BIG Brother is making reality TV history with a UK show first and has enlisted the help of an I’m A Celeb winner to do it.
For the first time in the show’s history, the programme’s ‘dry run’ will be live streamed for everyone to see.
The dry run is the ‘rehearsal’ run of the show which usually takes place just a week before the show’s main launch.
This is mainly used to ensure all the camera, sound and lighting equipment is working, ensuring the house is fully functional and also to trial any impending tasks.
Whilst the dry run has always taken place behind closed doors, this year, the show will be livestreaming the entire run prior to Sunday’s launch.
One of the ‘guinea pig’ housemates will be none other than Angry Ginge.

The action will be streamed across the four lads’ own Twitch channels as well as the ITV Reality and Big Brother UK YouTube channels.
The takeover will last a full 24 hours and see the lads put Big Brother through his own paces.
