ITV also added that the ‘nail-biting nominations and live evictions will be back’, as the public will once again take on the responsibility of determining who walks away with a life-changing cash prize.

Of course, as the show has a revamp, so will the house, as the famous property is set to undergo a huge makeover.

Sharing his excitement about Big Brother’s return, Paul Mortimer, director of Reality Commissioning & Acquisitions and Controller at ITV2, ItvBe & CITV said: "This refreshed, contemporary new series of Big Brother will contain all the familiar format points that kept viewers engaged and entertained the first time round, but with a brand new look and some additional twists that speak to today's audience."

"We're beyond excited to bring this iconic series to ITV2 and ITVX where it should especially engage with our younger viewers," he added.

There is yet to be confirmation on who will be hosting the reboot, however, Mo Gilligan has previously been tipped to be taking over hosting duties.

Big Brother has previously seen presenters Emma Willis and Davina McCall host the show.
