    ITV2 have dropped the first brand-new trailer for the Big Brother reboot.<\/p>\n

    In the short clip, hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best impersonate narrator Marcus Bentley.<\/p>\n

    Looking glam in a red dress, AJ can be heard saying: "8.49pm, AJ and Will are getting ready to go into the Big Brother house."<\/p>\n

    Her co-host Will also tries his best to impersonate Marcus and then the pair get interrupted by the voiceover icon himself.<\/p>\n

    Marcus says: "AJ and Will should still to presenting."<\/p>\n

    The new promo will air on ITV1 on Friday (September 8) during Ruby World Cup 2023.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The hosting duo will follow in the footsteps of Davina McCall, Emma Willis and Brian Dowling, who all presented the popular programme during its 18-year run on British TV, before it was axed in 2018 amid a ratings slump.<\/p>\n

    The programme, which sees housemates live together in a custom-built home for weeks without access to the outside world in a bid to win a cash prize, started in 2000 on Channel 4 before Channel 5 took over in 2011.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    ITV announced in August that the programme would be returning on ITV2 and streaming service ITVX, with its famous house featuring a "contemporary new look".<\/p>\n

    It will be the first UK version of the reality show since 2018 when it came to an end on Channel 5 after 19 regular seasons and 22 celebrity series.<\/p>\n

    Paul Mortimer, Head of Reality TV and ITV2, recently confirmed that there'll be at least two series of the programme when it returns to the channel this autumn.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Speaking at Edinbrugh TV Festival this week, Paul said that the house and casting process was nearly complete and he revealed what time the show will be airing on ITV2.<\/p>\n

    He said: "It will be a hit. Its looking fantastic. The house looks amazing. We've got a six week run coming up, that's our first foray into it, but it will be back next year of course.<\/p>\n

    "We have a 10pm show after the 9pm show – so two hours of Big Brother every evening (then) from 11pm you can go to ITVX to watch the live feed into the small hours."<\/p>\n

    When quizzed about the prospect of CBB returning, he said: "We have bought into Big Brother, a lot of us at ITV are BB fans.<\/p>\n

    "I can't imagine that we're in it just to do two, six week runs across 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n

    "This is the start of it – so just watch this space."<\/p>\n

    Big Brother returns this October on ITV2 and ITVX<\/b><\/p>\n
