Where is the Big Brother 2017 house, is it the same one that’s used for CBB and where are the Elstree Studios?
BIG Brother's house has seen it all over the years and each year it undergoes a massive makeover.
Here's everything you need to know about what this year's house has to offer...
What does the Big Brother 2017 house look like?
This year the theme has been inspired by the General Election and Brexit.
The official title is The United Kingdom of Big Brother, and the house has been given a kitsch makeover, with rooms inspired by various aspects of British culture.
As usual the house design comes with several quirks designed to unsettle the housemates.
There's an open shower which looks straight out on to the garden, while the living area has been designed to look like it's outdoors.
Extra houses and hidden quarters have been used by housemates for spying during numerous series too.
A devilish twist saw housemates forced to live and sleep in separate spheres in the house, in keeping with the series’ class-oriented theme, The United Kingdom of Big Brother.
Those sleeping in the grotty bedroom had to deal with graffiti on the walls and furnishings, rickety wooden bed frames, a dirty carpet, old hand-me-down bedding and minimal storage.
There’s also a small fireplace with logs and a washing line to give a rough-and-ready feel to the room.
Meanwhile the luxury bedroom is the definition of cosy, with beautiful turquoise walls, animal imagery, pristine bedding and a homey atmosphere.
Where is the Big Brother house?
The current setting in Borehamwood is just a 22 minute train journey from London Kings Cross Station.
Moving the Big Brother house to Elstree Studios in the Herfordshire location has allowed housemates an extra level of protection.
After 2016's series, the site of the house underwent its biggest renovation and extension since 2002, and plans revealed that another separate house had been built — with its own garden.
The old house is still being used this series for tasks, which means there are now three separate task rooms.
But the eye-shaped studio entrance and outdoor set where the live audience gathers has been replaced.
When is Big Brother on Channel 5?
On weeknights, the reality show generally airs at 10:00pm, lasting for an hour, with spin-off show Big Brother's Bit on the Side following straight after.
However, on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays the fun kicks off at 9.00pm, with the live eviction shows airing on Friday nights.
