Big Brother reboot to see iconic show legends return to stir things up

Big Brother host reveal – coming soon to ITV2 & ITVX

It looks as though Big Brother fans could be seeing some familiar faces in ITV’s reboot as stars of the original series are set to be making an appearance.

According to an inside source, bosses of the refreshed version want to recreate the popularity the Channel 4 show had when it first aired over two decades ago.

The source said: “They (past contestants) have really fired the imaginations of show bosses because they are keen to recapture the magic that made the programme such a hit when it launched 23 years ago.

“It won’t be a reboot full of old faces, it’s likely to be a smattering rather than a deluge of BB veterans.

“They know that they need the random mix of people that featured in the original C4 version, so this is a way to help achieve that.”

The source continued: “They (bosses) actually want the quirky, often controversial characters that are going to stir things up and make things interesting.

“Many of the names in the frame have proven track records in that respect.”

Although there have been no names revealed as of yet, there’s already been some speculation as to which original stars could be returning to the infamous house.
