Big Brother’s second civilian series has fans buzzing as the show, which relaunched last October on ITV2, gears up for another run. Presenting duo AJ Odudu and Will Best are set to return, brimming with enthusiasm about continuing their role in what they regard as the quintessential social experiment.
The pair recently confessed their plans to approach this series with a sense of enjoyment that was somewhat overshadowed by nerves during their first tenure.
In an interview with Mirror and other outlets, Will explained his initial apprehensions: “The first series there were so many nerves, we wanted to do justice to the format, we wanted to do justice to the show we ourselves love and would be avid fans of and watching.”
He continued expressing their preparedness for fun this time around, buoyed by positive feedback from viewers: “Now that we’ve seen how the audience responded to the way it was all put together, to the tone that was struck to the set, to the new house, to the feel it had being an ITV show, now that we’ve seen that worked – the feedback has been so lovely from people getting in touch and saying how much they loved it and how much it meant to them.
“This time I just want to focus on just enjoying it, we did enjoy the first one but there was that pressure, but now we’ll have fun with it,” Will shared insightfully.

Sharing the sentiment, AJ expressed her heightened anticipation: “I’m going into this next series with more excitement. What I’ve learnt from previous series is that you just never know what’s going to happen”, reports .
October saw the iconic reality TV house welcome a new group of contestants for a six-week stint on ITV, rejuvenating the much-loved Big Brother brand in Britain.
After six weeks of tasks, disagreements and plenty of entertainment, Jordan Sangha emerged as the winner of the show.
The success of the first civilian series led to a celebrity edition airing on ITV1 earlier this year, with Ibiza Weekender star David Potts taking home the crown.
Originally broadcasted on Channel 4 from 2000 to 2010, the show launched several stars into the limelight, including Alison Hammond, Josie Gibson and Kate Lawler.

Following a year’s hiatus, Big Brother made a comeback on Channel 5, ushering in a new era with Emma Willis at the helm.
Emma Willis succeeded Brian in 2013, continuing to host the show until its conclusion in 2018.
