The countdown to the launch of Big Brother The Chase has begun! With just two days to go, many surprises await eagerly anticipating audiences across the continent, including the all-important Big Brother house. A character in its own right, the house is always subject to interest and now AfricaMagic has unveiled a sneak peek in the Big Brother house.

Modern, trendy and contemporary are just some of the words that define the style of the house. This year’s look is definitely distinctive, featuring a solid use of bright colour with a sophisticated polish. The décor is fresh and airy with a cosmopolitan and yet youthful demeanor, dominated by straight lines and square finishes.

Audiences and housemates can also expect intriguing fixtures that will certainly create talkability. There are also unique accessories throughout the house creating a cosy and homey ambiance. The house is also technically well-equipped and Biggie can watch 24/7, thanks to 56 cameras and 137 microphones.

More of the house will be revealed on Sunday, May 26 at 19:00 when audiences from over 50 African countries are introduced to the 28 housemates for the first time. Tune into the Big Brother live launch show on AfricaMagic, AfricaMagic Entertainment and AfricaMagic World, as well as on DStv channel 197 and 198.
