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

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.

Big Brother is looking for the nation’s most interesting, funny and entertaining characters who come from every corner of the country. 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.
