The new class

Big Brother 2023 may now be over, but show bosses are already looking ahead to next year.

During the live finale, which saw Jordan crowned as the winner, host AJ Odudu confirmed applications for the 2024 series are now open.

Eagle-eyed fans and hopeful contestants have jumped straight on the application form and claimed it says they will have to set aside “eight weeks” for the show.

This would make it two weeks longer than the 2023 series, which wrapped last night. Exciting!

Fix row

Big Brother was hit with cries of “a fix” during the epic finale on Friday night.

Five housemates had made it to the last leg – Jordan, Henry, Yinrun, Oliva and Noky – but fans weren’t happy about the order they exited.

Noky was first out, followed by Yinrun. And people were stunned to see the Chinese housemate finish in fourth place.

Angry fans took to X – formerly Twitter – to vent their frustration and share their admiration for fan-favourite Yinrun.

One fan penned: “No I did not just hear Yinrun 4th place?? What type of fix is this?”

Celebrities, get ready…

With the civilian Big Brother now over, fans are desperate for the upcoming series of Celebrity Big Brother to begin.

And one familiar face has dropped a very big hint that he could be entering the house – again.

Brian Dowling Gourounlian won the second series of the show in 2001 and later presented two series’ of BB and four CBB series’.

He also won Ultimate Big Brother in 2010.

Brian has now cryptically told The Sun: “If the money was right. That’s the only way they could get me back in the house for a third time. I’m the ultimate housemate. There’s no one else that’s an ultimate.”
