This is Big Brother. Please swear as much as you like here

[TellingBone]

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

Signing in ...can't wait !!!

Marking place!

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

Thanks for the reminder!

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 ...

I’m in!

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

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

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.

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 🤞🏼

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

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.

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

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

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!!

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

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.

Bit weird without Davina 🙂

Here we go

Not the same without Davina.

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

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