Big Brother is reportedly set to return to our screens this summer and insiders say Five is on the brink of announcing their new five year deal with Endemol.

We may all have cried into our coffee when the hit reality TV show ended last September but Big brother fans need worry no more, because it looks like as of August 2011, the format will be back.

The Daily Star reports that Five are planning to kick off with a three week celebrity version and hope to persuade Mohamed Al-Fayed, Peaches Geldof, The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs, 21, and Prince Harry’s former girlfriend Chelsy Davy to take part.

A Channel 5 insider revealed:

“We are giving television fans exactly what they wanted – Big Brother back on our screens this summer.

“The deal will be signed over the next couple of days but everything has been agreed.

“It’s a really exciting time for Channel 5 and everyone is determined to make this new era of Big Brother the best yet.”

The source added: “We’ve got our wish list of celebrities that we want and we’re going to do everything we can to persuade them to enter the house.

“We want people like Charlie Sheen and Peaches Geldof, who we’re confident would be TV gold inside the house.

“And watching someone like the billionaire businessman Mohamed Al-Fayed living alongside those two is bound to provide some classic TV moments.

“Once the deal is signed we’ll make our approaches.”
