Big Brother casting is officially underway as ITV are currently on the hunt for the best housemates ready to entertain the nation.

The beloved reality show gave us the likes of Alison Hammond and Adele Roberts, and even let viewers into sides of Gemma Collins and Rylan Clark that hadn’t been seen before, thanks to the Celebrity spin-off version.

Now, a new cast of housemates from across the country and all walks of life will be homed in a brand new Big Brother house, with the eyes of the nation on them across the six weeks.

Announcing the news, ITV wrote: ‘Big Brother is looking for the nation’s most interesting, funny and entertaining characters who come from every corner of the country.

‘The final cast of housemates will live under the watchful eye of Big
Brother, and the nation, for up to six weeks with cameras capturing their every move.

‘Over the course of the show, they’ll face a series of clever tasks, nail-biting nominations and live evictions, with the public once again playing a crucial role, voting throughout the series and ultimately determining the winner.’

Since the news, there’s been a constant torrent of speculation regarding who will front the programme, with people including Alison Hammond, Maura Higgins and AJ Odudu.

Former host Emma Willis recently ruled herself out from presenting the upcoming series of Big Brother, having presented the show for five years.

‘You know, I loved my time on the show, and I very much kind of said goodbye to it back then because we thought it was over.

‘I don’t tend to go back. I like to move forward.’

She continued: ‘I think it’s right. It’s starting again, it’s got a new home – it should have a new host.’

Big Brother returns next year on ITV2.
