Big Brother hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best are facing a setback just days ahead of the live premiere of the new series. It was announced that both presenters have fallen ill, raising concerns among fans and production teams alike. Since its return to ITV last year, Big Brother has gained a significant following, especially with the addition of AJ and Will as hosts. Following a successful celebrity edition earlier this year, the anticipation for the regular series, set to launch on Sunday, October 6, is at an all-time high.
In a recent radio interview, Will Best provided insight into his condition, revealing he has been struggling with a stiff neck, which was particularly severe the previous day. He mentioned an upcoming emergency physiotherapy session, expressing his frustration about being unwell right before one of the biggest events he has ever hosted. Meanwhile, AJ Odudu has also been dealing with health issues, notably losing her voice, which prevented her from participating in the same interview.
Despite his long-standing career in broadcasting, Will admitted to still feeling nervous ahead of the new series. He conveyed his admiration for the show, stating he feels pressure to honor its legacy and is anxious to see how the new housemates will perform. As the launch date approaches, he remains excited, expressing hope that once the show begins, his nerves will settle and he can fully embrace the experience.
With both hosts facing health challenges, fans are left wondering how this might affect the highly anticipated return of Big Brother.
