Big Brother so getting a chance to host it with my mate AJ is a dream come true. I can't wait to tell some housemates not to swear.”

The new series is expected to return in autumn.
