The seventh series of Big Brother kicks off tonight

The Channel 4 reality show is back for a 13-week run with a new cast of wannabes.

More than 25,000 people auditioned for the chance to be on the show.

The identities of this year's housemates will be revealed in tonight's live launch show hosted by Davina McCall.

They are reported to include a former Miss Wales, a City stockbroker and a topless model.

Show bosses promise Big Brother 7 will be "more twisted than ever".

The house is the smallest yet deliberately designed to make life uncomfortable for the housemates.

The designers have brought the outside in - the rooms are covered in grass and concrete while the garden comes complete with a three-piece suite.

In the bedroom, three double beds have been installed to encourage the housemates to get frisky.

This year a member of the public will be able to win a place on the show.

Big Brother has hidden 100 golden tickets inside special KitKat chocolate bars which go on sale tomorrow.

One of the ticket-holders will be chosen at random to enter the house.

Channel 4 hope the series - the longest Big Brother ever - will be a summer ratings winner.

It faces a showdown with ITV1's Celebrity Love Island, which returns for a second series in June.
