Monday’s live launch saw fans slam the show for ripping off Love Island as they accused ITV of ‘attacking a pile of rejects’ from the dating show to make up the line-up.
Hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best welcome new contestants, all hoping to win this year’s whopping £100K prize.
But viewers at home noticed that many of this year’s contestants had a lot in common with each other, with the majority in their 20s and only one contestant over 40.
As the new stars introduced themselves to each other and the nation, fans pointed out that they were all ‘young and attractive with veneers’ and said they felt like ‘pound shop Love Island contestants’.
He slammed ITV for ‘misunderstanding the purpose of the show’, arguing that what makes Big Brother interesting is that it has ‘people of all ages and backgrounds’.
Taking to social media to express his disappointment that the show ‘failed so badly with this line-up’, he demanded the casting team ‘be given the sack ASAP’.
She wrote: ‘The house is really like a house full of Love Island contestants this year, hopefully some old people in their 60s.

‘Is this Big Brother or love island? Give me old. Give me the queen of housing. This is boring; Feels like ITV mixed up the application form with the island of love.
‘Actually. Why don’t they get enough applicants so they take some from Love Island; Too many pound shops love island contestants. Where’s the grouchy middle aged woman from stockport?’
‘I just don’t understand? What makes Big Brother better & more interesting than other shows is the variety of people it chooses from, including ages. Why do we have so many people in their 20s, especially men? It’s not Love Island. Listen up ITV viewers’.
‘Has the brother become a love island….. why are they all young and attractive!? I must be 65 years old Kevin who just sits about and farts all day; So it seems the @bbuk casting team can’t be bothered this year and hit the @ITV Love Island rejection pile… So disappointed’.
‘This is not Love Island. Get some parents at home and go back to the days of proper social experimentation; Very disappointed that everyone is in their 20s or 30s? It’s not Love Island? Big Brother is a concept that people of all ages and backgrounds need.

‘”The original social experiment” lol is not original about it most people have got veneers & in their 20s .. like the line up for the island of love we wanted real people, who ever did the casting this year need a sack ASAP’.
‘ITV have failed miserably with this line-up. They have misread the audience and misunderstood the purpose of the show. They’re trying to turn it into another Love Island, and we don’t have it. I’m not excited anymore for the series. abysmal stuff.’
‘Shame #BBUK hasn’t got the casting right. Go from picture perfect love island type. We need haggard, disturbed, old, frustrated and annoyed people I’m afraid.
Even Big Brother veteran Jedward, who starred in the Celebrity version of the show twice in 2011 and 2017, joined in the criticism.
The Irish duo took to Twitter to echo: ‘Brother should be more diverse in age. It’s more Love Island than bro #BBUK’.
