ITV bosses have confirmed two new hosts for the Big Brother comeback, which will air on ITV2 and ITVX later this year.
The reality show’s comeback has been welcomed by fans, ever since the programme ended on Channel 5 in 2018.
Now the show has been revamped by ITV and will see duo AJ Odudu and Will Best as the new presenters for the show when it airs later this year.

The pair will share the iconic hosting role on the main show, presiding over the weekly evictions and quizzing housemates on all of the goings on inside the house.
The duo will also host an additional nightly live show debating all the hot topics inside the house, including the day’s events and tasks.
Discussing their new roles, AJ said: “I’m so excited to finally be able to say that, yes: I’m hosting Big Brother! I couldn’t be happier. Following in the footsteps of some of my favourite broadcasting legends to front such an iconic show is an absolute honour – and to do it alongside my amazing friend Will is the icing on the cake.”
Co-host Will added: “I grew up with Big Brother so getting a chance to host it with my mate AJ is a dream come true. I can’t wait to tell some housemates not to swear.”
Paul Mortimer, Director of Reality Commissioning for ITV2 and ITVX, said: “AJ and Will really are our perfect pairing as we prepare to reintroduce Big Brother to the next generation. With a genuine chemistry, both of them will bring effortless wit, charm and heaps of character to their roles and we’re delighted to be working with them both again.”

Casting for the show is still ongoing, with housemates being announced later this year.
