Big Brother returns to British TV screens this weekend for the first time in almost two years with a new retrospective series, Big Brother's Best Shows Ever.
The new show will present classic episodes of the iconic reality series - from both the civilian and celebrity versions - with new commentary from hosts Davina McCall and Rylan Clark-Neal alongside guest contributions from Emma Willis and Dermot O'Leary.
Read on for a full guide to what to expect from Big Brother's long overdue return!

Davina McCall (Main host, 2000-10)
"I lived and breathed Big Brother for 11 years of my life. I didn't miss one single episode. Not one week goes by when I don't quote Big Brother in some form. It made me laugh, it made me cry and most importantly it taught me to never judge a book by its cover. I love the show with all of my heart and can't wait to share it with a whole new audience. And of course, all you diehard fans out there...It's good to be back. Big Brother's missed you."

Rylan Clark-Neal (BOTS host, 2013-18; Celeb winner, 2013)
"After being off air for nearly two years I'm so excited to be bringing some much-needed Big Brother back to our lives. Over the years Big Brother has brought ground breaking television moments for many reasons, but now so more than ever whilst we're all playing the role of housemates, let's go back and rewind the clock to some of our favourite ever episodes. There will be laughs, tears and drama, but most of all we get to relive some of Big Brother's greatest episodes."

Emma Willis (Main host, 2013-18; BBLB host, 2010; BOTS host, 2011-15)
"It's no secret that I'm a mega fan of the show so it was so fun to reminisce about all of the incredible moments from BB over the years."

Dermot O'Leary (BBLB host, 2001-08)
"Just under 20 years ago I started working on a show named Big Brother. 20 years on, it's still one of the most talked about reality shows of all time, and I'm so excited to take a walk down memory lane and come together with Davina, Rylan and Emma to reminisce."
