After a five-year absence, the most famous house on television is back. The rebooted series of Big Brother, returning to ITV, will be hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best, and will see new housemates take up residence in the house for the next six weeks.

Located at Garden Studios in Brent, north-west London (its previous home was Elstree Studios in Borehamwood), this year's custom-built Big Brother house has been decorated in dopamine-inducing colours, from a cobalt blue freestanding bath to green kitchen cabinets and a pink island.

In an interview with Deadline, ITV commissioning editor Peter Tierney described it as 'the best Big Brother UK house ever and potentially one of the best anywhere in the world'.

The main living area

The hub of the home is a modern, circular sitting area which will become the focus of eviction nights. There are lots of curves (geometric rugs, colourful round stools and a curvilinear sofa), and punchy, vibrant colours used throughout, from dusky teal to rust orange (the multicoloured arched hallway is a particular highlight), as well as plush velvet furnishings.

Notably there's a lot of wood, from the kitchen island to wood panelling used on the walls in the main living area, plus brickwork to convey warmth and character and to add texture.

A new addition to the house, and a first for BBUK, is a mezzanine level with a glass wall which allows housemates to overlook the communal living space. To ensure the upstairs area is fully accessible, it can be entered either via stairs or a specially installed mobility lift.

Meanwhile, out in the garden, the Jacuzzi once again takes centre stage and there's even a water tank to collect rainfall to power the hot tub. Additional features include a cosy patio-style seating area and a seating nook in the shape of Big Brother's famous eye.
