Speaking to presenters Dermot O'Leary and Sian Welby, he shared some behind-the-scenes details, including why an iconic feature from the past is notably absent this time around.

The TV personality explained that the lift - once a staple of the house - has been removed for good.

He said: "No lift this year. Last series, it got stuck, and one of the housemates couldn’t get out, so we got rid of that. Now, the celebs will come in through this corridor."

In the lead up to CBB's return, The Sun was also granted access inside the iconic gaff.

An incredible line-up will move in later today - and our snaps showed off where the likes of Towie’s Ella Rae Wise and Hollywood star Mickey Rourke will be living. 

The bedroom only has double beds this year, meaning the famous faces had better get comfortable with each other quickly. 

And it’s not just sharing a bed that might make them feel slightly on top of each other, as host AJ Odudu recently revealed the house is smaller this time around. 

The overall look of the house is certainly fit for the likes of TV royalty Patsy Palmer, with each room decorated in bright shades of red, orange or blue. 

There are two huge curved red sofas where the celebs will find out which one of them has been dumped from the house during each eviction. 

The kitchen has a huge island - perfect for them to sit and gossip about their fellow housemates.

Of course no Big Brother house is complete without the Diary Room chair. 

The CBB 2025 chair is brightly coloured and also matches the Big Brother eye.

It looks like a kaleidoscope of colours, with blue, pink, orange and yellow and melted dripping plastic to create a puddle on the floor.

Also calling the house home this year will be the likes of chat show legend Trisha Goddard, Love Island star Chris Hughes and presenter Angellica Bell. 

Flying the flag for the younger crowd will be Nickelodeon star Jojo Siwa, as well drag queen Dannny Beard. 

The Sun previously revealed how a fan-favourite feature of the Celebrity Big Brother accommodation had been ditched for the new series.

The Mezzanine floor - which was introduced by ITV when it rebooted Big Brother in 2023 - has been scrapped.

Speaking ahead of the new series, AJ said: “There's always twists and turns with Big Brother. 

The house is in a brand new location and it's got a brand new layout. I know the house has been made slightly smaller which might heighten drama.”

She also joked that - despite her and Will's best efforts - the bosses are never keen to take her suggestions for housemates on board. 

AJ added: “Every single series I've got a wish list. I'm literally texting the execs, texting the team and I'm like here's my dream list but your girl gets ignored. 

“I get blanked. And I'm like 'excuse me, get them in.'"
