AJ Odudu confirms major Celebrity Big Brother show change - and it won't go down well
ITV Celebrity Big Brother is set to return to our screens next week with a new bunch of famous faces entering the most famous abode in Britain welcomed by AJ Odudu and Will Best
AJ Odudu has spilled the beans on the new-look Celebrity Big Brother house ahead of the show's 2025 series debut next week.
The ITV reality series is set to make a comeback on our screens this coming Monday (April 7), with a fresh batch of celebrities ready to settle into Britain's most notorious residence.
It's been officially announced that the Big Brother house has relocated, and host AJ has disclosed that the new digs are even cosier than before.
Chatting with the media, AJ said: "There's always twists and turns with Big Brother. The house is in brand new location and it's got a brand new layout. I know the house has been made slightly smaller which might heighten drama."
The ITV personality also shared her thoughts on what she'd introduce if she had a say, stating: "I would want a karaoke room with feather boas and a photo booth in the corner or maybe a stationary cupboard.", reports OK!.
"Everyone who has those office Christmas parties for example, they are always snogging in there. I remember one of my ex-boyfriends, we got together by snogging in the stationary cupboard. People photocopying their bums and stuff, that's the vibe and the level I want."
Despite their enthusiasm, AJ and her co-presenter Will Best are still in the dark about the celebrity line-up, although that hasn't stopped them from pitching their dream contestants to the show's producers – albeit without much success.
She detailed her experiences saying, "Every single series I've got a wish list. I'm literally texting the execs, texting the team and I'm like here's my dream list but your girl gets ignored. I get blanked. and I'm like 'excuse me, get them in'.
"I've always got a dream list up my sleeve but the team know what they're doing and they do not welcome my opinions."
Will chimed in with his thoughts, remarking, "We know nothing but you always know every series Big Brother is going to raise the stakes and raise the game and I think Big Brother showed that in the last civilian series. It was definitely a build on the first series on ITV.
"I think Big Brother was more mischievous and played with them more. I wouldn't go as far as saying evil but certainly up to some tricks and I reckon we're going to see the same thing for this celebrity series compared to the last one.
"Even last series we had Sharon [Osbourne] as a house guest. That was a never seen before thing so I would be very surprised if there's not something equally as new and different."
Celebrity Big Brother returns on Monday, April 7 at 9pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player
