25/04 UPDATE
ITV and Initial (part of Banijay UK) today confirm the new hosts for the forthcoming series of Big Brother and its companion show - AJ Odudu and Will Best - ahead of the show’s hotly anticipated return to ITVX and ITV2 later this year. The pair will share the iconic hosting role on the main show, presiding over the weekly evictions and quizzing housemates on all of the goings on in the world’s most famous house. The duo will also host an additional nightly live show debating all the hot topics inside the house. A TV favourite, AJ has recently co-hosted the acclaimed revival of The Big Breakfast. She has hosted on Comic Relief and as part of the Eurovision family, and is also known to ITV audiences having presented backstage on The Voice UK and The Voice Kids. Close friend and fellow Big Brother superfan Will meanwhile has presenting credits across major broadcasters including Dance, Dance, Dance for ITV as well as other projects for E4, T4 and BBC Three. Big Brother is produced by Initial. Launching in 2023, a cast of house mates will be taking up residence in the legendary TV habitat for up to six weeks, with cameras capturing their every move, and the nation following every twist and turn. Casting for the show is ongoing, with wannabe house mates invited to apply via https://www.bigbrother.com/. AJ said: “I’m so excited to finally be able to say that, yes: I’m hosting Big Brother! I couldn't be happier. Following in the footsteps of some of my favourite broadcasting legends to front such an iconic show is an absolute honour - and to do it alongside my amazing friend Will is the icing on the cake.” Will said: “I grew up with Big Brother so getting a chance to host it with my mate AJ is a dream come true. I can't wait to tell some housemates not to swear.” Paul Mortimer, Director of Reality Commissioning for ITV2 and ITVX, said “AJ and Will really are our perfect pairing as we prepare to reintroduce Big Brother to the next generation. With a genuine chemistry, both of them will bring effortless wit, charm and heaps of character to their roles and we’re delighted to be working with them both again.” Natalka Znak, CEO of Remarkable Entertainment, Initial and Znak TV, added: “It’s an all-new Big Brother on a new channel and with new hosts. AJ and Will are fresh, with bags of talent, and a real passion for this iconic show. It’s going to be such fun having them at the helm.” Big Brother is commissioned for ITV2 and ITVX by Paul Mortimer, Director of Reality Commissioning & Acquisitions and Controller, ITV2, ITVBe & CITV, and Peter Tierney, Commissioning Editor - Reality. Katy Manley is MD of Initial and Tamsin Dodgson is Creative Director for Big Brother. Big Brother is one of a number of major format commissions secured by leading entertainment and format producers Natalka Znak and Claire O’Donohoe since joining Banijay last year.

He seems like a competent, well rounded and likeable guy which is more we got from the channel 5 era! Emma aside!

I’m excited for these two.

POW! BLAM!

Despite being very likeable, AJ as a solo presenter would be a bit of wet lettuce. Like Brian Dowling. You can't not like him, but as BB host he sucked.

They're going off the same profile that Channel 4 did when they hired Dermot O'Leary which I'm here for.

AJ confirmed to be on Lorraine tomorrow morning. According to twitter it's mainly for promo for her upcoming channel 4 show, but who knows, maybe there will be a bb announcement to talk about as well

No announcements on Lorraine. A passing comment by Lorraine was made about AJ's name being thrown in the hat for BB host, but there was no response from AJ on that specifically. Another day perhaps..

Marcus Bentley has liked a tweet by ICYMI.co.uk, an online publication that has previously interviewed him.
"We feel like this is going to be a big week for @bbuk fans. @marcusBBbentley @AJOdudu @iamwillbest @ITVX " https://twitter.com/icymiofficial/st...ydjG9zRmzC6bYA |
