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*.

oh brill

[Black Dagger]

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.

[Marcus.]

well it better the none

[GiRTh]

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

[Marcus.]

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.

Here is Aj's showreel:

[oathbreaker]

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
