Rylan Clark-Neal teases NEW series of Big Brother
2018's Big Brother 19 was said to be the last ever
Last updated 20th Mar 2019
Popular presenter Rylan Clark-Neal has just teased a potential new series of Big Brother, just weeks after Emma Willis announced the much-loved BB house was being demolished.
Last year's series of the show - Big Brother 19 - was believed to be the last ever after the show was axed by Channel 5 bosses; though former Big Brother's Bit on the Side host Rylan has now revealed that he'll stop at nothing to bring the beloved show back
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, Rylan said, "I’m adamant Big Brother will return, when and where I don’t know but I won’t rest until it does. I think Celebrity Big Brother is one of the most important shows on TV because we get to see people for who they really, really are and you’ve only got to look at.
"You’ve only got too look at the events over the last seven years, and how it has changed the perception of people who are genuinely really nice and people who actually aren’t."
This comes after he posted a cryptic tweet hinting at a return for the telly fave, posting a photo of what appears to be the show's new logo on Twitter, 'The new BBUK twitter has landed follow @ BigBrotherUK now x' sic.
WHAT IS HAPPENING, please?
Fans were obviously pretty confused as to what's going on, with one replying 'Seriously?,' another asking 'is it returning? 😛' and somebody going as far as to say 'Just have the celebrity version the other one isn't the same anymore.'
This all comes after former Big Brother host Emma Willis posted an emotional farewell to the old house, saying, "Sad times listening to this going on outside my dressing room this weekend... RIP BB house." sic.
