The awkward moment when Mark Cagney, presenter of @IrelandAMTV3 , thought @BenTaylorTM was @Rylan partner! http://bit.ly/1E8P2tD #BBUK

It's going to make a major difference for me - I can't tell a lie. I had one bedroom TV tuned into Ch5 and used to disappear anti-socially to watch it; now I can record and watch back without ads and in the comfort of not putting everyone in the house out with my odd BB obsessive behaviour.

Rylan revealed on The Nicky Byrne Show on 2FM that there would be Irish housemates this year!

There's almost always at least one - especially if you include the North.

1 Anna & Tom; 2 - Brian; 4 - Ray; 6 - Mary; 7 - Spiral; 8 - Seany; 10 - Noirín; 11 - Caoimhe; 14 - Hazel; 15 - Ashleigh. So 11 Irish/NI housemates out of 15 series.

Whoops, forgot Orlaith in 6. 12, then.

Does that still apply nowadays with only a 43 minute programme each night?

Looks like TV3/3e won't be showing any live feed. Its scheduled from 11.30 to 12am on Friday on Channel 5 and it isnt scheduled on TV3 or 3e; same goes for launch night, where the 12am to 1am slot on Channel 5 isn't replicated on Irish TV.

Also, here's the newest advert which is airing on TV3.

Most of the time they say there will be a LF at specific times (after launch night, eviction nights), a couple of weeks in they seem to have forgotten what they actually promised & it doesn't happen & is never mentioned again.

Very pleased with this news! After we got rid of Sky (and Channel 5 ), I was watching BB online via live streaming or uploaded episodes the following day. Now I can watch with ease.

Anyone see the Seven O'Clock Show's entertainment reporter claiming we don't know the housemates when they all over the C5 website. For their new hit show you'd think they'd have done some basic research when promoting it.

Wonder if the Channel 5 website will mention TV3 or not?

TV3, Big Brother’s new home in the Republic of Ireland, has not yet determined whether its viewers will be able to vote in the show’s weekly evictions, bbspy has learned.

A source at the broadcaster confirmed to us that it is “looking into” setting up a method of voting, but could not provide further details.

This afternoon, TV3 officially announced that it has signed a one-year deal to air Big Brother UK in Eire, covering the new ‘Timebomb’ civilian series and the next two Celebrity editions.

It marks the first time that the show will air in the country since it moved to Channel 5 from its previous network Channel 4 in 2011.

Until 2008, C4 offered Irish Big Brother fans the chance to vote by calling Ireland-specific premium rate phone lines. However, these were permanently axed after technical errors occurred midway through the ninth series.

Currently, TV3 offers similar phone votes for Irish viewers of ITV talent shows The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent, which are run independently from ITV.

If these cannot be set up for Big Brother, an alternative option could be to make the show’s official mobile app available in Ireland. Since last year, it has allowed users to purchase eviction votes in bundles of two or ten through the iTunes Store or Google Play.
