Day one in the Big Brother house is here and the reality show wouldn\u2019t be the same without the narration of Marcus Bentley. So the Geordie star was over the moon to be invited back for the ITV2 reboot. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so buzzing for it coming back \u2013 I would have been devastated if they didn\u2019t ask me to narrate,\u201d Marcus, 56, admits. \u201cThere\u2019s loads of things to come, things I\u2019ve never done before and things that didn\u2019t exist five years ago. It\u2019s just been a thrill.\u201d<\/p>\n

This time, Marcus will be working with new hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best \u2013 who he first met a decade ago on Big Brother\u2019s Bit On The Side. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to meeting them properly. I\u2019ve loved watching AJ\u2019s career go stratospheric, especially on Strictly Come Dancing \u2013 which she should have won!\u201d he says. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was working on something else to do with Big Brother and someone told me, \u2018You\u2019re going to be thrilled when you see Will and AJ together. They have so much chemistry, they\u2019re really special together,\u2019\u201d he adds. \u201cI\u2019m thrilled that they are part of this new era.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marcus wasn\u2019t the only one in his family thrilled by his Big Brother return \u2013 his three kids were also excited for him. \u201cMy children are in their early twenties and it\u2019s been a big part of their life. My youngest were babies when the show first started and they\u2019ve grown up with it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t watch Big Brother much, but my youngest daughter gets a lot of her Big Brother knowledge from TikTok. She says, \u2018Oh my God dad, I can\u2019t believe your voice is on this clip!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Teasing what\u2019s to come, Marcus says Big Brother\u2019s reboot will be \u201cthe biggest thing out there\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThings have moved on \u2013 there are changes in TV. I\u2019m presuming there\u2019ll be differences but what never changes is the housemates and the tasks, these strangers come from all walks of life. Who are they? We\u2019ll find out all their idiosyncrasies and what makes them tick. We\u2019ll have the ones we want to boo and the ones we love.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He adds, \u201cThat\u2019s a thing that will never change. It\u2019s a unique format that nothing else comes close to.\u201d <\/p>\n

Big Brother airs on Sunday 8th October at 9pm on ITV2<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
