How to watch 'Big Brother' U.K. 2024 online from anywhere

If last year was a pleasant surprise – from brilliant hosts in AJ Odudu and Will Best to a great winner in sarcastic Northern lawyer Jordan Sangha – "Big Brother" U.K. 2024 promises to be an even better watch with the launch show going live and more tasks being introduced for the housemates.  

Here's how to watch "Big Brother" U.K. 2024 online from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for FREE!

While it will always prove impossible to recapture the buzz and excitement around the original Channel 4 version of the reality TV staple that followed in the footsteps of "The Real World", a new generation is entitled to find "Big Brother" for themselves and the British version has done them proud.

Last year's U.K. reboot led to 70 million streams on British streamer ITVX and it was a huge hit across social media but this year promises to be even bigger and better - although much of that will depend on the housemates that pitch up and how much we love/hate them.

Read on to find out where to watch "Big Brother" U.K. 2024 online from anywhere and potentially for FREE.
