Big Brother, the popular reality show, is going through a major transformation in 2025. As it approaches its next milestone series on ITV, the show is set for a huge shake-up. Originally airing on ITV last year, the show has also been hosted by Channel 5 and Channel 4 in the past. Since its return, we have witnessed three iconic seasons, with Jordan Sangha and Ali Bromley winning in the civilian editions, and David Potts stealing the spotlight in Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.
The second edition of Celebrity Big Brother has already been confirmed for 2025, with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best returning. However, the iconic house that has seen housemates laugh, cry, argue, and even kiss for the past two years, will be no more. Ali Bromley emerged victorious in the show's second series, which was aired on ITV.
Previously, Big Brother was filmed at Garden Studios in Harlesden, West London. However, it has now been announced that the show's compound will be rebuilt in a new location in London, in time for spring. When Big Brother first premiered, it was based in Bow, East London. It then moved to Elstree, Borehamwood in 2002, where it remained until 2018 when it was demolished after Cameron Cole's winning series. The new house will be completed just in time for a special milestone in Big Brother's history. Next year marks the show's 25th anniversary, which is sure to bring more explosive moments, high drama, emotional scenes, and plenty of memes as a new group of housemates enter the doors.
Paul Mortimer, Director of Reality Commissioning and Acquisitions at ITV, previously stated: "Big Brother programming has firmly established itself across ITV's platforms and become a favorite with our viewers. Together, Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother have grown audiences on ITV1 and ITV2 and amassed almost 100million 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."
Katy Manley, Managing Director of Initial, added: "We are so excited to be coming back with more Celebrity Big Brother and Big Brother. Both series have really resonated with audiences, and we can't wait to make more. As always, viewers can look forward to Big Brother keeping housemates – celebrities and civilians alike – on their toes."
In addition to Big Brother's return, the spin-off show, Big Brother: Late & Live, will also be back. Hosted by AJ and Will, the show will continue to give viewers further insight into life inside the house. With a studio audience and a celebrity panel, the spin-off show will discuss the biggest moments and give their verdict. Late & Live will also be the only place where viewers can watch evictees' first interviews and see exclusive clips not featured in the main episodes.
As for who will be the next to enter the house, there is already speculation about the Celebrity Big Brother 2025 lineup. Rumored names include Eamonn Holmes and Tommy Fury. For those who want to follow in the footsteps of previous winners such as Craig Phillips, Nadia Almada, Sophie Reade, and Brian Dowling, applications for the next season are now open. Hopefuls who believe they have what it takes to win the £100,000 prize can apply by visiting bigbrother.com.
