Big Brother presenters revealed as Strictly star and former T4 host

2023-04-17

Presenter and formerly Strictly star AJ Odudu and T4 presenter Will Best will be announced as the presenters of the hotly-anticipated relaunch of Big Brother this autumn, it has been reported.

AJ, 35, is no stranger to the world of Big Brother as she co-presented the 2013 Channel 5 reality show spin-off Big Brother's Bit on the Side, alongside Emma Willis and Rylan Clark.

Will Best, 38, is known for presenting T4 and hosting talent show Dance Dance Dance.

Big Brother is one of the UK's most iconic shows, and it will make its grand return to air this autumn, on its new home of ITV.

A source told The Sun on Monday: "AJ has known since last year the Big Brother job was hers but she's been waiting for her co-host to be confirmed.

"AJ and Will did a brilliant screen test together and their chemistry was brilliant. It was a no brainer. 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."

An ITV spokesperson told OK!: "No talent are currently confirmed for the show and announcements will be made in due course."

Many people had been speculating that Rylan Clark could be gearing up to host Big Brother, and the rumour was sent into overdrive after he recently announced that he would be stepping down as host of Strictly Come Dancing spin-off show, It Takes Two.

Rylan even went as far as to shoot down the rumour online after a TV fan account queried: "Not that I am jumping to conclusions or anything but I AM JUMPING… IT Takes Two was always going to clash with Big Brother?"

"Ur jumping sadly," was Rylan's reply, seemingly ending hope of seeing him on the show.

Speaking on his BBC Radio 2 show on Saturday, Rylan told his listeners that the reason he had stepped down from presenting Strictly It Takes Two was because he wanted a break, as he said "I'm seeing all the rumours".

"So I just want to say publicly to all the Strictly family, I love you dearly for the last four years," the star said.

"Can I just confirm please as well, I'm seeing all the rumours. Please carry on with your rumours, I ain't going anywhere darling.

"It was just my time to say thank you and you know, go, and I don't know, sit indoors in my pyjamas for a bit."
