Big Brother UK series 7 in 2006 will be the seventh season of Big Brother in the UK, a reality show shown on Channel 4 in which a number of contestants live in an isolated house trying to avoid being evicted by the public with the aim of winning a large cash prize at the end of the run.

Permission has recently been granted to extend the lease of the house until 2007, meaning it will once again be made at Elstree Studios.

This will be the first full series where there will be no red-button video feed since it was introduced in Big Brother 2. Instead, there will be limited live coverage on E4 with 24/7 live footage available on the Internet via the official Big Brother website.

Transmission date

It has been confirmed by Channel4 that this series will last 13 weeks, the longest yet in the UK series. The series will start on Friday 26 May 2006. There are rumours that it will be alongside the first episode of series 2 of Lost.
