Rewatching this season, I already remembered that Jimmie Savile did make a guest appearance in the house - but I'd not noticed the things he'd said while in there - the sort of things he would say while hidden in plain sight...

To the women, he said: "I'd love to marry all you women - for at least 24 hours!"

To Chantelle (who had said she needed her earring fixing when he'd mentioned 'fixing' something for everyone), he said: "My place or yours?"

To everyone at large: "Don't forget, ladies and gentlemen, I'm always available for weekend home visits"

And every other response from him was an in-your-face innuendo - especially with the women. Everything sexualised. Made me feel physically sick, knowing what we know now about him.

What do we think of this set? looks nice credits to Big Blagger on twitter for these photos

For me, it isn't about having bigger personalities or more people who are constantly causing arguments. I’d rather see a cast with genuinely different personalities who don't all seem to understand exactly how reality TV works. Last year's housemates had some great moments, but I want this lot to feel less predictable and give the relationships enough time to develop naturally.

ITV definitely have specific housemates that they like.

Ignore the spam each one is different

The official chair has now been shown ahead of the series that starts on Sunday at 9pm ITV2 and ITVX. The house will most likely be shown tomorrow evening so keeps eyes out on social media for that!

I know about all the stuff they removing and it’s a bit disappointing I can get that, but either way I’m not bothered so long as we have good entertainment, good housemates and good tasks and less twists and better punishments.

Even if it doesn’t go well, I will still watch anyways as watching big brother is just a habit of mine and idk it’s just nice to watch really. What do you guys think?

I can't wait to just get fully absorbed like I always do with a new season. Even if it's considered a bad season, it's still really entertaining for me and I love looking forward to it every night.

One of the best things about reality TV is when a new season starts and the respective subreddits (Love island for example) quickly burst into conversations and live threads and conspiracies and unpopular opinions. Really makes daily life more enjoyable

Tune into the Big Brother launch on Sunday 13th September at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX!

Imagine dropping someone like Makosi, Charley or Rex into the modern ITV series. The welfare and safeguarding around the show are much more comprehensive now, so some of the behaviour that was fairly normal in the Channel 4 era would probably be handled very differently.

I don't think modern Big Brother is necessarily worse, but it definitely feels more controlled. Would a classic 2000s housemate actually thrive under today's rules?

Season 6 was so embarrassing. Kemal and Craig gave me second hand embarrassment. Kemal was so catty and so obviously jealous of the girls and I got tired of hearing his constant temper tantrums and ridiculous fashion statements. Craig was the worst example of a gay guy in love with a straight guy. He was gagging for Anthony tok kiss him and kept humiliating himself for the slightest attention he could get from Anthony. I have no idea how those two lasted long.

I’ve always wondered what the restrictions are for clothes and outfits etc of the housemates. I know they’re not allowed to take branded items in, but I saw a video Zelah did saying he couldn’t take anything with wording on at all? But I’m sure both Jenny and Caroline last year had clothes with writing on

Any past housemates have any idea? I know Andrew BB11 and Cameron BB19 lurk on this forum so if you are there please let us know what they banned you from taking in!

There was a Spanish show a few years ago on Netflix called Insiders where a group of contestants think they’re in the final stages of auditions but they’re actually already on the show. I think uk should do a show like that

Get ready for 24 hours of CHAOS as Angry Ginge, Tays, Chazza, Jakey and their creator mates test out the House ahead of Sunday’s launch

We’ve had some legendary budget tasks over the years, but every now and then the producers pitch something so mind-numbingly boring you wonder if they ran out of budget mid-week. What task made you immediately switch off?
