Applications for Big Brother 2023 are now open

Celebrity Big Brother has brought us absolutely iconic moments like Gemma Collins’ “I’m claustrophobic, Darren!” and Nikki Grahame’s “Who is she?” 

But now, it’s time for the British public to once again make their mark on Big Brother with their own big moments, as applications for the 2023 series are now open.

As per a press release, ITV has announced that the team are now on the lookout for ‘the nation’s most interesting, funny and entertaining characters who come from every corner of the country’ for their rebooted series of the reality show.

The statement goes on to iron out the finer details of the show if they get picked to entertain the British public with their one-liners and, at times, high-intensity moments.

ITV initially teased the upcoming series in Love Island's finale earlier this year, as the beloved and long-missed reality show is coming back on on ITV2 and ITVX after a five-year hiatus. 

It is set to introduce a new cast 'from all walks of life' that will take up residence in the world's most famous reality TV home.

The UK programme was originally presented by Davina McCall, known for her line: "Big Brother house, this is Davina. You are live on Channel 4, please do not swear."

When the show moved to Channel 5, season two winner Brian Dowling took over presenting. Emma Willis then took over for later seasons.

Dermot O'Leary, Russell Brand and celebrity contestant Rylan Clark and others presented the show's spin-offs such as Big Brother's Little Brother, Big Brother's Big Mouth and Big Brother's Bit On The Side.

Presenters for the upcoming series have not been announced but Irish singing duo Jedward, who appeared on the celebrity version of the show in 2011 and 2017, have offered themselves up for the role.
