Ahead of its eagerly awaited comeback, we were given a sneak peek into the legendary Big Brother house, which is being spruced up for the arrival of the housemates.
Following a five-year hiatus, the show delighted viewers by making a comeback last year. ITV took over the reality series, which had previously been broadcast on Channel 4 before switching to Channel 5 in 2011, with Will Best and AJ Odudu stepping into the presenting roles.
Before the contestants step into the house, here's a glimpse at the far-from-modest dwelling and our forecast of the areas that will be the epicentres of drama this season.
The house boasts a vibrant walkway adorned with pink walls and neon lights outlining the arches, complemented by a multi-coloured carpet.
In the bedroom, the theme continues with various shades of pink and purple - not to mention, a fully equipped beauty station in the middle of the room.

One of the most frequented areas, the living room, features its own blend of pink and blue furnishings, complete with plush mustard yellow sofas.
As for the ideal spots for gossip and drama, the house has plenty. We predict the bedroom will be the main hub for scandalous whispers, particularly as it houses a central double bed separate from the others.
The mezzanine level room, one of the most private spaces in the house, is likely to host many serious conversations. This year, it's decorated with artificial plants and throw cushions, along with a lengthy white sofa.
The bathroom, tipped to be a sanctuary for clandestine conversations among the cast, boasts plenty of space. It's not just fitted with a bathtub and shower but also features plush pink armchairs and cosy sitting areas.
Another hotspot set to ignite gossip is the garden's hot tub, complemented by a striking new paint-dripping feature wall.
Excitement surged among fans as the official BBUK X account unveiled snapshots of the revamped house on Friday (October 4), showcasing the fresh and eye-catching design.
One fan enthused: "I gotta say I am loving the new Big Brother house, the set design is really giving and it is honestly so aesthetically pleasing to look at."
Echoing the sentiment, another added: "This is one of my favourite designs for a Big Brother house woah."
A third admirer succinctly expressed their awe: "Wow this is so gorgeous."
With the beds currently unoccupied, anticipation builds as 16 new contestants are set to cross the threshold this Sunday, embarking on a six-week journey under Big Brother's ever-present gaze.
