The final series of Big Brother for Channel 4 will hit our screens for the last time at 9pm on Wednesday June 9th.

And in a final twist, the official Channel 4 site states: "There will be more hopefuls than the house can hold."

"In front of the cameras and the baying crowd each of the hopefuls will find out their fate. Will Big Brother select them to spend a summer in front of the cameras or will they have to head home with their bag still packed?"

It continues: "The new Housemates will be selected one by one and allowed into the Big Brother house to begin what could be the most exciting and unpredictable few weeks of their lives. Watch those first awkward moments unfold as they get to know each other and await the start of Big Brother’s games."

The press release seems to backs up a previous report in the Daily Star claiming that 100 contestants will compete on the launch night to become an official housemate.

The potential housemates will therefore discover live in front of the launch night crowd whether they have been selected to take part in the final series or not.

Davina McCall will return to host the main show, while George Lamb will be joined by Emma Willis for spinoff show Big Brother's Little Brother.
