Get ready for big personalities, diary room gossip and blazing rows –Big Brother is back for a second series on ITV2, with presenters Will Best and AJ Odudu returning to host.

the show initially made a comeback to screens for a reboot in 2023, having previously been cancelled by Channel 4 in 2010 and Channel 5 in 2018.

During the live launch tonight (6 October), Best and Odudu will introduce a new group of 16 housemates in front of a studio audience.

This year’s housemates will be hoping to replicate the success of Jordan, the 26-year-old lawyer who walked away with the £100,000 cash prize in 2023.

Jordan, from Scunthorpe, had gone down a treat with fans for his deadpan humour. When he won, he simply declared: “I need a drink.”

Meet all the new housemates, as they’re announced, below…

Rosie, 29, is a dental assistant from Cornwall/Essex. She said she reckons she’ll be a “supportive person” in the house, and is most likely to be nominated for coming across as “quite chaotic” and “being the most annoying”. In terms of what she’d do with the prize money, Rosie said: “I have a few friends that I’d love to pay for them to have IVF treatment. I would also like to help people with mental health issues. I like helping people anyway but if I had money I’d be in a better position to do that. I’d also love to help dog charities – I love dogs!”

Emma

Aesthetics business owner Emma is 53 and from Altrincham/Essex. She can’t decide whether she’s going to bring “peace” or “drama” to the house. Emma said she’s most likely to get nominated if people don’t get her humour and think she’s too “abrupt”. Her plans for the prize money are to give some to her kids, some to her 82-year-old dad, and rent a big villa for a lovely holiday with her “nearest and dearest”.

Segun

Segun, 25, is from Watford. He works as a charity videographer and says he is most likely to get nominated for “laughing in situations that aren’t funny”. He said: “I laugh in situations that are quite serious and people might feel disrespected. I do it just to bring some levity to situations, but I do laugh at inappropriate times.” In terms of what he’d do with the cash if he won, Segun said he’d help her mum fund the renovation of her house and donate some money to Cancer Research UK, where he’s worked.

Nathan

Nathan is a 24-year-old pork salesman from Dumfries, and he used to be Prince (and now King) Charles’s butler. He warned he is a “strong character” and that he likes to have a “spirited debate”, so people in the BB house should be ready for that. Nathan thinks he’s most likely to be booted out for “accidentally offending someone” if they “take something I’ve said the wrong way”. He admits that he’s “quite vain” so would spend the prize money on a new set of veneers.

Daze

Daze is a climate activist from London. The 24-year-old said she applied to be on Big Brother because “there’s something about allowing yourself to find moments of grace that really interested me”. In terms of what she’s most likely to be nominated for, Daze said: “Food! I like food a lot. I know that can sometimes be a contentious thing in the house. So I’m going to try to not eat too much.” And the prize money? “It’s been a difficult financial period for me – climate activism is quite often something you do in debt. It would be nice to have money to do the work. I’d also help my family, and other activists as well.”

Khaled

Sales manager Khaled is 23 and from Manchester, and he said he’ll bring chat about “Adlerian psychology and philosophy” to the house. What’s he most likely to be nominated for? “I tell it like it is – that’s a guarantee. Even though I feel like I can positively say something with the right intention, there will still be someone who has a problem with it.” With his winnings, he would donate money to Palestine and Lebanon, take his family on holiday and invest in a health business in the UK.

Martha

Martha, 26, is from Scarborough/Margate. She’s an NHS administrator who lives with her girlfriend, and is obsessed with Google and her pet rabbit. She said she might get evicted for being “the most annoying, or most loud”. What would she do with the money if she won? “I would buy my dream handbag. Then I’d take my mum to Disneyland and take my nan on a nice holiday.”
