Four years after the lights went out in the iconic “Big Brother” house at Elstree Studios outside London, the show has sensationally announced a return.

The British version of the iconic reality TV series, which first launched 22 years ago, is set to return to screens in 2023 after what will be a five year hiatus. This time, however, it will be broadcast on network ITV2 and streaming platform Itvx.

From its launch in 2000 until 2010 the show aired on Channel 4 before moving to Channel 5 in 2011. It ran there for 7 years until Channel 5 finally retired the format in 2018. (Pictured above is Ray J entering the “Big Brother” house in 2017.)

“A new cast of carefully selected housemates, from all walks of life, will take up residence in the world’s most famous reality TV home for up to six weeks, with cameras capturing their every move, and the nation following every twist and turn,...

Jackiey Budden is planning to auction off her late daughter Jade Goody's possessions because she is struggling for money. The one-time 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant has had her benefit payments cut by the government after a new test concluded she is well enough to work, even though she lost the use of her left arm in a motorcycle accident in 1986. Jackiey has been told she must find a job but at present she is desperate for cash and has made the decision to sell-off various items that belonged to Jade - who died from cervical cancer in 2009 at the age...

Jeff Brazier has admitted that his relationship with Jade Goody's mother is still difficult. The TV presenter, who has two sons with the late Big Brother star, told the Huffington Post that he recently had to put his foot down when Jackiey Budden decided to spoil her grandchildren. "If any of you have experienced separation where kids are involved, you'll know the numerous pitfalls and stumbling blocks placed in our way when it comes to maintaining an amicable relationship," he wrote in a blog post. "Well, recently I have been re-introduced to the feeling of 'them and us' by Jade's mum's little oversight. The boys love her so much and I truly believe she makes them feel closer to their mum than I ever could... but this always seems to come at a slight cost. "She hadn't seen them for over 14 months so (more)...

Jade Goody's mum Jackiey Budden has revealed that she lost her unborn child earlier this month. The 55-year-old Celebrity Big Brother contestant, who famously entered the house with Jade in 2007, conceived the child in Tenerife in July with her boyfriend of one month John Hickinbottom. However, she later suffered from cramps and bleeding while at home in Bermondsey and called out an emergency Gp. She was taken to London's St Thomas' Hospital where it was confirmed the baby had died. "I thought God was giving me one last chance to bring up a child," Budden told The People. "I thought Jade was bringing me a little girl from up there. It was like she was helping me from Heaven. I've lost Jade and I've lost contact with my son Brett so I was over the moon that I had another chance. "Now I'm so upset. I'm grieving (more)...

Police are said to be investigating claims that Jade Goody's phone was hacked during her battle with cancer. The Big Brother star passed away in 2009, but was convinced that her voicemails were being intercepted after personal details ended up in the newspapers, the Daily Star reports. Goody's mother Jackiey Budden is apparently now planning to sue News of the World publisher News International after detectives confirmed that they suspect her late daughter was a victim of phone hacking. Claims have been made that the now-defunct newspaper accessed the specific voicemail that Goody left Budden when she first discovered she had cancer while appearing on the Indian version of Celebrity Big Brother, Bigg Boss. "This has to be the worst revelation since Milly Dowler," (more)...

When we heard that Kerry Katona and her mum Sue may be entering the Celebrity Big Brother house this week, our first thought was that we may end up with another Jade Goody situation.

The late Big Brother star re-entered the house with her mum Jackiey Budden in 2007 and became embroiled in a race row, after she was believed to be bullying Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty. The incident ruined her career and led to her becoming a national hate figure for a long time after her eviction.

It seems that the thought has crossed Brian Dowling’s mind too and speaking to Bang Showbiz he admitted that he dreads that sort of situation arising, because he isn’t sure he would handle it as well as previous series presenter Davina McCall.

He said: “My worst fear is that coming from nice, entertainment, funny television, I haven’t done anything like this before.

Channel 5 have reportedly not only signed troubled mum of four Kerry Katona for their new series of Celebrity Big Brother, but they’re bringing her unpredictable mum Sue on board too.

Insiders say that both Katonas will be on the reality TV show when it launches on Five next month and that producers are hoping they will be as big a ratings draw as Jade Goody and her crazy mum Jackiey Budden.

Kerry blames many of her mental problems on her mum and her upbringing and has previously revealed that her mum introduced her to illegal drugs when she was still just a child.

Both women lack any sort of filter and say exactly what they think and are famed for their turbulent relationship, so channel bosses are hoping sparks will fly when they are cooped up in a small house together.

An insider told The Sunday People:

London, Feb 28 – Late Jade Goody’s husband Jack Tweed has infuriated her family by signing a big-money book deal to tell all about his life with her.

Tweed, 23, is believed to have almost finished writing his autobiography, which will include details about his and Goody’s four-year relationship.

According to the Sunday Mirror, Goody’s mother Jackiey Budden has been left.

Jack Tweed has reportedly signed a deal to write a tell-all autobiography, which will shed light on his relationship with the late Jade Goody. The 27-year-old, who married Goody one month before her death from cervical cancer in March 2009, is said to have outraged the reality star's loved ones with his plans to expose details of their romance. Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Jackiey Budden, the Big Brother legend's mother, blasted her former son-in-law for attempting to make money from the tragedy. "I'm absolutely (more)...

Jack Tweed, the widow of Big Brother star Jade Goody, is set to cash in on her death, by writing an autobiography, The Sunday Mirror has reported today.

Jack, who wed the reality star near the end of her brave battle with cervical cancer, just over two years ago, is said to be focussing the book on their turbulent 4 year relationship.

Despite the book being condemned by Jades family, Jack is said to have nearly finished the publication and signed a very lucrative deal for its publishing rights.

Jade’s mother Jackiey Budden, 53, said: “I’m absolutely stunned that he’s doing this. I can’t believe it. “Jack can be so stupid sometimes. We’re still ­grieving and he’s making cash off the back of it by writing a book.”

Another person who will be far from happy with the book is Dancing On Ice star, Jeff Brazier,...

Jeff Brazier admitted that he is keen for his sons grandmother Jackiey Budden to remain in their lives.

The Dancing On Ice contestant has banned Jade Goody’s mum from seeing the boys during a turbulent period in her life last year but admitted that all that upset is behind them now.

Brazier told The Mirror: “Their nan went through a very tough year. It was because of where she was in terms of her own grief, and was all a bit crazy.

“At the time it wasn’t what the kids needed. But she levelled off a bit over time, and now their relationship is back on, full steam ahead. I always want her to be in the boys’ lives.”

Yogi Bear

Before heading into the cinema to see the new Yogi Bear film, I am granted the privilege of meeting and greeting the various celebrities in attendance at this gala premiere. I am happy to report that Eamonn Holmes enjoyed Morning Glory and feels (in jest I assume) that Unstoppable was overlooked by the Oscars, Chico would be most upset if Yogi Bear were to steal some chocolate from a hypothetical picnic basket and that Jackiey Budden, mother of Jade Goody, has her autobiography due out next month.

More importantly however, was the film. Yogi Bear, who made his first appearance in 1958 has been a perennial favourite in the Hanna-Barbera canon ever since. Starring in his first non-tv movie since 1964, Yogi is now voiced by Ghostbusters star Dan Aykroyd...

The mother of late British reality TV star Jade Goody has been cautioned after she was caught smoking cannabis outside a London bar - just weeks after she vowed to give up drugs.

Jackiey Budden, mother of the beloved Big Brother star who lost her fight with cervical cancer last year, was given an official cannabis warning from cops after they found her smoking the drug outside a pub in south London, according to U.K. newspaper The Sun.

If she is caught with the drug again, she will be instantly arrested.

The incident comes just two months after Budden promised on British TV to get clean, following the release of a video showing the 52 year old snorting cocaine.

Jeff Brazier has revealed that Jack Tweed will never be allowed to spend time with his sons again, no matter how much he pleads in the media.

Jack lived with Bobby, six and Freddie, five, when he was married to their mother Jade Goody but since she passed away and custody was passed to their dad Jeff Brazier, he has seen them only a handful of times.

After being released from prison, where he served time due to an assault charge and being cleared of recent rape charges, Tweed has claimed that he is keen to get re-involved in the boys lives but Jeff is having none of it.

The News Of The World report that he told a friend:

“I have to do what’s right for my boys. It doesn’t matter what happened in court.

“I made my decision a long time ago that Jack should Not...

Jeff Brazier has reportedly banned Jackiey Budden from having regular access to her grandsons, after her recent drug scandal.

Brazier has full custody of his and Jade Goody’s two sons, 6-year-old Bobby and 5-year-old Freddie and although Jackiey had regular contact with the boys recently, Jeff no longer feels like this relationship is in his children’s best interests.

“She’s gone too far this time and Jeff has had enough,” a source told The News Of The World. “He’s put his foot down.”

“It doesn’t matter to Jeff what Jade may or may not have said before she died,” the insider explained. “Situations change. He knows that deep down Jade would want her boys to have the best possible care. And being in the care of someone taking hardcore drugs isn’t the best possible care.

“He’ll consider letting the kids see her briefly while someone else is there,...
