Moreover, It has been reported that Rylan Clark, the Strictly star, and an esteemed TV presenter, will take the reins of the rebooted program. The network has also āconfirmedā that AJ Odudu and Will Best will be hosting the show. The renowned show, which premiered in the year 2000, is known for confining participants to a house and surveilling them with cameras for the public’s gratification.
According to insiders, Rylan Clark had been in talks for several months to take up the role of host for the upcoming Big Brother reboot. It was in the works while ITV bosses were still finalising the details of who would join AJ Odudu as co-host.
Rumours circulated among fans that Rylan would return to the show after he won the celebrity version in 2013.
However, Rylan Clark has recently refuted the claims that he departed the BBC show to host Big Brother. “I just want to say publicly to all the Strictly family, I love you dearly, thank you for the last four years,” he stated.
While speaking on the radio, he added, “Can I just confirm, please as well, Iām seeing all the rumours. Please carry on with your rumours, I aināt going anywhere darling. “It was just my time to say thank you and you know, go, and I donāt know, sit indoors in my pyjamas for a bit.”
As fans eagerly await the return of Big Brother to their screens, it’s worth remembering that Rylan Clark was the winner of the show in 2013, and he credited it for launching his career.
Moreover, the Big Brother UK’s official Twitter account posted a throwback video featuring the former housemate reflecting on the show’s influence on him. He also reminisces about his most cherished moments from the series.
Big Brother has always been proud to include housemates from all walks of life, and we hope we've challenged a few attitudes along the way. It warms our hearts to hear @Rylan talk about how the show helped him. š³ļøāšā¤ #BBUK pic.twitter.com/zXGBptyO0j

To further add, it was shared that, “AJ and Will did a brilliant screen test together and their chemistry was brilliant. They are great friends too, so to be able to work together is really exciting. They could not be more excited about joining forces to bring back Big Brother. AJ and Will are going to be formally announced by ITV really soon and they canāt wait to get stuck in.”
