Based on the Union flag, the eye features a number of iconic British landmarks, public figures and themes.

But what does it all mean for this summer's series? We can only wait for now, with Big Brother not back until next month (June).

When BBUK does return to our screens, a new look house will be ready for a the latest batch of housemates for the Channel 5 show, which will air its eighteenth series this summer

The Big Brother bungalow has been given a brand new design and makeover since the last Celebrity series in January, which was won by Coleen Nolan

Everything from the bedroom to the pool was pulled down and stripped bare as part of the major revamp

Auditions for Big Brother 2017 took place earlier this year, inviting only duos to apply in a first for the show.

Big Brother will launch on Channel 5 this summer with a launch expected in early June.

MORE INFO - FOR THE HOPELESS

 I'll be giving it another whirl ....until I get fed up with it 

I'll be watching - excluding outages - hoping for the best - rolling my eyes for sure

I'll be watching, just to keep Baz company.

Well now; that in itself would normally be enough to put me off watching. Yet more manipulation and forced drama - whoopee.

Having said that: on the face of it, the report on Telemix seems more promising. As someone on DS points out, this is probably the first time in about 6 years that anyone from C5 has used the phrase "social experiment" in the context of BB.

Summer's Big Brother UK promises to be "the ultimate social experiment"

Without any apparent commitment to Live Feed, I expect I'll be doing the same as last year: watch the opening live with all you FMs, and make a decision then as to whether I'm going to stick with it. I'm not hopeful, though...

Same here, not just about LF but also because it's been so fake and formulaic recently.

I may watch the opening and laugh and that's it......withdraw my watching hours 

And I'll have to be here to keep an eye on you all!

If it's on at daft o'clock, then I'm likely to dip in and out, not necessarily with any conviction or enthusiasm.

 Things can get heated [ or used to, when BB was interesting ].

Nowadays we're mostly in agreement... this is carp, why are we watching

I have thought about it and I have decided to have a temporary name change to 'Unenthusiastic Confusibles' in 7 weeks time.

Temperamental lil sod

I meant ... that's understandable given the current climate  ... or something

So the advert goes "we have scoured the country, up hill, down dale, every city, every town, all welcome, we have been auditioning for pairs"

But we will still go out and find individuals who have already been on TV or wannabes, because we need and know the lowest common denominator will draw in the viewers - long live chav tv. 

Will they ever learn?

Will they ever listen?

(actually that sounds like advice I could take)

I'm snuggling up to my teddy in bed. No doubt I will have a reasoned and sensible comment to make in the morning, a comment with plenty of positivity and with a spring in it's step. 

EC must have slept in

I'll try . . . erm

Let's give them a chance, yeah??

Hmm.........2 out of 10 for the intention.

Not really bursting with positivity, nor very springy.

Roll on Monday.......I can't wait to laugh and moan with the rest of you.......

A bunch of tattooed meatheads and mouthy trollops

I can't be bothered with BB this year, I think this'll be my first BB that I'm going to avoid...I just can't face more attention seeking/screaming/"me me me" wannabe fools.

 We'll miss you, Vids. Come and suffer with the rest of us.

You'll be there - like the rest of us 

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it.  I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.
