Big Brother to reveal housemates in 48 hour countdown

Channel 5 today announces that for the first time ever in Big Brother history the new Housemates will officially be revealed before the Live Launch show.  The Big Brother: Timebomb 48-hour countdown will commence at 00:01am on Friday 8^th May on Big Brother’s official Twitter feed @BBUK (https://twitter.com/bbuk) and on the official Big Brother website (bigbrother.channel5.com).

Once the countdown hits zero at 00:01am on Sunday 10^th May all of this year’s new housemates will officially be revealed on @BBUK and bigbrother.channel5.com.  BB fans will have two days to get to know the new housemates before they see them walk live into the Big Brother arena; meet Emma Willis and enter the doors of the most famous house in Britain.

Big Brother has scoured the UK and Ireland once again for a fantastic troop of eccentric, entertaining and unique Housemates.  From the moment the new Housemates walk through those doors they’ll enter the world of Big Brother: Timebomb.
