ITV is pulling all strings to make the comeback greater than ever with show hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best. They recently unveiled parts of the house on Good Morning Britainwith Richard Arnold.
Big Brother UK first look into the house
In the video that’s going viral on social media, Richard is seen standing in the lavish BB garden. The presenter revealed that sustainability is at the centre of the new house and there are some never-seen-before features in it.
The iconic garden has installed a tank to collect rainwater which will be used to fill up a large, circular jacuzzi. The outside area has ‘a bit of Love Island’ element with a lavish orange sofa around a fireplace set up. However, it isn’t as large as Love Island’s firepit area.
While Richard wasn’t allowed inside the house with the cameras, he teased viewers about different aspects of the house. The diary room is ‘a sight to behold’ as it showcases the biggest chair ever. Making the living room sound palatial, Richard said:
The living area is absolutely vast. There are two huge sofas, it’s the biggest communal area that I’ve ever seen in a Big Brother house over the years.
And while he was ‘sworn to secrecy’ about the details of the bedroom he revealed there are some double beds in the house. Meaning, the number of contestants entering the house may be more than just a few.
Rounding off his tour, he described the bathroom and said:
There’s a bath on a plinth. Initially, they were going to have a clear bath but it would have to come from China and the key message here in the house this year is sustainability.
Big Brother UK fans ‘disappointed’ with this feature of the house
While many fans raved about the lavish BB house, some found it a bit disappointing - to be fair, just one bit of it disappointing. Richard revealed that the renowned smoking room will have no cameras this time and just a microphone.
BB fans who realise that some of the most dramatic friendships and feuds took place in the smoking room, were utterly disappointed. They took to Twitter and wrote:
#BBUK NO SMOKING 🖐 spoilt a significant dynamic of the house. This sanitised version of a social experiment has failed before it’s begun. That’s the basis of most feuds and friendships. Crap TV
Smoking area was prime big brother, shame they had to get rid of it being shown on tv.
Not understanding why a show for adults won't allow Smoking scenes...
well thats a bit silly
Sooooo if they are having a decent conversation when smoking or there is some drama, you aren’t going to show it. Great!!!! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I get it. But it’s a shame that the smoking area is hidden away this series (but with a microphone). Always the centre of so much drama and gossip. Remember when they used to smoke IN the house?! How times have changed. #bbuk
