Big Brother was originally created by producer John de Mol in 1997 with the programme first being broadcast in the Netherlands in 1999.
The name of the show is inspired by George Orwell's literary classic Nineteen-Eighty-Four which details a dystopian society featuring near-constant surveillance and an ever-present figure known simply as Big Brother.
Following on from the success of the Dutch show, a British edition was commissioned by Channel 4 and broadcast yearly until 2018.
As of 2025, there have been 1540 episodes of the show, with Big Brother having over 63 franchises globally.
ITV have been approached for comment about the new series.

Lisa Jewell shares 'clever and gripping' crime novel she can't wait to read on holiday
She's one of the UK's most-loved authors, and it turns out she's also a big fan of a good thriller. Here's the one book Lisa Jewell planning on reading this summer - and it's a must-read for crime fans A holiday just isn't complete without tucking a gripping novel into your bag. If you're planning to while away the hours lounging by the pool or on the beach, an exciting book is essential for your entertainment. Thankfully, with authors like Lisa Jewell writing page-turners, there's no shortage of reading material - especially if you're partial to a nail-biting thriller novel. The British author, famed for her suspenseful novels such as The Family Upstairs and None Of This Is True, has recently shared her top pick for her 2025 holiday read – a must for any crime fiction fan. In a chat with Woman and Home, Lisa revealed that the one book she's eager to dive into this summer is the 'clever and gripping' Her Many Faces by Nicci Cloke. Discussing her holiday plans, she shared: "We are having two or three micro holidays. The first is in Taormina in Sicily, and the book I'll be reading is Her Many Faces by Nicci Cloke. It's about a poisoning at a club in London and the waitress who stands accused of it." Despite being a recent release, the novel has already amassed an impressive average rating of 4.4 stars on Amazon and 4.1 stars on Goodreads, accompanied by a slew of rave reviews from other famous crime writers like Lucy Foley and Gillian McAllister, reports the Express. It's even been dubbed 'the new Gone Girl', so fans of the genre should definitely add this to their reading list. What is Her Many Faces about? The story of this thrilling novel follows waitress Kate, who is on trial for murder after four 'wealthy and influential members of London's most exclusive private club' are poisoned. The story unfolds brilliantly from the viewpoint of five men in Kate's life- her dad, a mate from her younger days, her romantic partner, her legal representative and a hack. Each of these characters holds distinct views about Kate and whether they reckon she's got it in her to commit murder. With her existence now facing relentless scrutiny, she's doing everything possible to clear her name whilst trying to keep it together. Book lovers have been singing the praises of Her Many Faces, particularly highlighting how captivating the storytelling approach is, being narrated by those in Kate's inner circle. One reader penned a glowing Amazon review: "This was a really gripping read. Fast-paced and told from five men's perspectives of Katie, who is accused of the murder of four. "The short chapters and changing perspectives kept the story moving with a number of twists and turns as these five narrators told five very different version of a young woman. I was kept guessing the whole way through and really enjoyed the ending." Another raved: "This is a stunning thriller that is original and compelling. The format is exceptional and works to show themes of misogyny and how we exist through people's eyes."
