Big Brother is coming back to our screens, and ITV has confirmed AJ Odudu and Will Best are to host.
The rebooted series is coming back, and fans are very excited.
You can see a teaser post for the new hosts below, who replace the iconic Davina McCall.
The new series is expected to last for six weeks, with AJ and Will overseeing the weekly evictions as well as a nightly live show.
The show was previously on Channel 4 and Channel 5, but ITV has now bought the rights to it.
AJ is known to many for starring on Strictly Come Dancing, and recently fronted the reboot of The Big Breakfast.
Of her new role, AJ said: “I’m so excited to finally be able to say that, yes: I’m hosting Big Brother! I couldn't be happier."
"Following in the footsteps of some of my favourite broadcasting legends to front such an iconic show is an absolute honor – and to do it alongside my amazing friend Will is the icing on the cake."
Best appeared on Celebrity Coach Trip and Dance, Dance, Dance.
He says the job is a “dream come true.”
"I grew up with Big Brother, so getting a chance to host it with my mate AJ is a dream come true. I can't wait to tell some housemates not to swear."
AJ had previously told the HuffPost that she would love the role: "Obviously, I’ve made no secret about how I would love to be considered to host such an iconic comeback, but who knows? You’ll just have to wait and see.
"It’s nice that everyone is excited that the show is coming back, because I’m excited even from a viewer’s perspective – this is what I’ve been missing on my TV and I cannot wait for it to come back!"
Casting is ongoing for contestants to appear in the house.
