Applicants wanted for next series of Big Brother later this year

We all know someone who would be great in the Big Brother house

The hit reality show returned to the nation's screens last year, and casting is now open for the next series.

The iconic reality television show first aired on Channel 4 in 2000, and stayed with the broadcaster for a full decade before moving over to Channel 5 from 2011.

In 2018, the doors were indefinitely closed on the famous Big Brother house, but it returned last year, with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best on ITV2 and ITVX.

The series will be returning later this year on the broadcaster, and they're looking for a fresh batch of contestants to enter the house for the chance to win a huge cash prize, and country-wide fame.

In a casting call for new contestants, the show said: "We’re looking for the nation’s most interesting, funny and entertaining characters from all walks of life.

"Think you’ve got what it takes to be a great housemate?"

You've got a bit of time to put your perfect application together, with the window closing on Wednesday July 31 at midnight.

But in fairness, it's probably best to not think too much about this sort of application and just be your natural self.

You must be 18 or over to apply.

If you think you've got what it takes to survive the Big Brother house, you can apply here.
