Production

In April 2022, it was reported in several tabloid newspapers that ITV Studios were in talks with production company Banijay, who own the rights to Big Brother, to revive the series in 2023, following a five-year hiatus.[1][2] On 1 August 2022, during the final of the eighth series of Love Island, a 20-second teaser trailer aired on ITV2, with ITV subsequently confirming that the show would return for a new series in 2023. ITV are the third network to gain the rights to the series, following the cancellations of the show on Channel 4 and Channel 5 in 2010 and 2018 respectively.[3][4][5]

Following the announcement of the series, Paul Mortimer, the director of Reality Commissioning and Acquisitions 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 [...] We’re beyond excited to bring this iconic series to ITV2 and ITVX where it should especially engage with our younger viewers."[6][7] Ian Katz, the chief content officer for Channel 4, who originally broadcast the show from 2000 until 2010 said of the show's revival that whilst it was a "wonderful show" [...] that "there [was] something depressing about this microwave moment of TV of shows being reheated."[8][9]

Speaking at the Edinburgh International Television Festival, Kevin Lygo, the Managing Director of Media and Entertainment at ITV said that the success of Love Island influenced the network's decision to recommission Big Brother, saying that "We look at Love Island and we see this extraordinarily successful show that defies all current logic and goes against what people say, that young people don’t watch terrestrial television."[10] However, he noted that the series was unlikely to "skew [an audience] as young as Love Island does" due to the former show's legacy, and called it "arguably the sort of best thing there's ever been on television, or most extraordinary thing, that shaped most television afterwards".[11][12] Lygo also added that the key to Big Brother was to keep it like it was in its "golden period".[13]

Former hosts Davina McCall and Emma Willis declined rumours of hosting the revival but said that they were happy to see its return.

Davina McCall, who presented the programme on Channel 4 from the show's inception until its original cancellation in 2010, ruled out a return as presenter. She stated that although she "loved the show with all her heart" and had the best 11 years of [her] life [...] and that whoever [hosts the show]... she [would] be supporting it with every fibre in her body", she added that she didn't think it would be her [presenting].[14][15] McCall later stated in an interview on Radio X that she would have returned to present the series had she been asked, but maintained her stance that the show was in "safe hands".[16][17] She did however express interest in filming a cameo prior to the show's opening titles to state her infamous phrase "Fancy another one", which she would use on double eviction nights.[18] Emma Willis, the presenter of the programme prior to its cancellation on Channel 5, also ruled out the possibility of her returning as host saying that she "loved [her] time on the show" but "very much kind of said goodbye to it back then because [she] thought it was over".[19] Willis did however express interest in appearing as a guest panellist on the series' spin-off show.[20] Former Big Brother's Little Brother presenter Dermot O'Leary said that whilst he was sure the new series would be a "hit with viewers", added that the show needed to be "less of a popularity contest" and go back to how it was in the early days as "more of a social experiment".[21] Rylan Clark, who won the eleventh series of Celebrity Big Brother and went on to present the spin-off show Big Brother's Bit on the Side between 2013 and 2018 said he was "devastated" not to be involved in the show's reboot [...] adding that he had "naively assumed that he would have been asked back [as presenter].[22][23]

It was initially reported that the series was set to launch in March 2023, following the conclusion of the ninth series of Love Island.[24][25] However, it was later confirmed that the series would launch in autumn 2023.[26][27] This was said to be due to the high influx of reality television programming on the broadcaster earlier in the year and to avoid clashing with the upcoming series of Love Island and I'm a Celebrity... South Africa, with Big Brother receiving a "more prominent slot" in the autumn schedule.[28][29] It was also confirmed that the series would be accompanied by a spin-off show.[30][31] Applications for the series opened online on 10 October 2022.[32] They were originally set to close on 27 January 2023, however, following the announcement of the series being delayed until the autumn, the application window was extended a further three times until 30 June and 14 July, before ultimately closing on 27 July 2023.[33][34][35] Over 30,000 applications were received for the series, with producers shortlisting around 500 applicants to conduct in-person interviews.[36]

Following the announcement of the reboot, speculation as to who would be presenting the series began, with the media reporting various potential hosts including Mo Gilligan,[37] Emily Atack,[38] Vick Hope,[38] Olivia Attwood[39] and Roman Kemp, the latter of whom confirmed he had been "in talks" with producers of the series.[40] In April 2023, ITV announced that AJ Odudu and Will Best would be presenting the series.[41][42] Odudu previously co-presented Big Brother's Bit on the Side alongside Clark in 2013, whilst Best regularly appeared as a panellist on the show.[43] Upon her appointment as presenter, Odudu said she was "so excited to finally be able to say that, yes: [she is] hosting Big Brother! I couldn't be happier" adding that "following in the footsteps of some of [her] favourite broadcasting legends to front such an iconic show is an absolute honour - and to do it alongside my amazing friend Will is the icing on the cake.", whilst Best said he "grew up with Big Brother so getting a chance to host it with [his] mate AJ is a dream come true. I can't wait to tell some housemates not to swear."; in reference to former presenter McCall's catchphrase.[41][44][45]

In June 2023, it was reported that the show's theme song, which had been used since its inception in 2000, could be axed following accusations of sexual harassment allegations against Paul Oakenfold made earlier in the month. However a remixed version of the original theme tune was used in the series' eye reveal, which ultimately served as the theme tune for the series.[46] In July 2023, several news outlets reported that the series was planning to bring back former housemates in a bid to "recapture the magic" of the original series, however ITV later confirmed the reports were false.[47][48]

Format

Following the commissioning of the show, ITV announced that the series would feature a new cast of carefully selected housemates, from all walks of life. The series is set to run for up to six weeks, with "cameras capturing [the housemates'] every move, and the nation following every twist and turn." Shopping tasks, nominations and live evictions will return, with the public once again voting throughout the series and ultimately determining the winner, who will walk away with a cash prize.[6][49]

"Big Brother house, it's AJ and Will. You are live on ITV2; please do not swear. (nominated housemates' names), the viewers have spoken and we can now reveal that the nth person to be evicted from the Big Brother House is...(evicted housemate's name(s)). (Evicted housemate's name), your time in the Big Brother house is over. Say your goodbyes, it's time to leave."

— Odudu & Best's speech when announcing the evicted housemate.[50]

The series began on 8 October 2023, with a 90-minute pre-recorded launch show airing simultaneously on ITV1 and ITV2, with the remainder of the series being broadcast on the latter channel.[51][52] The launch show took place the day before on 7 October, with the housemates entering the house in front of a live studio audience.[53] It will run for 42 days, the shortest civilian series in the show's history and will be covered over 36 episodes, airing six nights a week from Sunday to Friday at 9pm, followed by the live companion show Big Brother: Late & Live at 10pm where the evicted housemate will give their first interview.[54] Following this, the Big Brother: Live Stream covered live feed from the house "into the small hours every night" on the broadcaster's new streaming service ITVX, which will air seven nights a week from 11pm until 2am from Sunday from Friday, and from 9pm until 2am on Saturdays.[55] The series will conclude with a 90-minute finale episode.[56][57][58]

House

The location for the series was not initially confirmed, but it was teased as "an iconic Big Brother house" which would be given "its own contemporary new look ready for this reimagining of the show."[6] A week after the announcement of the series returning, media outlets reported that the series was set to be filmed at ITV Studios Bovingdon after planning applications were submitted for three new studios, as well as a backlot for temporary studios with outdoor filming.[59] It was later speculated that ITV were planning to build a "standalone house" for the series, with Radio Times reporting that a "brand new house built on a huge airfield in the countryside" was in the works.[60][61] In May 2023, it was confirmed that the house would be located at Garden Studios in North London and was said to boast "versatile staging", as well as an "in-house virtual production studio".[62][63] On 6 October 2023, ITV revealed photos of the garden on social media, with Richard Arnold conducting a tour of it on Good Morning Britain.[64][65] Later that day, the Big Brother social media accounts posted a video which depicted the construction of the house, before subsequently revealing the Diary Room chair that evening, a red, orange and yellow chair made from post-consumer recycled polyester and shaped like the Big Brother eye logo - with a smaller eye in the centre and curved neon coloured lights on the top.[66][67] The following day, full photos of the new house were released, which for the first time included a mezzanine overlooking the living area, as well as a lift, to ensure that [the house] is "fully accessible to all housemates."[68][69]

During the 20-second teaser aired in August 2022, it depicted numerous ITV2 logos forming into the shape of a Big Brother eye. However, the host reveal trailer and the official social media accounts feature the same shaped eye with the ITV2 colour scheme of purple.[70][71] In July 2023, the official eye logo for the series was revealed in the ad break during the final of the tenth series of Love Island.[46][72] The eye features multi-coloured icons with various symbols, and the words "Big Brother", it also includes a smaller eye in the centre.[73][74]

Promotion

In September 2023, the first set of promotional trailers for the series began airing across ITV channels, both of which featured presenters Best and Odudu.[75] The first trailer saw the pair impersonating narrator Marcus Bentley, whilst the other saw them singing along to the show's theme tune. Later that month, a further set of trailers were revealed, which featured members of the public in "real-life" situations which included a woman attempting to climb out of a toilet window after regretting getting back on the dating apps; a man failing to fit in with his new group of housemates after eating a raw onion from the fridge; a dog licking his owner; a woman who is due back at work after a disastrous eyebrow appointment, and a sperm travelling towards an egg depicting the fertilisation process and representing a couple who had "put the kids to bed early".[76] Each advert begins with narrator Bentley stating the timestamp and concludes with him reiterating the tagline "Big Brother sees it all".[77] The series was also promoted on billboards in various cities around the UK, as well as various posters in PureGym branches, beer mats in pubs and adverts on food delivery company Deliveroo that featured the tagline observing the public undertaking activities.[78][79]

Housemates

On 7 October 2023, a day prior to the airing of the launch show, the Big Brother social media accounts posted close-up teasers of the sixteen housemates' eyes.[80]

Weekly summary

The main events in the Big Brother 20 house are summarised in the table below.

Week 1 Entrances
  • On Day 1, Jenkin, Farida, Tom, Hallie, Trish, Yinrun, Jordan, Zak, Chanelle, Dylan, Noky, Matty, Paul, Henry, Olivia and Kerry entered the house.[97]
Twists
  • On Day 1, Olivia was automatically nominated to face the first eviction by Jenkin. Later, Big Brother revealed that she would have the chance to win immunity if she was not ranked least entertaining in the next task. On Day 2, she ultimately was not ranked least entertaining in the task and earned immunity from this week's eviction.[98]
Nominations
  • On Day 6, housemates nominated for the first time. This time, however, the housemates only had to nominate one housemate for eviction. Farida and Kerry received the most nominations and therefore faced the public vote.[99]
Tasks
  • On Day 2, housemates took part in a task where they would rank each other based on various characteristics. However, Olivia was given a secret mission to earn herself immunity from the first eviction. Olivia was told that she would have to not be ranked least to earn herself immunity. She ultimately was not ranked least, and earned herself immunity from this week's eviction.[100]
  • On Day 3, housemates took part in a task where they had to last the longest laying on an oversized bed. Dylan, Matty, Paul and Zak lasted the longest and won themselves a private cocktail party.[101]
  • On Day 4, the housemates took part in their first shopping task "Big Bro's Ltd", in which the housemates were split into a hierarchal format in an office and had to complete various tasks within the company. Henry, Trish and Yinrun served as the "Big Wigs", followed by Farida, Jordan, Kerry, Matty and Zak as "Middle Management", ultimately leaving Chanelle, Dylan, Hallie, Jenkin, Noky, Paul and Tom as the "Bottoms". Jordan was later appointed "Fire Warden", whilst Paul was promoted to "Middle Management" and Farida was demoted to the "Bottoms". The housemates passed the shopping task on Day 5 after successfully completing four out of five tasks, and were subsequently rewarded with a luxury shopping budget.[102]
Exits
  • On Day 7, Farida became the first housemate to be evicted.[103]
Week 2 Nominations
  • On Day 11, housemates nominated for the second time. Housemates were now required to nominate two housemates for eviction instead of one in the previous week. Henry and Zak received the most nominations and therefore faced the public vote.[104]
Punishments
  • On Day 12, as punishment for writing secret messages on each others backs and discussing nominations, Hallie and Olivia were sent to jail in the garden.[105]
  • On Day 13, Hallie received a further punishment from Big Brother for her discussion of nominations, and was forced to wear a sign with "Warning: Rule Breaker" written on it, as well as a cone hat.[106]
Tasks
  • On Day 8, Chanelle was given a secret mission to give backhanded compliments to the other housemates. She passed her secret mission and won the housemates a huge jar of sweets.[107]
  • On Day 9, housemates took part in their second shopping task, "Big Brother's Happy Happy Happy Camp", in which housemates are to spend their night camping in the garden. However, four housemates, Kerry, Olivia, Paul and Jenkin were chosen to sleep inside the "VIP glampers" area inside the House via a series of tasks. In order to pass the task, housemates must complete a series of tasks as well as keeping themselves happy at all times. Housemates failed the shopping task on Day 10, failing to complete two out of four tasks, and received an economy shopping budget.[108]
  • On Day 13, housemates took part in "Big Brother's Fast Food" in which Chanelle and Jenkin had to prepare various disgusting food items which were delivered by Tom and had to be eaten by the other housemates. They passed this task and were awarded with a takeaway.[109]
Exits
  • On Day 14, Zak became the second housemate to be evicted.[110]
Week 3 Nominations
  • On Day 18, housemates nominated for the third time. Dylan, Hallie and Trish received the most nominations and therefore faced the public vote.
Punishments
  • On Day 18, as punishment for discussing nominations, Yinrun was sent to jail in the garden. Her nominations were also voided.[111]
Tasks
  • On Day 16, housemates took part in their third shopping task, where the Big Brother House is transformed to an ant kingdom. Housemates are split into two teams: The blue team consisting of Paul, Jenkin, Jordan, Trish, Noky, Olivia and Kerry, and the orange team consisting of Henry, Matty, Tom, Dylan, Hallie, Chanelle and Yinrun. Throughout the shopping task, teams competed in challenges to gain advantages in the final task. The winning team of the final task will be able to control the shopping list. To earn the luxury shopping budget, each team must complete the final task in under 15 minutes. The orange team completed their task in time ahead of the blue team, who also failed to complete their task under 15 minutes, meaning that the housemates failed the shopping task and received an economy shopping budget on Day 17.[112]
