Big Brother 2024 is almost here and ITV got fans all hyped up with the first look at the brand new eye logo. 

The infamous social experiment will return to screens later this year with a brand new batch of housemates, and to celebrate the return, ITV gave a sneak peek at what’s to come during the Love Island finale last night (29th July). 

Big Brother’s eye logo has been given a new makeover ahead of series 21, with the teaser footage showing the eye dripping in colourful tie-dye paint.

​​When does Gladiators series 2 start? Are Bradley and Barney Walsh returning as hosts? Who are the Gladiators taking part?

------------------------------------

AJ Odudu and Will Best will return as hosts, and while we haven’t been given a official date just yet, Big Brother has confirmed it will be back “this autumn.”

Big Brother finally returned to screens in October last year after a long four-year break, with the legendary house also getting a brand new look for the new era. 

That series was then followed by a fresh Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year, in which reality TV star David Potts walked away the winner. 

David shared the sparkling celeb-filled house with Heartstopper actor and Virgin Radio Pride presenter Bradley Riches, who recently sat down on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with webuyanycar to chat about his experiences on the rebooted series. 

Bradley finished sixth on the show, just narrowly missing out on the final, and was also given a backdoor eviction, meaning he didn’t exit to a full crowd waiting for him. 

He told Chris: “The day before the final, I got a backdoor eviction, which is when you don't go out to a crowd, you just go through the fire exit door. So that was a bit emotional, not for me, I was fine with it, but the public were a bit angry about that.”

Speaking about his surprise exit from the house, the actor said: “It’s just a bit of TV drama. None of us knew that there was an eviction going on. So six of us were left in the house. And then they go, ‘Oh yeah, you're gonna go meet a loved one.’ And then there's a room where I saw everyone meet a loved one, and then it was, ‘Oh Bradley, you're up next,’ the last person. And then the host walks in, and the lights go red, and goes, ‘You've been evicted. Leave the house.’”

The moment sparked 210 Ofcom complaints, but Bradley told Chris: “I was fine with it. It's a game at the end of the day, and I thought as soon as I left the house, I'd see my family, but it was 24 hours because I was in hiding, and then I saw my family.”

Louis Walsh, Colson Smith, David Potts, Fern Britton and Nikita Kuzmin made it to the final of the rebooted ITV series, with David being crowned winner.

Despite his backdoor eviction and the anger from the public, Bradley said his elimination was actually one of his “proudest moments” during the series. 

“That's why I didn't get upset,” he said on My Pride Playlist. “I wasn’t shocked that I was evicted. I've just been so grateful for this experience, so grateful to meet all these people, so grateful to be like, one of 10 who lived this moment, no one else lived it, and that was a really proud moment. 

He continued: “I felt fulfilled. I just walked out of there with my head held high, and I was just like, ‘I did that’.”

Big Brother will be back on ITV and ITX this autumn.
