Big Brother to make Channel 4 comeback to mark 20th anniversary during lockdown

Iconic reality show Big Brother will return to Channel 4 after 10 years to entertain the nation in lockdown.

Fans will be able to watch classic episodes from the 10 years it appeared on the network in a bid to boost spirits during the lockdown.

As the legendary show celebrates its 20th anniversary, Channel 4 has commissioned a highlights programme to air its best moments, reports MirrorOnline.

Davina McCall will also return to host the show after presenting the hit programme from 2000 until 2010, when it moved to Channel 5.

Rylan Clark-Neal, who hosted spin-off show Big Brother's Bit On The Side on Channel 5, will also be making an appearance.

Davina confirmed the news to The Sun, saying: "I lived and breathed Big Brother for 11 years. Not one week goes by when I don’t quote Big Brother in some form.

"It made me laugh, it made me cry and it taught me to never judge a book by its cover."

Davina stated she loves the show and is excited to share it with a new audience.

Meanwhile Rylan expressed his own excitement over the news after the show was cancelled in 2018.

He said: "There will be laughs, tears and drama, but most of all we get to relive some of Big Brother’s greatest episodes."
