BIG BROTHER 2023: Applications are now open if people from Barnsley fancy being a housemate!

The wait is finally over for aspiring Big Brother housemates as the applications for the show’s upcoming 2023 series have officially opened!

The new series from Initial (a Banijay UK company), set to air in 2023 on the original reality show’s new home on ITV2 and ITVX, will see a cast of fresh faces from all walks of UK life compete to charm the nation and win a life-changing sum of money.

Emma Willis was the most recent presenter of the series

Big Brother is looking for the nation’s most interesting, funny and entertaining characters who come from every corner of the country, and that includes the honest, no nonsense folk of Barnsley!

The final cast of housemates will live under the watchful eye of Big Brother, and the nation, for up to six weeks with cameras capturing their every move.

Over the course of the show, they’ll face a series of clever tasks, nail-biting nominations and live evictions, with the public once again playing a crucial role, voting throughout the series and ultimately determining the winner.

Craig Phillips was the shows first winner in 2000

Those who believe they have what it takes to take up residence in the iconic Big Brother House can now apply by visiting BigBrother.com. Applications to be a housemate will close on January 27th, 2023.

Big Brother first hit screens in the Netherlands in 1999. Since its debut, over 500 series of the show have aired around the world in over 64 countries and regions. The upcoming 2023 series on ITV2 and ITVX will mark the first time Big Brother returns to UK screens in almost five years.
