Different channel, same house Just as it has since 2002, the new series of Big Brother will be filmed at London's Elstree Studios. Take a look at the studios on Bing. Home comforts As ever, the house will be given a full makeover before we get to see it. Rumours suggest the new, Channel 5 house will include a public telephone for contestants to contact the outside world and will host "regular champagne parties" to ensure the housemates are kept entertained.

It's been announced the show will return in August for a four-week "all-star celebrity" run followed by a new, full 13-week series in September, taking it all the way through until Christmas.

Rather than the evil BB and twisted BB approach Channel 4 took over the last few series of the show, reports say Channel 5 plan to give the house a theme of "playfulness and decadence" when it returns.

"I think I've said goodbye," she explained recently. "Someone new should present it on a new channel. A fresh start for the show, with me still as its biggest fan looking forward." Find out more on Bing. Names in the hat With Davina seemingly out of the way, press have been quick to report on possible replacements. Leading the charge so far are Emma Willis, Myleene Klass and, perhaps most surprisingly, Cheryl Cole. Find out more on Bing.
