Big Brother producers are on the look out for interesting characters from ‘all walks of life’ to apply for the new series - here’s how to apply

Big Brother is returning to TV screens once again this year after a five year hiatus - and producers are looking for ‘funny’ and ‘entertaining’ participants to star in the show. The iconic reality show will be aired on ITV2 for the first time after being axed in 2018 after 18 years on Channel 4.

It is thought The Big Brother house will reopen its doors later this year with a new series aimed at younger viewers. The basic show format will remain the same with housemates living together for up to six weeks - while being overlooked by Big Brother’s watchful eye.
