Big Brother fans have been treated with a glimpse into the new house days ahead of the reboot\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n
Good Morning Britain\u2019s Richard Arnold was granted the first tour of the new-look home, based in west London, which will welcome in the first batch of housemates on Monday.<\/p>\n
The entertainment reporter gave reality TV lovers a first-look at the iconic garden, which has been the location of hilarious antics throughout the years, including Alison Hammond memorably breaking a table.<\/p>\n
The first feature in the garden was a small smoking area which, in an unusual move for Big Brother, does not have cameras, although there is a microphone to pick up housemates\u2019 gossiping.<\/p>\n
In a bid to boost sustainability, producers have installed a tank to collect rainwater which will be used to fill up a large, circular jacuzzi, which is positioned next to a love seat.<\/p>\n
Housemates will also be able to recline on lavish orange sofas in a plush outdoor seating area equipped with a fireplace, which Richard described as \u2018a bit Love Island.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While sadly Richard wasn\u2019t allowed to show the interior of the house on camera, he gave ITV viewers a rundown \u2013 including his verdict on the iconic diary room chair.<\/p>\n
\u2018The diary room is a sight to behold, it\u2019s the biggest chair that I\u2019ve ever seen,\u2019 he teased.<\/p>\n
Continuing his description of the house, Richard made the living room sound palatial, saying it was \u2018absolutely vast.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
He explained: \u2018The living area is absolutely vast. There are two huge sofas, it\u2019s the biggest communal area that I\u2019ve ever seen in a Big Brother house over the years.\u2019<\/p>\n
It sounds like the bathroom is equally as opulent with a bath \u2018on a plinth\u2019 taking center stage.<\/p>\n
Richard added: \u2018There\u2019s a bath on a plinth. Initially, they were going to have a clear bath but it would have to come from China and the key message here in the house this year is sustainability.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The broadcaster said he was sworn to secrecy about the details of the bedroom but teased there were some double beds.<\/p>\n
Rounding off his tour, Richard was given the boot by none other than the voice of Marcus Bentley, who has returned to narrate the ITV reboot and was heard saying: \u2018Richard you have been evicted from the Big Brother house.\u2019<\/p>\n
Richard said what everyone was thinking when he remarked: \u2018Hearing that voice and the music as well it takes you way back, [the show] which changed the broadcasting world forever\u2026 I\u2019m sure it\u2019ll live up to expectations.\u2019<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Big Brother is finally returning to our screens on Monday after a five-year hiatus with brand\u00a0new hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best.<\/p>\n
The show was originally launched on Channel 4 in 2000, before moving to Channel 5 in 2011 and then finishing in 2018.<\/p>\n
ITV2 has already committed to two series of the trail-blazing reality show and hinted Celebrity Big Brother will be returning too.<\/p>\n
