Beloved Big Brother veteran and Essex TV personality Rylan Clark gave us our biggest clue yet ahead of the news of Big Brother's return. The former Celebrity Celebrity Big Brother star and Big Brother's Bit on the Side presenter posted the picture on Instagram for his 1.5 m followers.
The snap was a picture of a personalised black key with his name on it and the Big Brother logo on top, Birmingham Live reports. The long-time reality show is potentially set to return on ITV2 in autumn next year, five years after it was axed on Channel 5.
The show started on Channel 4 in July 2000 with Davina McCall presenting the hit series before it was culled in 2010. Then it was revived on Channel 5 in 2011 with Big Brother legend Brian Dowling, who won the second and "Ultimate Big Brother", hosting before Emma Willis took over in 2013.

Rylan previously revealed in January that he would be up to present the "biggest and best" reality TV show once again. "One million per cent," the popular broadcaster said. The Stanford-Le-Hope native added: "Big Brother was like a child to me - doing Big Brother's Bit on the Side every night became like a lifestyle rather than a job.
"Big Brother changed my life completely - a proper 360 - and I miss it dearly and I just think if it was to come back now, it could come back the same but so different now." He added: "Just from a backstage point of view - the way it’s shot - the technology we have now and what we could do on an eviction night has changed so much over the last few years.
"It could be very very user interactive." A TV source told The Sun : “They think putting it on ITV2 will open it up to a new audience and legion of younger fans.
“The talks are still at an early, and delicate, stage and the next few weeks will be key. It needs the full treatment and they’re confident they are the ones who can return it to its legendary former glory."
