A 'Celebrity Big Brother' reboot is reportedly in the works at ITV.
Celebrity Big Brother could grace our screens once more next year
The beloved reality TV show, which sees 16 contestants compete for the £100,000 prize, recently returned to screens after a 5-year hiatus and it's said there are plans for the celebrity version of the programme to also make a triumphant comeback.
According to Broadcast, 'Celebrity Big Brother' is now being worked on, and will move from ITV2 - where the civilian version is currently airing - to ITV 1 at some point next year.
When ITV's director of reality commissioning Paul Mortimer was asked about the potential future of the show, earlier this year, he teased: "We have bought into Big Brother, a lot of us at ITV are BB fans. I can't imagine that we're in it to just do two six-week runs across 2023 and 2024. This is the start of it - so just watch this space."
There is still nothing confirmed at the moment, however.
Speaking to RadioTimes.com, a spokesperson for ITV said: "At present, we are focused on the current series of Big Brother, and any announcements regarding future series will be made in due course."
The 'Celebrity Big Brother' spin-off originally aired in 2002, with the likes of Katie Price, Ryan Clark and Gemma Collins stepping into the famous house.
The final series saw former 'Coronation Street' actor Ryan Thomas emerge victorious, with the likes of Kirstie Alley, Sally Morgan, Jermaine Pennant, Roxanne Pallet and Jessica Alves also appearing.
Both the celebrity and normal version of the show were axed by Channel 5 in 2018, before the recent ITV revival.
'Big Brother' currently airs on ITV2 every night other than Saturdays at 9pm. The show is also available to stream on ITVX.
