ITV confirms Big Brother launch date and it’s sooner than you think

It has been confirmed that Big Brother is set to return on Sunday 6 October on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm.

Everybody's favourite reality show will be hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best.

The first episode, Big Brother: Live Launch will introduce viewers to the newest lineup of housemates as they say goodbye to the outside world in favour of the iconic house.

Viewers can expect the same high-tension nominations, new tasks, live evictions and the jaw-dropping twists we all know and love.

Big Brother: Late & Live will also be returning to ITV2 and ITVX.

Viewers will be able to watch along to see exclusive footage from inside the house and listen to panels of famous faces discussing the latest drama, as well as the first interviews of evicted housemates.

Big Brother: Live Stream will also return to our screens every night of the week on ITVX, for those who just can't get enough of the shenanigans.
