Big Brother plotting major move ahead of new series as future of iconic reality show is revealed
THE iconic Big Brother house is being moved by ITV in a huge shakeup.
Bosses at the channel have secured a new home for the reboot in 2025 – and hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best will move with the show too.
Since its relaunch last year the TV abode has been based at Garden Studios in Harlesden, West London.
However, the Big Brother compound will be rebuilt in another location in London for its celebrity series this Spring.
Big Brother was originally based in Bow, East London before it moved to Elstree, Borehamwood in 2002 – where it remained until its demolition in 2018.
The most recent civilian series of the show ended last month as Ali Bromley was voted the winner by fans.
She walked away with £90,000 – after her housemate Segun Shodipo won £10k from the pot from a previous eviction task.
Big Brother originally aired on Channel 4 and was presented by Davina McCall from 2000 until its axe in 2010.
It moved to Channel 5 the following year where ‘ultimate housemate’ Brian Dowling took over, before he was replaced by Emma Willis, who hosted until it was axed by the broadcaster in 2018.
Next year will mark Big Brother’s 25th birthday on air, with ITV set to mark the show’s major milestone.
Paul Mortimer, Director of Reality Commissioning and Acquisitions at ITV, previously said: “Big Brother programming has firmly established itself across ITV’s platforms and become a favourite with our viewers.
“Together, Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother have grown audiences on ITV1 and ITV2 and amassed almost 100 million streams on ITVX.
“We’re therefore very excited to be able to throw open the House doors once again for another series of both Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother in 2025 which are sure to promise more unmissable entertaining and captivating moments.”
