Big Brother is back with an event 21 years in the making next week.
A total of 21 new and returning housemates, ranging in age from 22-52, will enter the custom-built house throughout the season with the aim of surviving every eviction and living together for 62 days. They’ll be cut off from the outside world with cameras and microphones recording their every move for 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
With toe-curling panic room tasks, fabulous dinner parties, twisted punishments, agonising challenge and plenty of Big Brother bombshells, avoiding eviction will require wit, determination, stamina and a bulletproof strategy.
Will a returning housemate be able to survive all the way to the end? Or will a first-time housemate pave the way for a new look Big Brother winner?
