Everyone’s favourite original reality TV series is returning for the first time in five years.
Big Brother has been revived once more after a few years away, as housemates will be filmed for six weeks, providing entertainment for the nation.
Along with some changes, there will be a new presenting duo - AJ Odudu and Will Best will front the programme as well as Big Brother: Late & Live.
The pair have previously worked together on 4Music’s Trending Live.
Will told The Evening Standard: “It feels amazing to be working together.”
“I’m so lucky to work with Will,” agreed AJ.
The Strictly Come Dancing star continued to say: “He’s funny, he’s supportive and the fact that we get to share this experience together makes it so much more exciting than it already is.”
How much do Big Brother hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best get paid?
It’s yet to be revealed how much the new Big Brother hosts will earn on the new ITV reboot.
However, back in the day former presenter Davina McCall reportedly earned £70,000 a week for fronting the show, according to The Mirror.
It has also never been disclosed how much Emma Willis pocketed for her Big Brother presenting duties when she replaced Brian Dowling in 2013 until the show was axed in 2018.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
