Applications are now open for Big Brother 2017!

Nope, we're not talking about Celebrity Big Brother. Normal Big Brother is the series for people who haven't been on Ex On The Beach (yet).

If you do wanna know who's heading into the CBB house, we've rounded up all the rumours for Celebrity Big Brother 2017here.

But back to normal Big Brother. If you were thinking of applying, you might want to wait a second and read about the MAJOR twist Channel 5 have introduced for the next series.

Channel 5 are looking for "outgoing pairs…who fancy themselves as the next TV duo".

Umm, pairs? Whatever happened to going in solo?

Channel 5 still want strong opinions and stand out personalities, but you now have to apply with "anyone you consider to be family".

OMG. Imagine having to go into Big Brother with your mum and NOT BEING ABLE TO LEAVE.

Or you could go in with your favourite cousin and cause havoc in the house.

Does this mean you nominate in pairs? Do you get evicted together? If one of you breaks the rules, do you both get punished? We have SO many questions.

It wouldn't be the first time a couple has gone into the house. Remember the twins, Sam and Amanda in 2007?

And Jedward, from Celebrity Big Brother in 2011?

We've blocked that out of our memory.

heat are still debating whether Mario and Lisa from Big Brother 9 were one housemate or two.
