Big Brother reboot starts in autumn
Big Brother ran for a staggering 18 years before being axed from Channel 5 in 2018. News of the iconic show’s return came to light back in August when it was teased during the Love Island final. It is due to return to ITV2 this autumn.
It is claimed AJ and Will have done a screen test for the show, and will soon unveil news of their upcoming partnership.
A source claimed: “AJ has known since last year the Big Brother job was hers but she’s been waiting for her co-host to be confirmed. AJ and Will did a brilliant screen test together and their chemistry was brilliant. It was a no brainer. They are great friends too so to be able to work together is really exciting.”
The source then added: “They could not be more excited about joining forces to bring back Big Brother. AJ and Will are going to be formally announced by ITV really soon and they can’t wait to get stuck in.”
