Overview

• The live launch airs Sunday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX, with companion Late and Live and a live stream returning.
• The hosts say this series will run for seven weeks, adding an extra week compared with the last two civilian seasons.
• Promos trail design updates, including a new Big Brother eye and a possible new diary room chair, with ITV teasing that “the game is changing.”
• Casting is reported to span the political spectrum to reflect a broad mix of views, and the hosts urge contestants to be genuine rather than “coasting.”
• AJ Odudu and Will Best name Nadia Almada, Victor Ebuwa and Anthony Hutton as past housemates they would like to see back, a wish list rather than a confirmed twist.
