Jordan Sangha was declared the winner of the series, with Olivia Young finishing as runner-up and fans now have the chance to follow in their footsteps. According to the casting call, the second season of Big Brother will take place in autumn 2024. Applicants must be available for up to eight weeks of filming, reports the Mirror.
It’s been suggested that contestants will spend two of these weeks in quarantine or hiding before the show begins. The series is then expected to run for six weeks, or around 42 days. The previous series also ran for 42 days, while Channel 4’s version lasted up to 93 days. This week, the man behind the infamous Big Brother voice was revealed for the first time. During Fridays grand finale, guest star Oti Mabuse spilled the beans on the Late and Live spin-off show.
The Dancing on Ice judge posted a snap of herself with the lad behind the iconic voice on Instagram, saying: “Meeting actual Big Brother.” The news definitely surprised fans, with loads dropping comments that they had no clue what to expect of his appearance. One matey said: “I have no idea what I was expecting! But he looks really nice.”
Another added jokingly: “He’s so cute! ” and a third casually mentioned, “Crazy! ! I can’t imagine the voice coming out of that guy’s mouth.” Meanwhile, Celeb Big Brother victor David has been given the cold shoulder from fellow housemate and music impresario Louis Walsh since leaving the house. Despite earlier promises of staying in touch made while having a washroom chat with David and Bradley Riches, it seems Louis has forgotten all about it.
Louis had a chinwag on Hits Radio recently and spilled the beans about his celeb pals. He said: “[David] hasn’t got my number, I didn’t give him my number. He sings too much. He’s a nice guy [though].” He also shared that he swapped digits with Lauren from Real Housewives of Cheshire and bigged up Marisha Wallace from the West End. He added: “I gave my number to Lauren, and I loved Marisha, I loved her singing. She’s an amazing artist. She’s a really good singer and a great girl.”
