Big Brother UK “returns with a new home on ITV with members of the public as roommates again”

It is reported that Big Brother will return to television screens next year on ITV with members of the public as roommates.

Reality Jaggernaut was originally broadcast on Channel 4 from 2000 to 2010 and hosted 54-year-old Davina McCall before moving to Channel 5 until 2018, where it hosted second series winner Brian Dowling, 43, and later Emma Willis, 46.

And the producers are apparently in talks to show it on ITV2 in 2023 after Love Island, as a television source told The Sun: “ITV is the home of television for big meetings. They know better than anyone how to organize big live events.

“The talks are still at an early and delicate stage and the next few weeks will be crucial.

“He needs full treatment and they are confident that they are the ones who can restore his legendary former glory. It has millions of fans and is one of the most iconic TV shows of its generation. ‘

ITV declined to comment when it contacted MailOnline.

The show began as a social experiment in 2000 and has become a stronghold in popular culture.

While ordinary members of the public became famous the moment they stepped into the house, a version of the celebrity show with famous roommates has also been airing since 2000.

The show featured some iconic moments over the years, with a staggering 3.5 million people voting for Liverpool builder Craig Phillips of Seafort, Merseyside, to win the £ 70,000 prize in 2000 at the end of the first series.

Big Brother’s inaugural series conquered the nation because of the then-unheard-of “social experiment” style combination.

As viewers continued to be fascinated by the season, Nick Bateman’s behavior was most shocking.

The city broker earned the nickname Nasty Nick after trying to cheat in the game and pass notes between contestants to influence nominations. He faced the eventual winner Craig.

Kate Lawler became the first female winner of the show in series three with 58.05% of the vote, but the appearance of the late Jade Goody on UK television screens was undoubtedly the peak of the drama in 2002.

Other big names include the only transgender winner Nadia Almada, Anthony Hutton and Makosi Musambasi, who shared a controversial moment in the swimming pool, the infamous late Nicki Graham, who became one of the most temperamental stars to decorate the show.

Meanwhile, people like the chic Essex boy Brian Bello and this morning’s hosts Alison Hammond and Josie Gibson also became famous on the show.

The program, which was seen as a revolutionary social experiment when first aired in 2000, was initially a huge success, with the finale of the first series gathering 9.45 million viewers, but was discontinued in September 2018 after 18 years in broadcast on Channel 4 and Channel 5.

Champion: Brian Dowling was the winner of the show’s second series in 2001 and later went on to host it on Channel 5 after appearing on Ultimate Big Brother.

An average of 5.8 million viewers per episode by its third season – but the numbers dropped to just 2.9 million per episode in 2009 thanks to competitions inspired by the shows he created, the only way being Essex.

Moving from Channel 4 to Channel 5 led to a record low on the show, with viewers dropping to 1.2 million last season.

The big brother of the celebrities also suffered a blow to his viewers in the sixth season, which followed the racing line of the fifth season. Athlete Jade Goody called Indian actress Shilpa Shetty “Shilpa Popadom”, which led to 10,000 complaints to Ofcom and 2,000 to Channel 4.

The average viewership per episode dropped from 4.6 million to 3.1 million by the sixth season.

With the advent of 2010, people began to switch off and switch to The X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing.
