Channel 4 has confirmed that the tenth series of Big Brother will begin on Thursday June 4th, with a 90-minute launch show.
Airing between 9.00pm and 10.35pm, the show will feature Davina McCall introducing us to this year’s housemates for the first time. It is ten minutes shorter than last year’s launch. The official synopsis is as follows:
Davina McCall presents direct from the Big Brother studios as a new group of housemates enter the Big Brother house for the very first time. Viewers see the new housemates as they share their very first moments together and settle in for what could be the most unpredictable few weeks of their lives.
