BIG BROTHER REVEALS FIRST LOOK AT THE NEW GARDEN

Today on Good Morning Britain, Richard Arnold got a first look into the Big Brother garden ahead of the show’s return this Sunday 8th October at 9pm on ITV1, STV, ITV2, ITVX and STV Player.

Welcomed into the brand-new house by the nostalgic voice of Marcus Bentley, Richard said, “Hearing that voice and the music as well it takes you way back, [the show] which changed the broadcasting world forever… I’m sure it’ll live up to expectations.”

Although Richard was unable to share the highly anticipated bedroom, as it would reveal the number of this year’s participants, along the tour Richard shared with viewers that, “The living area is absolutely vast. There are two huge sofas, it’s the biggest communal area that I’ve ever seen in a Big Brother house over the years.”

Richard also explained how the show’s commitment to sustainability has had an impact on the interior design of this year's house, “There’s a bath on a plinth. Initially they were going to have a clear bath but it would have to come from China and the key message here in the house this year is sustainability.”

Richard also showed viewers a water tank that will collect rainwater, “Which undoubtedly ends up in the jacuzzi!”

Continuing his tour Richard said, “The diary room is a sight to behold, it's the biggest chair that I’ve ever seen.”

More updates for viewers will be the off-camera smoking area and an outdoor fireplace, which this year’s participants will occupy from Sunday.
