The deadline for Big Brother 2023 auditions has been extended a *third* time - they now close Thursday 27th July Not sure whether that’s a good or bad sign 😬 #BBUK

Big Brother UK housemates reportedly face training in topics ranging from diversity and inclusion to conflict resolution as ITV prepares its most stringent duty-of-care package yet for the show’s reboot #BBUK https://t.co/25lxUR7rB2

Per this article there were plans to re-release the track ahead of ITV2’s new series, which have now been scrapped Joel Corry and Calvin Harris apparently being lined up for potential replacements (would take that bit with a pinch of salt for now - especially Harris) #BBUK

The Mirror reporting that producers are preparing to axe the iconic Big Brother UK theme music from ITV’s revival following misconduct allegations against its co-producer Paul Oakenfold, which he vehemently denies #BBUK https://t.co/SvN3hIqX8W

How wonderful that @ThisisDavina has been awarded an MBE in the King’s Birthday Honours - huge congratulations! ❤️ https://t.co/3yqCSZaoHO

Very encouraging sign that #BBUK has been able to announce a sponsor so early! Also, here’s a stat - Vinted is the show’s first non-gambling headline sponsor since 2015…

Online marketplace VINTED has been named as headline sponsor of ITV2's Big Brother UK revival in a deal that will promote pre-loved fashion - while bosses have confirmed the show will continue to have its own app #BBUK https://t.co/FPVkOqiPv3

Worth bearing in mind that ITV has told advertisers its ratings aim for #BBUK is about level with the last C5 series (1m) rather than Love Island’s previous lofty heights - they seem serious about building it up again rather than wanting an instant smash

Not gloating about this as we all know what a painful drop in ratings feels like - but can’t help but think this gigantic crash for Love Island will make #BBUK’s ratings on ITV2 look better… https://t.co/quMVbkd0Pe

He’s the only member of the Big Brother UK presenting team to have been involved with EVERY series… and now he’s extending that record! @marcusBBbentley has CONFIRMED he’s returning as narrator for ITV2’s #BBUK reboot! 🎙 https://t.co/F6DicE6TQW

Update on last night’s news - both Marcus Bentley and ITV have now confirmed that he will be returning as Big Brother narrator! However, ITV is currently declining to confirm any details about live feed, so sit tight on that one… #BBUK

ITV2 bosses are reportedly set to bring back LIVE FEED for their reboot of Big Brother UK - while Marcus Bentley is said to have signed a deal to return as narrator! #BBUK https://t.co/79fUN1DpCN

Although there have been vague tidbits and allusions that ITV has been considering #BBUK live feed, this is the first time any source has straight-up claimed it’s happening

🚨 POTENTIALLY HUGE NEWS! The Sun is reporting that ITV will be bringing back LIVE FEED as part of its Big Brother UK reboot (although no clarification if that means a 24hr stream) The paper also reports that @marcusBBbentley will be back as narrator! #BBUK

Honestly at what point does the concept of time just cease to exist 💀 #BBUK

Really thrilled for AJ and Will, think they’ll make amazing hosts - can’t wait to see them in action! Can’t not feel devastated for Rylan though - he put in so much work to keep the #BBUK memories alive during its downtime and he deserved the job. This is such bittersweet news

ITV2 confirms AJ ODUDU and WILL BEST as first ever hosting duo for Big Brother UK, with pair also set to present a live nightly spin-off together! Details this way… #BBUK https://t.co/BRMxLojVEH

Everyone to their phones right now #BBUK https://t.co/IDZpm5NbLE

Big Brother has a tradition for giving new and underrated talent a leg up and this could be a great duo in the making! Feeling even more sorry for Rylan though… he’s right there 😩 #BBUK

ITV2 bosses are reportedly ‘very close to’ securing a location for the new Big Brother UK house - after the delay of the reboot until Autumn 2023 resulted in them LOSING their first choice site… #BBUK https://t.co/VLKkp1sSco

This is embarrassing. Will always defend Big Brother’s right to have sponsors - even the sheer amount BBCAN has - but their presence should never overwhelm the show For the first time ever it feels like #BBCAN11 is for the sponsors rather than the fans https://t.co/qG7RgLhweA

More evidence that the new Big Brother UK house will be purpose built… they might want to get a move on with building it though 🤪 #BBUK https://t.co/sgMGnwJhH3

Thank you @BBCTwo for that nostalgia fest! If you want to donate to #RedNoseDay you can find out how at https://t.co/Ay4wyezoDA #CBB #BBUK

“We went in to that house and left it cleaner than when we arrived” We, Anthea? 😆 #BBUK #CBB #RedNoseDay

Walking out of the house and having a wander around Stratford? How did nobody notice that?! #BBUK #CBB #RedNoseDay

These celebrities were only in the house for *eight* days… they were Big Brother lightweights 😂 #BBUK #CBB #RedNoseDay

Time for a trip down memory lane! Head to BBC Two NOW for ‘When Comic Relief Did Big Brother’, an extremely rare look back at the very first series of Celebrity Big Brother from 2001 as part of #RedNoseDay… #BBUK #CBB https://t.co/5yljsxa00C

REMINDER: The BBC is airing a documentary TONIGHT as part of #RedNoseDay, revisiting the first series of Celebrity Big Brother UK, which supported the charity fundraiser back in 2001! Watch ‘When Comic Relief Did Big Brother’ at 10pm on BBC Two 👁️ #BBUK https://t.co/4TjlnEIUP2

Wonderful to see Nikki Grahame’s portrait hanging in the #BBCAN11 house (alongside other legendary houseguests!) https://t.co/Mko5YBgpuY

Get ready virtual housemates - it’s official! Big Brother: The Game is coming back for a third season in 2023, and this time there’s “even more at stake”… @Game_BigBrother #BBTG #BigBrother https://t.co/q80I1sZ1mK

Things @BigBrotherCA fans want: live feeds, to know what happens on weekends, live feeds, to see the days between move in and premiere, live feeds Things fans are actually getting: A mYsTeRy NiNtH SpOnSoR!!!!! 🥱 #BBCAN11 https://t.co/M5B0cQUQYq

So Big Brother Canada’s Digital Dailies refer to live feeds that no longer exist… and they’re not even daily 🙃 #BBCAN11 https://t.co/r359ne0CJT

(Perfectly acceptable if those sponsors are paying for live feed) #BBCAN12

Any more sponsors and the theme for next year’s Big Brother Canada house will be shopping mall #BBCAN12 https://t.co/J15I5ZV8SC

AJ Odudu has teased that fans should “wait and see” if she’s the new presenter of Big Brother UK on ITV2 - amid speculation that a new #SaturdayNightTakeaway skit offers a clue the job is hers… #BBUK https://t.co/L1e2tjB3pU

Little tidbit today - although ITV’s still slating a Q4 launch for #BBUK, network boss Kevin Lygo has hinted it could return *slightly* earlier in September: “Further on down – we haven’t specifically said (when) yet – but probably September, October time, Big Brother comes in”

The more we hear the more it sounds like ITV really has Big Brother’s best interests at heart 🤩 #BBUK
