CELEBRITY Big Brother Housemates will face – not just one – but TWO evictions a week.
The dramatic twist has been revealed by hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best as they gear up for the series launch on March 4.
The dynamic duo will meet up twice a week to host the live evictions, as well as continuing to present the daily Late and Live spin-off shows.
Will said: “It’s going to be two evictions a week. We’re going to get to have double the time together.
“We know just from chatting to Housemates how the mood changes during nominations. So nominations and evictions happening more often just cranks up the pressure.
“It will really mess with their heads.”
AJ interjected: “Every Friday, on the last series, when we saw each other we were like ‘ahh I’ve missed you’ because a week felt like a lifetime.
“Now actually we get to see each other midweek too.
“Also Big Brother Late and Live will be on every single night of the week again with me and Will alternating. I always loved it when the friends and family came into the studio.
“Now with Celebrity Big Brother, hey’ll be bringing in some of their famous mates and family members so I can’t wait for that.
“It’s always so good, face to face with all of the superstars getting their opinions.”
Long-term pals AJ and Will received rave reviews when they took over Big Brother’s relaunch on ITV last year.
Now a famous bunch of Housemates will enter the famous accommodation – but how will it differ to the civilian version?
“I think Big Brother can definitely be more mischievous and cheeky,” insists Will.
“The celebrities are used to being in the limelight. I wonder how they’ll react to the cameras.
“I do think celebs, taking them away from the luxury, no riders, economy budget, sharing the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.. that’s hard…
“Big Brother is almost easier the quicker and more completely you’re being filmed.
“If you’re aware you’re being recorded all of the time, super tough and make you behave in a more eccentric way.
“Although I almost feel as if Big Brother doesn’t need to do as much to bring out extreme reactions from celebs compared to the civilians.
“That doesn’t mean that Big Brother won’t do weird and wonderful things.”
AJ added: “I think that’s the best bit about Celebrity Big Brother.
“They think they’re all going to go in with a squeaky clean persona, edited how they like it.. but actually the control is taken out of their hands.
“Very simple things like all their luxuries being taken away will disarm them from the get go.”
She joked: “We’ll get to see the real ‘Janet Jackson’….”
The Sun has revealed a number of the household names set to enter the iconic home.
Bosses are believed to be shelling out a whopping £2million in order to secure the show’s biggest and best cast yet when it returns on March 4.
There have been some exciting rumours about who else might be heading in too, which you can see here.
However, an ITV spokesman has said: “All names are purely speculation.”
