ITV confirms Big Brother 2025 start date and 'new look' for show
Big Brother UK will return later this year and fans should gear up for the show having a completely new look It's been a whirlwind few hours following the Love Island final, and the excitement doesn't stop there. ITV has now confirmed the return of Big Brother later this year, with a brand new look for the 2025 show. The upcoming series, which has been confirmed by the broadcaster to air in September, will mark its third instalment after having switched from Channel 4 back in 2000. A fresh batch of contestants will enter the house, under Big Brother 's watchful eye. Presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best will return to screens, with the show tipped to offer fresh twists, elaborate challenges, intense nominations and live evictions, as the housemates compete for the all-important cash prize. ITV shared some exciting teasers for fans of the popular reality show during the ad break for Love Island, including images of the revamped colourful eye logo, suggesting that the wheels are already in motion. One of the most exciting parts of Big Brother for fans is the big house reveal, which always switches up theme every year in a bold and stirking new design, so we will need to keep our eyes peeled for those updates. Meanwhile, Big Brother Late and Live is also set to return, offering an additional serving of exclusive Big Brother content, including heated discussions and hot takes from the celebrity guest panel. And those who like to indulge in 24/7 action will be glad to know that the Live Stream will also return, airing seven nights a week exclusively on ITVX, following the extra drama and gossip of Big Brother Late and Live. While the exact premiere date for the new series remains unconfirmed, it's believed to launch either on Sunday, September 28 or Monday, September 29. The 2024 series crowned Ali Bromley as the champion, securing a staggering 52 per cent of the final vote. The latest Celebrity Big Brother series also captivated audiences worldwide when it aired earlier this year with a string of well-known faces. Coronation Street's Jack P Shepherd clinched the title just months ahead of his wedding to Hanni Treweek. However, the spotlight of that series was firmly on Love Island contestant Chris Hughes and singer JoJo Siwa. The pair formed a close bond during their time in the house, although they maintained it was purely platonic. After leaving the show, former Dance Moms star JoJo ended her relationship with Kath Ebbs and soon after went public with Chris. Romantic sparks are not uncommon among housemates, with Jordan Sangha and Henry Southan also striking up romance during the 2023 series. However, the pair announced their surprising separation in April. There's no doubt eagle-eyed fans will be on the lookout for yet more romance as the 2025 series returns later this year.

Love Island producers 'forced to buy more condoms' as unaired scenes turned 'messy'
Another series of Love Island has sadly come to an end as millions watched Toni and Cach take the crown last night - but one raunchy secret was kept on the downlow - until now... Last night, millions watched on as Toni and Cach took home the crown in what has been named as the raunchiest Love Island series yet. The 12th series of the iconic ITV2 reality show had more arguments than we can count, but there was reportedly a lot more going on behind closed doors as producers OG fans who watched the show back from 2015 will remember ITV showing some NSF work scenes, most memorably the explicit 'over the covers' scene with Terry and Emma in season 2. Now, things are much more reserved, but it doesn't mean things don't happen off camera. It comes after Maya Jama shared her true feelings over Harry and Shakira's reunion. Spilling all the tea to Christine Lampard on Tuesday morning's Lorraine the day after the final, Aftersun panellist Joe Baggs revealed this had been the 'raunchiest' season in history - with producers having to make one huge change to cater to the contestants. Speaking to Christine asked whether it was true that it had been the raunchiest series to date. Letting ITV viewers in on some behind the scenes raunchy secrets, Joe said: "Yes. There's been a lot going on in that bedroom. I actually went in to the bedroom. "They had a night where the camera was off and it was quite a mess," he laughed. "Apparently they had to bring in extra condoms, extra protection for this series of Love Island and they used them all up. "I actually saw quite a few packets on the floor, so..." he said as Christine expressed her shock. This series, fans were left shocked during one particular scene between Harrison, Lauren, Harry and Helena. As the Islanders got cosy in bed, Harrison and Lauren decided it wasn't time for lights out just yet - as he reached over to ask Harry and Helena if he could borrow a condom. Harrison could be seen reaching over to Helena and Harry's bed via the night cam, as he asked: "Do you have a condom?" Harry and Helena could be seen in hysterics as Helena quickly pulled one out the drawer, with Harry passing it over. The couple then got under the covers, as the cameras panned to them kissing - but not much more was shown. And just days before the final, fans were left "horrified" during some very raunchy bedroom scenes between Meg and Dejon. After kissing and making up following their huge spat after date night, Meg and Dejon were filmed getting hot and steamy under the blankets, but viewers were less than impressed as they called the scenes 'disgusting'.

Lisa Faulkner teases secret filming project after ITV stood by her husband John Torode following his BBC axing
Lisa Faulkner has teased her secret filming project after she returned to work following her husband John Torode 's BBC axing scandal. Her husband John, 60, was fired from MasterChef after 20 years following an allegation of racism last month, after he revealed he was the subject of a claim that was upheld as part of an inquiry into his co-star Gregg Wallace. While she did not confirm which show she was working on, Lisa, 53, posted a glamorous selfie following a mystery shoot. She wrote: 'Thought I would share a pic of today's shoot. Was so lovely to see my @justwade makeup and the brilliant @lill_lis cooking and chatting and filming with the loveliest team ♥️' Lisa shared a picture from the back of a car on Monday morning and said she was heading to work. She co-hosts the ITV show John & Lisa's Weekend Kitchen with her husband as well as working as a contributor on Lorraine. Following John's unceremonious departure from the broadcaster, Daily Mail revealed that ITV, where John also fronts TV shows, were backing him. Sources at ITV recently told us that it will continue to broadcast the tenth series of John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen rather than pulling it from the schedule. The much-loved cookery show, which launched in 2019, features Lisa and John as they showcase their favourite recipes. An ITV source said: 'There is no change to the ITV schedule and John and Lisa's Weekends will be broadcast as usual and will continue to air for the next three weeks.' There are also plans for the broadcaster to welcome John back later in the year with John & Lisa's Christmas Kitchen in December. The Australian chef was dramatically axed from MasterChef - hours after the BBC's director general refused to back him over an allegation of racism. The corporation said the host's contract would not be renewed after a report found he had used an 'extremely offensive racist term' during drinks after filming the show. The complaint against John was revealed in the report into co-presenter Gregg's inappropriate behaviour. ITV are standing by under fire John, despite his BBC axing from MasterChef following an allegation of racism (pictured together in 2024) Gregg, 60, was sacked after dozens of complaints against him were upheld. Last month, John identified himself on as an unnamed person in the report who was accused of using 'racist language'. However, the presenter said 'he had absolutely no recollection' of the incident and did 'not believe that it happened'. But in a statement, the BBC said: 'This allegation - which involves an extremely offensive racist term being used in the workplace - was investigated and substantiated by the independent investigation led by the law firm Lewis Silkin. 'The BBC takes this upheld finding extremely seriously. 'We will not tolerate racist language of any kind and we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. John Torode's contract on MasterChef will not be renewed.' Hours before the announcement, BBC director general Tim Davie had refused to back John and said he expected 'action to be taken' over the allegation. He delivered the remarks as the BBC released its annual report - an occasion overshadowed by controversies for the second year in a row. Last year's was published amid the fallout over news presenter Huw Edwards who pleaded guilty to possessing indecent images of children. Asked about the John racism row, Tim Davie said: 'The BBC in some ways are quite simple on this - if someone is found to not live up to our values we expect the independent company, Banijay in this case, to take action and report back to us on what they have done. 'These are not BBC employees, but we absolutely expect action to be taken.' Tim added: 'I think a great programme that's loved by audiences is much bigger than individuals. It absolutely can survive and prosper, but we've got to make ing drinks sure we're in the right place in ness terms of the culture of the show.' It had been alleged by a source close to John that he had used an inappropriate racial term during drinks after filming. The witness claimed he had apologised immediately and 'was mortified' and he 'didn't use the term as a slur'. No one complained at the time but the incident was brought up during the inquiry into Gregg, they said. Responding to his sacking, John said: 'I'd hoped that I'd have some say in my exit from a show I've worked on since its relaunch in 2005, but events in the last few says seem to have prevented that.' He said he 'had loved every minute' working on the show but it was 'time to pass the cutlery to someone else'. 'Life is everchanging and ever moving and sometimes personal happiness and fulfilment lay elsewhere,' he added.
