Template:Future Big Brother 2007 is the upcoming eighth series of the United Kingdom reality television series Big Brother. The series will air on Channel 4, beginning in May 2007.[1]

The first round of auditions started on 6 January 2007[2] at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow where there was a queue of only three hundred people,[3] and finished on 11 February 2007.[4] Auditions were also held at Cardiff, Newcastle upon Tyne, Birmingham, Dublin, Manchester, and London.[5] The eighth series of Big Brother will also involve the first online application for housemates where 100 applicants will be chosen for audition in person.[4]

On 8 March 2007, it was announced that the Carphone Warehouse would not return to sponsor Big Brother 2007 after cancelling its sponsorship of the controversial Celebrity Big Brother 2007,[6] and on 21 March, that Virgin Media, would sponsor the show, for a reported GB£3 million (US$5.89 million).[7]

Broadcasts

On 4 April 2007, it was announced that Russell Brand had quit the spin off show Big Brother's Big Mouth.[8] It is yet unclear as to whether the show will be returning with a new presenter.

Dermot O'Leary will be returning again to present Big Brother's Little Brother, Davina McCall will also be back to present the live eviction shows.[1]

The House

After previous speculation that Big Brother 2007 would be broadcast from a new location in Hammersmith, it was confirmed that the series would still be broadcast in Elstree. However, it will be the last series to be so, with a new house being built in Hammersmith for 2008.[9]

Due to a new legislation, a smoking ban will be in effect in all public placing during the series. Health officials have declared the House as a workplace, meaning housemates will not be allowed to smoke inside the house. They will still be able to smoke outside however.[9]
