Big Brother host 'unveiled' as fans spot major clue on Saturday Night Takeaway

Saturday Night Takeaway fans have been left convinced the latest instalment of the ITV show sneakily unveiled who the new host of ITV2's Big Brother reboot will be.

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly returned for another instalment of Saturday Night Takeaway on ITV, with a live audience in the studio.

The show sees the beloved pair present hilarious sketches, play pranks on celebrity guests and invite the audience members to participate in games.

The latest episode on Saturday night also featured the world premiere of whodunnit skit Murder at Bigwig Manor, starring a whole host of ITV faces including Joel Dommett, Davina McCall, Keith Lemon and Judi Love.

The new skit saw the group of celebs caught up in a murder mystery, as Dermot and Judi were found murdered in the first episode.

However, viewers quickly noticed Strictly star AJ Odudu, who has been hotly tipped to land the Big Brother gig, among the stars and crucially standing next to former Big Brother host Davina.

Taking to Twitter, one wrote: "I'm taking AJ Odudu standing next to Davina McCall in Saturday Night Takeaway's skit with "ITV's biggest stars" as another clue that she's hosting Big Brother."

A third added: “OH MY GOD AJ ON NEXT WEEK'S SATURDAY NIGHT TAKEAWAY

“I might literally scream I think they’re gonna announce AJ as the new BB host on SNT in the next few weeks.”

The world-famous reality TV show, which first launched in the Netherlands in 1999, is coming back to UK TV and will maintain its familiar format.

However, Rylan has teased his involvement in ITV Big Brother, changing his Twitter location to inside the “Big Brother House” and following ITV’s announcement he tweeted: “He was always watching… It’s coming home #bbuk.”
