AJ Odudu and Will Best's main hope for the new Big Brother series is to see a "diverse group of housemates".
The ITV reality TV show is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, and the presenting pair are hoping to see "all facets of British society represented" in the famous abode.
When asked what he hopes to see in this year’s cast, Will said: "Diversity in terms of age, in terms of background, in terms of political opinion."
AJ added: "In terms of gender and related identities. In terms of everything!"
Will said: "We want to see all facets of British society represented."
AJ also wants to see "authenticity" in the iconic house.
She explained: "I want people to go in there and be their authentic selves from day one. We never know what to expect and that’s the exciting thing about it.
"I actually am going into it with no expectations other than I want to see a diverse group of Housemates."
The new Big Brother series starts on Sunday (28.09.25), and it will run for seven weeks.
Will gets so invested in the housemates he even has dreams about them.
He said: "We become so invested in these people - I always start dreaming about them."
The TV presenter also admitted it is an "absolute dream" to spend time with AJ.
Asked what he is most looking forward to about being back for a new series, he said: "Getting to hang out with AJ. We’re both busy and it can be difficult to see your mates as much as you’d like to. Having an environment where we can hang out and do something we love together for seven weeks is an absolute dream."
AJ added: "I am looking forward to obviously meeting all the new housemates and looking forward to an extra week together! It’s so exciting, it’s like the lead up to Christmas."
Big Brother returns Sunday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
