It's that time of year again, summer is approaching and Big Brother is set to hit our TV screens.

After weeks of speculation about when the new series of the show will begin, bosses have today confirmed the official launch show will take place on Monday 5th June at 8.30pm.

The news comes just weeks after the official trailer for the show landed.

The new advert shows a number of unidentified housemates giving clues about their lives, leading fans to want to know who's entering the famous house next month.

Next to the trailer, the caption says, 'Get ready to meet your new housemates, who come from every corner of the land. This is United Kingdom of Big Brother... and everyone is welcome'.

Details about the new series were given at the beginning of the month when the brand new eye logo was revealed.

Sharing the new eye to their social media pages, it was captioned with the words, 'The United Kingdom of #BigBrother... and everyone is welcome. #BBUK returns to @channel5_tv next month!'

Channel 5 have described this year's series as a 'must-watch culture clash of modern Britain'.

The statement reads, "At a time of political upheaval and tough questions about unity in the UK, Big Brother brings you an alternative look at Britain.

"Standby for a very British summer of contrasts, conflicts and collaboration...and more fireworks than you could imagine, as a selection of people, from a range of backgrounds, come together in the ultimate social experiment."

It's not yet been confirmed who is entering the house, but if previous series are anything to go by, fans are in for a treat.

Emma Wills is back to present the show, with Rylan Clark-Neal carrying on his role on Big Brother's Bit On The Side.

Big Brother starts on Channel 5 at 8.30pm on Monday 5th June.
