Big Brother is officially back and Jedward are throwing their hat into the ring to present the revived series.

After mountains of speculation that the reality show would be making a comeback, ITV finally confirmed during the Love Island final that a reboot will launch on ITV2 next year.

While a host for the programme has not yet been announced, some have already made it known that they would be keen to front it, including former presenter Rylan Clark, who teased his involvement.

Identical twin brothers Jedward also want their day in the sun and made their feelings known on social media.

Writing on Twitter, they wrote: ‘Big Brother UK 2023 we should definitely Host it. Iconic Housemates.’

The pair, real names John and Edward Grimes, appeared on the celebrity version of the show in 2011 and 2017.

They first appeared on Celebrity Big Brother 8, which was won by Paddy Doherty and saw Kerry Katona finish as runner-up.

The twins later returned to the house for Celebrity Big Brother 19 as All-Stars, finishing as runners-up to Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan.

Big Brother aired for 18 years in the UK until it was axed in 2018, but now it’s back with a bang.

The show will return in 2023 with a cast of ‘carefully selected housemates from all walks of life’ will live together for up to six weeks as the public watch on via the house’s network of surveillance cameras.

The show’s trademark live evictions will also return with the public once again voting throughout the series and ultimately deciding the winner of the cash prize.

It is not clear if the celebrity version will also return.

Paul Mortimer, director of reality commissioning and acquisitions and controller of ITV2, ITVBe and 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.
