Big Brother initially launched on Channel 4 in 2000, before switching over to Channel 5 in 2011. Many of its stars have gone on to become household names and the show launched the careers of Jade Goody and Brian Dowling. The celebrity spin-off version has also proved popular, with this year's series being won by controversial comedian Jim Davidson. The Chronicle has contacted Channel 5 for more information about this weekend's auditions. More follows.
