ITV is reportedly planning to air a companion show alongside the new series of Big Brother in 2023.

ITV is reportedly planning to bring back Big Brother's companion show when the reality TV heavyweight makes a return next year.

Earlier this month ITV announced that the show would be returning for a new six-week series on ITV2 and ITVX in 2023, five years after it last aired on Channel 5.

Throughout most of its history BB was accompanied by a main spinoff show - Big Brother's Little Brother during the Channel 4 era, then Big Brother's Bit On The Side on Channel 5 - and The Sun says that it too will be returning next year.

A source told the newspaper: "ITV knows that it's not just the main show that gets fans talking, and the spinoff for Big Brother has always been a favourite for viewers.

"It's been the spring- board for some huge careers over the years, and its irreverent content and style makes for great telly.

"It's early days but with the comeback of the main show, all things look positive for Big Brother's sister to return too. What it will be called remains to be seen, but expect carnage."

The live feeds are also expected to be back for the new series, which is rumoured to begin in May.
