BIG BROTHER is just days away from kicking off the new series and welcoming a new batch of contestants to a revamped house.

In a first look pictures, the garden has been updated but in keeping with the colourful theme, which we saw last year.

The hot tub has returned again this year, along with a cosy area at the corner of the garden that has sofas and a roof for shelter.

There is also deck chairs for the housemates to relax on when the sunshine is out.

But they’ll be reminded that Big Brother is always watching them, with the huge blue, orange and white eye on the wall behind them.

The aerial shots show some quirky features including a big yellow hand ornament.

This is the same house that was used for Celebrity Big Brother back in April.

Earlier this year, the famous house was relocated from Garden Studios West London to Titan Studios, also in West London.

The move marks the fourth house for the reality show since its UK debut in 2000.

The first Big Brother house was purpose built in London where it played host to three series.

In 2002, Channel 4 relocated the house to Elstree Studios in Borehamwood where it remained for over 16 years until Channel 5 aired its final civilian series in 2018.

The show’s last location at Garden Studios was a fresh start for Big Brother when it returned to screens in 2023 after a five-year absence.

But it was revealed that the Big Brother house was relocated to within Titan Studios in West London.

Titan Studios is a former distribution centre with two stages with over 200,000 square foot of production space and is located next to Versa TV Studios.

Coming just months after Coronation Street‘s Jack P. Shepherd won the celebrity version of the show, hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best are back with a fresh civilian line-up.

The live launch will start on Sunday, 28 September, at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Show bosses are teasing “new twists and turns, elaborate tasks, intense nominations and live evictions” as the contestants battle it out for a huge cash prize.

Big Brother: Late & Live will air each night after the main show with celebrity guest panellists giving their hot takes.

And the Live Stream is also making its return, airing seven nights a week on ITVX.

Host Will said bosses have pulled out all the stops to make the show’s 25th anniversary series one to remember.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, he said: “Some of the great moments have always been when Big Brother shows straight away that he means business.

“Like night one, things are being toyed with, people are being wrong footed, unexpected things are happening and I would be very surprised if that isn’t dialled up for the 25th anniversary.”

Will, who began co-hosting the ITV revival of Big Brother alongside AJ in 2023, opened up about his future on the show after becoming one of UK’s most in demand presenters.

He told us: “I hope I’ll be on the show for quite a while, definitely.

“I think the main thing is the show itself is going down well. I think ITV have done an amazing job, purely speaking as a Big Brother fan, who has been following the show for 25 years.

“Seeing how ITV have taken it, made it fresh, it feels kind of level upped in a way. I think as long as ITV keep making it the way they are, it will run and run in it’s current form.”

Will shared his excitement about presenting the 25th anniversary after growing up watching Davina McCall and Emma Willis present the show.

He said: “I can’t believe it, I kind of didn’t really click, me and AJ are getting to work on the series during that anniversary, it feels big.

“I sort of pinch myself every time I think I work on Big Brother, so to be doing it on the 25th anniversary, I’ll have to pinch myself extra hard.”
