Marcus Bentley will reportedly be back to provide voiceover for the new series of Big Brother.

Marcus Bentley will reportedly return to provide voiceover for the new series of Big Brother later this year.

After a five-year absence, the iconic reality show is returning on ITV2 and ITVX for a new six-week run, with AJ Odudu and Will Best taking on the role of joint hosts.

Known for his distinctive Geordie accent, Bentley has provided voiceover since the first ever episode in 2000 - the show's only ever-present - and The Sun says that he is back on board for the revival.

"It was a no-brainer to have Marcus back for the new era," a source told the newspaper. "He is simply the voice associated with Big Brother UK."

The new series is tipped to begin in October, most likely timed so that it will come to an end before I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! begins in mid-November.
