THE ITV boss in charge of the reboot of Big Brother has dropped the biggest hint yet that they'll also do a celebrity spin off.<\/p>\n
Head of Reality TV and ITV2, Paul Mortimer, also confirmed there'll be at least two series of the show which will return this autumn.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
He said that the casting process and the building of the BB house was nearly complete – and had more detail on what time it would air on ITV2.<\/p>\n
Talking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, he said: "It will be a hit. Its looking\u00a0fantastic. The house looks amazing. We've got a six week run coming up, that's our first foray into it, but it will be back next<\/span> year of course.<\/p>\n "We have a 10pm show after the 9pm show – so two hours of Big Brother\u00a0every evening (then) from 11pm you can go to ITVX to watch the live feed into the small hours."<\/p>\n Asked specifically about the prospect of a celebrity spin-off, he said: "We have bought into Big Brother, a lot of us at ITV are BB fans. I can't imagine that we're in it just to do two, six week runs across 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n "This is the start of it – so just watch this space."<\/p>\n The revival of Big Brother is expected to kick off this October for a six-week run after ITV revealed they had acquired the series last summer.<\/p>\n It will be the first edition of the reality show since 2018 when it came to an end on Channel 5 after 19 regular editions and a whopping 22 celebrity series. <\/p>\n AJ Odudu is teaming up with Will Best to front the reboot which has promised to be diverse in its casting.<\/p>\n <\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Bosses have reportedly shunned Love Island wannabes from competing in the programme in favour of 'everyday' individuals from all across the country.<\/p>\n Despite some changes being made, including a new house location, the show's narrator, Marcus Bentley<\/span>, will be returning to provide his iconic voiceover.<\/p>\n The announcement was also the first confirmation that channel bosses will be airing a further edition of Big Brother next year as part of a two-year deal, a move which has delighted fans.<\/p>\nRead More on Big Brother<\/span><\/h2>\n
