Pre-BB: Big Brother 2016 set to have big changes and become “brand new”

Big Brother is only going to be Big Brother by name if reports are to be believed.

Channel 5 are set to completely revamp Big Brother as we know it ahead of the new series which launches next month. Big Brother’s Bit on the Side host, Rylan Clark-Neal warned to “expect the unexpected”.

Rylan said: “Everything’s coming very soon. The new look, new treatment, new feel. It’s a brand new show this year.

“Which is scary for me and Emma, scary for the production team, and very scary for the housemates. It feels like we’re starting a new school. It’s like going to big school.”

Rylan also commented on the rumour that celebrity Housemates could join the civilian Housemates.

“There’s still going to be a Big Brother in the summer and there’s still going to be a Celebrity Big Brother,” he cleared up. “This is the first year I’m out of the loop because I have to be.

“Be prepared for the unexpected, and I can say that more for this than any other series of Big Brother.

“I mean, I’d love it, but when I say celebrities, I don’t think we’re talking A-listers. I don’t think we’re talking massive but I do like the concept of mixing it up. But for us, it’s a brand new show this year.”

Big Brother returns to Channel 5 next month, while you can catch Rylan on Up Late With Rylan every Monday-Thursday at 11pm.
