The new series of Celebrity Big Brother is set for three big changes as it relaunches.

The iconic show is set to grace our screens once again tonight after a six year break. Fans of the show can expect plenty of well-known faces entering the Big Brother house including a rumoured line-up including Ekin-Su and Sharon Osbourne.

AJ Odudu and Will Best will host the show after presenting the regular reboot last year. The pair have since revealed that there is set to be some shake-ups in the latest season, with more than one eviction happening each well being just one change. The first change will be that Will and AJ will be hosting the launch show live after last year's series was pre-recorded.

Previous series have been live but the 2023 reboot was filmed ahead of time. AJ said: "It’s going to be live. We filmed it as live before and they edited and all that jazz, but not anymore. We can now be trusted!" Will added: "It made sense from an edit point of view because otherwise you have so much time of people walking out of cars."

The spin-off show Late & Live will also return after each main episode for an hour long show. AJ confirmed: "Late & Live is returning every single night of the week with me and Will alternating it. "I always loved it when the housemates’ friends and family came into the studio, hopefully we’ll see more of that because once you’ve got the celebrity housemates as well, they’re bringing celebrity mates and celebrity family members so they are just going to be everywhere, and I can’t wait for that."

Celebrities will also be kept on the edge of their seats throughout the series as two evictions will happen each week instead of the usual one. Will explained that the mood of the house can be influenced by upcoming evictions, so the extra one is sure add some more tension.

He said: "We know from just chatting to housemates who have been in how the mood is affected by evictions and by nominations, so them happening more often cranks up the pressure and it will really mess with their heads. I almost think that Big Brother doesn’t need to do as much to bring out extreme reactions from celebs comparatively to the civilians but that doesn’t mean that Big Brother won’t do weird and wonderful things.

"I think Big Brother is easier the quicker and more completely that you can forget you’re being filmed. If you have anywhere in your mind that I’m actually being watched, this is being recorded, it would be super, super tough and make you behave in a more eccentric kind of way."
