AJ Odudu and Will Best have been officially named as the new joint hosts of ITV's upcoming revival of Big Brother.
After a five-year absence, the iconic reality show is making a return for a new six-week run on ITV2 and streaming service ITVX at the end of the year.
For the first time Big Brother will be hosted by a duo, with Odudu and Best both presiding over the live shows, including weekly evictions, while they will also present a live nightly spinoff show.
"I'm so excited to finally be able to say that, yes: I'm hosting Big Brother! I couldn't be happier," said Odudu, who previously had a stint hosting Big Brother's Bit On The Side in 2013.
"Following in the footsteps of some of my favourite broadcasting legends to front such an iconic show is an absolute honour - and to do it alongside my amazing friend Will is the icing on the cake."
Best, a former T4 presenter, added: "I grew up with Big Brother so getting a chance to host it with my mate AJ is a dream come true. I can't wait to tell some housemates not to swear."
Paul Mortimer, ITV2's reality commissioner, said: "AJ and Will really are our perfect pairing as we prepare to reintroduce Big Brother to the next generation.
"With a genuine chemistry, both of them will bring effortless wit, charm and heaps of character to their roles and we're delighted to be working with them both again."
Applications for the new series remain open at bigbrother.com until the end of June.
