Launch show tonight 9:00pm on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX. I understand that housemates actually entered the house last night and that part was recorded.

Broadcasts will be at the same time nightly, followed six nights per week by Late and Live, and then a live stream after that on ITVX.

Bring it

Marking place!

OldTinHat · 08/10/2023 12:11

I've only ever watched the celebrity ones so am determined to give this a go!

Thanks for the reminder!

Mouldyfoodhelp · 08/10/2023 13:01

They've released a video and photos of the house on their twitter page

Also 12 pics of an eye of each HM

Must say they all appear to be youngish. I was hoping for a range of ages.

Can't wait ...

Haggisfish3 · 08/10/2023 13:14

I’m in!

Mouldyfoodhelp · 08/10/2023 13:15

There's a link on Reddit of someone claiming they were at the launch they reckon the oldest was about 40 but someone else commented saying ITV said there'd be people hitting 50

Mouldyfoodhelp · 08/10/2023 13:21

I hope I'm wrong and I get that they probably didn't want to come across all serious but the way they were speaking about being respectful to the housemates online seemed infantile. I hope that's not the presenting style they're going for

Rollergirl11 · 08/10/2023 13:45

Who do you think the show is being aimed at? People that watched it before? I’m trying to get 17yr old DD to watch with me tonight as DH isn’t interested and I’d like to have a viewing partner. It’s completely not on her radar. We enjoy watching LI together so hoping I can ignite some interest from her.

MamaToABeautifulBoy · 08/10/2023 13:51

Can’t wait! Really hope some of the housemates will be relatively normal / relatable, if dysfunctional, like the early days of BB, and not the Insta ‘models’ / desperado types that are usually on these types of programmes nowadays. If the latter is the case, I’ll switch off 🤞🏼

WallaceinAnderland · 08/10/2023 14:13

I have no doubt the housemates will be a diversity tick box with the 40 year old representing the elderly.

HuwEdwardsBottom · 08/10/2023 14:57

The oldest housemate is over 50. There is also a butcher and a doctor amongst the housemates. So far so good. I’ve got to say the new house looks amazing, but I’m not sure it’s will ever work like it used to without the live feed.

It's hard to say with it being the first series on a new channel but I feel it'll be geared to a younger audience

Live feed in ITVX after Live and Late every night

But there should be 24/7 live feed like there used to be.

Daisyislazy · 08/10/2023 15:35

I hope it's good , I used to love this show

GrandTheftWalrus · 08/10/2023 20:01

I'm going to watch the launch. I hope its back to the early way and not just people wanting to be famous

ishouldprobablygettherapy · 08/10/2023 20:05

I am SO excited to watch this tonight. I've been waiting so long. It's borderline embarrassing how much I'm looking forward to it. So I really hope it doesn't disappoint!!

AlphaAlpha · 08/10/2023 21:02

Bloody hell this is giving me goosebumps! Stopped watching BB in 2007/8, watched a few of the CBBs, but drawn to this tonight!

Redcrayons · 08/10/2023 21:03

I’m watching.
huge fan back in the day, less so for the last few series. Big fan of the MN BB threads.
Can’t help getting a bit excited listening to the theme song.

MrJollyLivesNextDoor · 08/10/2023 21:03

Bit weird without Davina 🙂

merrickmckinney · 08/10/2023 21:04

Here we go

wishihadagoodone · 08/10/2023 21:04

Not the same without Davina.

I'm also dying to know how AJ got into that catsuit!

the80sweregreat · 08/10/2023 21:04

How did the lady presenter get into her outfit ?
Welsh man seems a tad annoying !!
