Big Brother UK will return in October 2024, just a few weeks away!
Big Brother made a grand comeback last year and fans loved every minute of the nostalgic reality TV show, which returned for a celebrity edition earlier this year.
And once again Big Brother, the civilian series, is back for 2024 and the start date has been set as Sunday 6th October, just a few weeks away!
Last year’s series gave us gems like Yinrun, Henry and Jordan, who won the show and bagged himself a boyfriend, but when is Big Brother coming back in 2024 and when does it start? Read on for everything you need to know.
Big Brother starts on Sunday 6th October, ITV have now confirmed!
In a statement the channel said: "The wait is almost over as today ITV revealed that Big Brother, the original social experiment, is set to return for a new series on Sunday 6th October at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
"Hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best, Big Brother: Live Launch will reveal a new batch of housemates as they prepare to take up residence in the nation’s most iconic house, which has been given a fresh lick of paint ahead of the new series."
It adds: "Expect gripping nominations, elaborate tasks, live evictions plus new twists and turns with all the must-see action playing out inside this famous abode. The public once again holds all the cards, voting throughout the series and ultimately deciding who will leave this experience with a life changing cash prize. Who wins? You decide."
In the latest teaser shared on Friday 13th September, showing guinea pigs in a small-scale version of the iconic Big Brother house, the channel confirmed the new series will begin in October.
It's rumoured Big Brother will return for six weeks airing Sunday to Friday with nightly episodes of Late & Live as well as an online stream.
Some diehard fans of the show have since expressed their disappointment the show isn’t on for longer, hoping for an eight-week long series instead of eight.
Big Brother set for 2024
In the coming weeks fans are expecting to hear more news about the upcoming series, as the nation prepares to get to know a brand new line-up of hopefuls prepared to be watched and listened-to 24 hours a day.
The show’s hosts Will Best and AJ Odudu are expected to return to the show, after the presenting duo went down a storm with viewers, who have seen the likes of Emma Willis, Davina McCall and Brian Dowling front the show in the past.
Last year's series, the show's grand return after five years off air, saw Jordan Sangha announced as the winner after he and housemate Henry Southan struck up a relationship on the show which captured viewers' hearts.
