Why is E4 bringing us Big Brother: Best Shows Ever?
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the show’s UK launch in 2000.
In an exclusive statement, Davina said: “I lived and breathed Big Brother for 11 years.
“Not one week goes by when I don’t quote Big Brother in some form.
“It made me laugh, it made me cry and it taught me to never judge a book by its cover.
“I love the show and can’t wait to share it with a whole new audience.”
Rylan added: “I’m so excited to be bringing Big Brother back to our lives.
“There will be laughs, tears and drama, but most of all we get to relive some of Big Brother’s greatest episodes.”
What is the history behind Big Brother?
The premise of the series – where a group of housemates are locked away for numerous weeks in a house with every aspect of their time there filmed and broadcast to the nation – was an instant hit.
It became one of the most successful British TV shows of all time, and regularly drew millions of viewers per episode.
The final series was shown in 2018, with producers announcing it would come off air after 18 years.
It was first aired on Channel 4 before switching to Channel 5 in 2010.
