Big Brother 2026 launched last month (September 13) with another group of contestants allowing cameras to film them 24/7 and relay the results to millions of viewers.
First broadcast on Channel 4 in 2000, it was an instant sensation, as millions were glued to the antics of Nasty Nick, Craig Phillips and Anna Nolan.
It returned in 2023 for the first time in five years, moving to ITV from Channel 5.
This year’s series will be 54 days long, making it the longest since its switch to ITV.
There was some Scottish interest in the shape of Paisley bartender Millie Jarrett, but sadly she was the first to be evicted.
Chelsey Ammari was second to be voted out, before Charlotte Nott quit the show - leaving a dozen housemates remaining in the contest.
On Friday (October 2), Johanne became the third evictee after losing the public vote to Rochelle.
And, as if that wasn’t enough excitement, there was a surprise when two new housemates made a belated arrival into the competition.
Here’s how the bookies see all 13 housemate’s chances of winning the Big Brother crown.
