ITV2 confirms Big Brother hosts
AJ Odudu and Will Best have been confirmed as the new hosts of Big Brother.
The pair will share the iconic hosting role on the main show, presiding over the weekly evictions and quizzing housemates on the goings on in the house.
They will also host an additional nightly live show debating all of the hot topics inside the house.
AJ Odudu 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.”
The show was previously hosted by Davina McCall (2000-2010), Brian Dowling (2011-2013), and Emma Willis (2013-2018).
Channel 5 axed the show five years ago, but it will return to screens later this year on ITV2 and ITVX.
Will Best 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 that they are the “perfect pairing to reintroduce Big Brother to the next generation”.
