The hosts of the highly-anticipated ITV reboot of Big Brother have been confirmed, and a fan-favourite is jumping on board.
After months of speculation, it’s finally been announced that AJ Odudu is indeed taking up the mantle of presenting the reality series, alongside TV personality Will Best.
After it was rumoured that AJ was in ‘final talks’ for the role, fans will be ecstatic that she is officially taking part.
The news broke in a tantalising teaser for the show, which showed close ups of AJ and Will’s eyes – imitating the iconic Big Brother eye logo – as the theme music played in the background.
The co-hosts then came into full view, as several fans reacted with excitement on social media.
‘Yassssssssssssssss stellar hosts,’ one person commented, as another wrote: ‘I’m so happy!!!’

‘Never been so excited for a show to come back,’ one Twitter user added.
TV presenter Jamie East congratulated AJ on her new position, writing: ‘Huge congrats @AJOdudu – what a comeback!’
Will shared the teaser on his personal Instagram account, captioning it with a simple eye emoji, as AJ commented a huge ‘yay’ with excitement.
AJ also posted the clip, writing in a statement: ‘This is not a drill! I’m beyond excited to finally be able to say that, I am hosting Big Brother! 👁️💥
