"Big Brother house, this is Davina, you are live on Channel 4, please do not swear" is possibly the most iconic reality TV phrase of all time and a sentence that still gives us the excitement-shivers whenever we watch an old clip. Big Brother was the original reality show and ran for 18 years, first on Channel 4 and then latterly it moved to Channel 5, before being axed in November 2018.
Ever since the sliding doors closed for the final time, there's been a massive eye-shaped hole in the reality TV landscape which is why the recent rumours that the show might be making a comeback has got us excited all over again.
The Sun has reported that a TV source says Big Brother set to return in 2023 and this time, it will find a new home on ITV. The source said: “ITV is the home of big appointment telly. They know better than anyone how to put on big live events. Putting it on ITV2 will open it up to a new audience and legion of younger fans. They are really keen on getting the deal done on Big Brother, and hope to have something firm to announce soon.
