AJ Odudu and Will Best can't wait to get stuck into presenting the new series of Big Brother admitting they're superfans as well as hosts.
The rebooted reality show, which was revived by ITV last year, will see a new crop of fame-hungry housemates face elaborate tasks and live evictions amid an endless series of twists and turns inside the freshly refurbished BB house.
And while AJ, 36, and Will, 39, are hosting the show, it's the public who will decide who stays and who goes come eviction night.
"I'm excited to be doing this show again," presenter AJ, from Blackburn, tells us.
Londoner Will, who got engaged to his long-term girlfriend Tobi Rose over the summer, adds, "We were obsessed with it last series totally independently of the fact that it was literally our job." Here, the pair open up on "living the dream" presenting the series, what makes a great housemate, and their preshow rituals...
Hi, guys! How are you feeling about coming back for this series? Is the pressure off a bit?
Will: It definitely feels like less pressure in a way, because it was an unknown territory and a new team before. We were getting to know everyone, and we were and are massive fans of Big Brother, so we were as nervous as anyone else. But the series went well and it was pretty well received by people. That's the test. AJ and I were totally obsessed with the show.
