Fans of gripping, classic reality TV, we have good news. The Big Brother 2024 cast has officially been announced — and based on the big personalities entering the house, this season is already shaping up to be an all-timer.
The show, which sees a group of people living under one roof where they are filmed 24/7, returned after a decade-long break last year. Jordan, a 26-year-old lawyer, ultimately took home the £100,000 cash prize.
Now, 16 new Big Brother contestants are vying for the prize, with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best announcing the line-up in a live studio show on Sunday October 6.

What they'll bring to the house: Khaled's specialty is ‘Adlerian psychology and philosophy’. He added, “I tell it like it is – that’s a guarantee. Even though I feel like I can positively say something with the right intention, there will still be someone who has a problem with it.”

What they'll bring to the house: “Being too loud, being annoying and being messy," is what's likely to get her evicted. Her goal? To do “one more crazy thing” before she settles down with her partner.

What they'll bring to the house: A long-time fan of the show, Dean is a “big softie” who also thinks he may talk a little too much for the other contestants' liking. “Sometimes if there’s a silence I like to fill it. I’ll probably get nominated for talking too much,” he said.

Job: Charity videographer
What they'll bring to the house: He's bringing the awkward laughter (which Big Brother obviously needs). “I laugh in situations that are quite serious and people might feel disrespected," he said. "I do it just to bring some levity to situations, but I do laugh at inappropriate times.”
