While fans are already counting down to the new series, it appears that renovations are well underway to transform the London property, with a huge new extension to expand the garden area.

Aerial images of the house show this year’s garden will be significantly larger than the last, offering plenty of space for this new crop of housemates to chat and gossip about each other.

A new square hot tub area – guarded by a garden gnome – offers even more space for the housemates to take a dip.

The outdoor stage has also been re-erected, and will be the focal point when 16 new housemates move into the house during the live launch next month.

In line with the new logo, the stage has been given a colourful makeover, meaning it will be hard to miss as the housemates head into the house during the live launch.

The original social experiment will return on Sunday 6th October at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX, along with a spin-off show and a live feed.

Just like the previous year for its Celebrity version, the show will be hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best.

Big Brother: Live Launch will unveil a new batch of housemates as they head into the nation’s most iconic house, which has been given a fresh lick of paint ahead of the new series.

Housemates will juggle elaborate tasks, live evictions, gripping nominations and the usual dose of drama.

Once again, the pubic will decide the fate of contestants as they vote throughout the series, with only one left standing to win the cash prize.

Meanwhile its eagerly-awaited spin-off Big Brother: Late & Live will also offer viewers ‘exclusive, unmissable action alongside hilarious discussions and deliberations’ with a star-studded panel of celebrity guests.

The Late & Live series will also remain the only place to watch evictees first live interview with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best.

The epic reboot will air seven nights a week on ITVX, giving fans the opportunity to watch live footage from the house.

Since its glorious return to screens last year on its new home ITV and ITVX, Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother, with the Live Stream and Late & Live companion show, have been streamed 70 million times.

Series 20 was won by Jordan Sangha, who is currently in a relationship with series housemate Henry Southan, who finished third.

Meanwhile last month, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has admitted she thought she was ‘cancelled’ after being accused of being ‘fake’ while appearing on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.

The Love Island winner revealed that she has spent the last few months in therapy after appearing on the ITV show.

After two weeks in the house, Ekin-Su became the fourth person to be evicted, after the other housemates accused her of being fake and playing a role.

She left to jeers and boos, and was so upset by the reaction that she didn’t attend the final.

Speaking to Fabulous Magazine the influencer has now said she ‘told her family she was cancelled’ and received several death threats following the appearance.

She said: ‘I felt like my career was over. I was getting death threats. I told my family I had been cancelled, packed a bag and left the country.’

Rather than blaming others, Ekin-Su said she is now in therapy and concluded that it was the ‘wrong decision’ for her to enter the house following splitting from ex boyfriend and co-star Davide Sanclimenti, 29.
