Big Brother is back again in 2024.

The iconic reality television show first aired on Channel 4 in 2000 where it stayed for 10 years before moving over to Channel 5 from 2011 to 2018.

In 2018, Big Brother was axed. But last year (2023), five years after it was last seen on UK TV screens, it returned on ITV.

Big Brother is back for a new series in 2024 - with AJ Odudu and Will Best retuning as hosts - as a new group of housemates battle it out to be crowned the 21st winner of Big Brother UK.
