Presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best will return to host Big Brother and keep an eye on the goings on in the house, which has recently undergone a makeover. The show will be followed every night by Big Brother: Late & Live, which will provide an extra hour of content, including each evictee’s first live interview.

As if that wasn’t enough, the Big Brother: Live Stream will air every weeknight on ITVX, giving viewers a look into the house long into the night.

Big Brother host AJ Odudu becomes the ambassador for the RTS Bursary Scheme

The Big Brother host will meet and mentor scholars and attend bursaries events.

She said: “As someone who worked their way up and started my career with no connections in the TV industry, coming from a working-class background in Blackburn to finding my feet in the industry, I know how important being supported by such a prestigious institution will be for the recipients.

“I look forward to meeting the talented students and hearing all about their aspirations for the future.”

ITV announces major change to Celebrity Big Brother cast announcement

From Love Island’s Chloe Burrows, to Wagatha Christie victim Rebekah Vardy, to Reggae Reggae sauce creator Levi Roots, there are many rumours floating around social media as to who will be the next household names turned housemates. But fans will have to wait a little longer to lay these rumours to rest.  

ITV revealed via X (formerly Twitter) that the cast will only be announced live in the launch show – a major shake up from the 2023 civilian series, where the cast were pre-announced, and the show was pre-recorded.

The new series will air on ITV1 and STV, followed by hour-long companion show Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live every night on ITV2 and ITVX. Late & Live will feature evictees’ first live interview after leaving the Big Brother house, as well as debate and commentary from special guests.

The Celebrity Brother: Live Stream will make a comeback, showing live footage from the house long after Celebrity Big Brother: Late and Live. The livestream will air every night of the week on both ITVX and STV Player.
