NEW PRESENTER LINE UP FOR CHANNEL 5’S BIG BROTHER’S BIT ON THE SIDE - RYLAN CLARK, AJ ODUDU AND EMMA WILLIS

· Emma Willis will share presenting duties with Rylan and AJ alongside her new role hosting the main show
· Brand new psych show on Saturday night - Big Brother’s Bit On The Psych
· New Sunday lunchtime show fronted by Rylan
· Return of live streaming nightly from 7-9pm on Channel 5’s sister channel 5*


Channel 5 announced today Rylan Clark and AJ Odudu will be joining the presenting team for Big Brother’s Bit On The Side. Emma Willis will continue presenting Bit On The Side alongside her new role as host of Big Brother.

BB fan Rylan entered the Celebrity Big Brother house in January 2013 after becoming a household name on The X Factor. He was crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother in a tense final against housemates Speidi (Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt). Rylan, a proud native of Essex, stole the show with his extreme emotional reactions, quick wit and natural showmanship. He has since appeared on Daybreak and This Morning as a guest presenter and regularly appears as a guest on Celebrity Juice.

Rylan Clark comments: "I have followed the show since the very beginning. It was a dream come true to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house this year, let alone win it! Being offered the job to present Big Brother’s Bit On The Side was amazing.”

Newcomer AJ has presented on both TV and radio and is no stranger to Bit On The Side having appeared before as a panelist on the show.

AJ Odudu comments: “It’s going to be brilliant fun hooking up with Rylan and Emma for Big Brother’s Bit On The Side. I can’t wait to find out who the housemates are and get stuck in.”

In further news, a new psych show will air, Big Brother’s Bit On The Psych. The Bit On The Psych team will be joined by a panel of experts and psychologists to analyse the behaviour of the housemates over the past seven days. Rylan will also front a Sunday lunchtime edition of Bit On The Side.

Ben Frow, Director of Programmes Channel 5 comments: “Big Brother’s spin off shows have a history of bringing on new talent and with Rylan and AJ I think we have two future stars.”

Big Brother’s Bit On The Side is made by Initial (an Endemol company) for Channel 5. The show will return this summer, nightly Monday to Saturday after Big Brother and on Sunday lunchtimes on Channel 5. BB fans will also be pleased to hear that live streaming returns nightly between 7-9pm on 5*.

hope it true

This is the OFFICIAL press release from Channel 5! It's 100% true!

oh brill

I was hoping for a little bit more live feed. Maybe one day we'll get 24/7 back but still, a tiny bit of good news.

I don't even know my feelings on Ry presenting.

well it better the none

How did that northern bird get the job? She was always on BOTS but I could never work out who she was.

question who is she

2hrs a night live streaming?

Beat me to it ;)

better the none

If you think about it, we used to get 1 hour a week, now we get 14 hours a week, it's a start

Not fussed on Rylan. Hardly makes the show 'classy'. Happy with Emma still having involvement with BOTS and the main show (although I am concerned she will be over worked?).

Don't know who AJ is so cannot say much there.

2 hours live feed a day is great though! Yeah sure it's not 24 hours although lets face it, Channel 5 seem adamant in not bringing that back. At least someone has persuaded Channel 5 to at least have some live feed going on each day. Better than nothing.

aye we gone up one
from channel 5

Can't think who AJ is but Rylan NOOOOOO, even though I expected it!!

Though aj ododu was that lanky bravo boxing/lottery bloke when ive googled the name she is a bit yummy

Didnt see the live feed bit poth.

same here with aj

she did bb swich

Looking forward to the psych show

aye sounds good

Here is Aj's showreel: http://vimeo.com/31969761

Missed opportunity just 2 hrs?
think the days of true 24hrs are long gone but given the lineup on 5* it had more scope for extra (pre watershed is going to be a disaster) and given the ad breaks.
its also going to be facing most of the soaps on the other channels.

I'm not sure why people are moaning about "only" 2 hours, it's a hell of a lot better than what we had last year and it's better than having nothing at all.

and considering they have a slightly smaller budget this year because this had to compensate for Brian's contract dismissal 2 hours live feed will be Expensive. Emma will be A LOT better, she has 11 years presenting experience behind her. Give it time, it's a progression for Channel 5.

Thank christ for the Channel 5 management shake up, Ben Frow seems to be doing an AMAZING job.

Rylan replaces Jamie east..thats goto hurt. hehe

All good news. I'm happy.

:amazed::amazed::amazed:

Live feed everyday! Omg! :dance:

BBBOTP should be interesting.

SO let me get this str8... Rylan is going to be on BOTS every single night?

I would rather watch lauren harries pass a kidney stone.

Some good stuff there!

Looking forward to the Psych show and at least there's going to be some LF but meh 2 hours really isn't a lot and it's not on at the best time.

LMAO!!! :joker:
Visions of Dicky Desmond on the phone to C5 commissions :hugesmile:

I think Rylan is only hosting the sunday lunchtime show.

seeing the trouble C4 are in via twitter there must be at least one boss wondering why they dropped BB.

for all the hassle it caused it was a stable audience over many weeks.I just wonder if C5 ever do drop the format would it return to C4 at some point.

I'm very grateful

Started from 0 live feed now we here [8]

Could have thought of a better name for "Bit on the Psych" though lol

Hm, I'm relatively happy. This is a step in the right direction.

I still want to know how much of BOTS Emma is presenting though and whether she'll be doing it alone or with these two, I was hoping they'd confirm that in this press release. I hope she does Monday - Thursday and the other two Friday and Saturday. Is it just Sunday's BOTS they've dropped? If I've understood this right, I'm typing on my phone and cba to go back a page.

Still not sure on Rylan either. I like him but he's not a presenter, and if he gets more nights than Emma I'm not going to be happy. Can't remember who AJ is so I'm disappointed I don't know her but it was the same with Jamie and Alice and they turned out to be good so...

2 hours of live feed is certainly a start, but I really hope they build on this. If they announced the return of 24/7 streaming online for a fee this'd be perfect. 2 hours on TV and the rest online is the perfect compromise, but I shan't hold out any hope as I'm sure they'd have announced the full live feed return today if not.

Like the sound of a psychology show too, always missed them! But let's hope it's actually proper psychologists and not asparagus woman...

BOTS - worse than expected.
LF - more than expected though, of course, not the dream of 24/7.

This. The live feed isn't fantastic but it's a move in the right direction. Apart from Rylan hosting, it feels a bit more like the old BB

AJ Odudu and rylan sounds like gritty and will bring alot of fun to bots i think.

Mixed reaction. AJ's gorgeous, funny and a capable presenter (ignore that tosser she's presenting with):

Rylan's annoying nasal voiced wannabe (though far more likable than the tosser that is Tom Deacon above is) with no presenting skills whatsoever.
