Big Brother is back! It's bigger and better than ever before and this time two hosts will be helming the mayhem.
Strictly Come Dancing's AJ Odudu and T4's Will Best will be presiding over the iconic show and they have no fears about taking up the torch from previous presenters Davina McCall, Emma Willis and Brian Dowling.
"I certainly don't feel like I'm going to be stepping into anyone's shoes," AJ, 35, says.
"I absolutely adore Davina McCall, and the same goes for Emma Willis, who is actually a really good friend of mine.
"I don't want to be like Davina or Emma. I just want to be like me."
The reality competition has found a new lease of life on ITV after five years away from our screens, with a brand new house, contestants and presenters.
"I hope everyone is ready to see someone who's never looked like me, never sounded like me and never been like me on their screens hosting such an iconic show," AJ says. "I'm nervous. I've got butterflies taking on such a big role, but I'm really excited."
For Will, 38, who appeared on Channel 5's Big Brother's Bit On The Side with AJ, hosting the reboot of the main show is a dream come true. "If you asked me 15 years ago what is the one show you would like to present the most, it would be Big Brother. I was obsessed with it," he gushes.
"And you don't always get to work with a really good mate on something this high-profile. Being able to go out there and do a show like this alongside AJ, who I think is the funniest, loveliest person in the world, I know it's going to be fun."
Will was so shocked to get the call-up that his colleagues thought he'd received bad news. "I was on another job and it was top-secret stuff. I was so serious in my reaction - and I swore quite a lot - that as soon as I got off the phone, everyone said, 'Are you OK?'
"They thought I'd had a bereavement!"
