Big Brother in huge show shake up for launch show as ITV clears schedules for first night | The Sun
BIG Brother's launch show won't be airing live when it returns next month – but for a very good reason.
The reality hit, which is getting a new home on ITV, will show the contestants arriving in a pre-recorded feature.
It will then show them settling in with action from the first night in their new home.
A TV insider explained: "The launch episode is set to be an exciting night. AJ and Will will introduce the nation to the new batch of housemates as they enter the brand-new Big Brother house in front of an audience.
"Not only will viewers see them walk through those famous doors, they'll also see all the best bits of the action from their first night in their new home, wasting no time in getting to know these new characters.
"Viewers can expect loads of live action as Big Brother: Late & Live will come live straight after the first episode from the site of the house.
