Blackburn's AJ Odudu and Will Best announced as hosts of ITV's Big Brother revival
Blackburn's own AJ Odudu and Will Best have been announced as the hosts of ITV’s revival of Big Brother.
ITV announced in August that it would be returning on ITV2 and streaming service ITVX with its famous house featuring a “contemporary new look”. Former St Bede's RC High School and St Mary's College pupil Odudu, who co-hosted the revival of The Big Breakfast and was a finalist on Strictly Come Dancing, and Best, known for fronting talent show Dance Dance Dance on ITV, will host the main show, presiding over weekly evictions and “quizzing” housemates on the events of the day.
“Following in the footsteps of some of my favourite broadcasting legends to front such an iconic show is an absolute honour – and to do it alongside my amazing friend Will is the icing on the cake.” Paul Mortimer, director of reality commissioning for ITV2 and ITVX, said “AJ and Will really are our perfect pairing as we prepare to reintroduce Big Brother to the next generation. With a genuine chemistry, both of them will bring effortless wit, charm and heaps of character to their roles and we’re delighted to be working with them both again.”
