Milan, 9 July (LaPresse) – "After several seasons, we have decided that Big Brother will be hosted in the autumn by Simona Ventura, who returns to Mediaset to host a reality show. It will not be a celebrity edition, but will tell real stories with people who have something to say. I would like to thank Alfonso Signorini, who has done a great job and will host a super VIP edition of Big Brother in the spring. Then, in the spring, there will likely be another edition of L'Isola dei Famosi (Celebrity Island)." These were the words of Mediaset CEO Pier Silvio Berlusconi during the traditional press conference to present the upcoming season's programming schedule. ‘We would also like the number of contestants on the new Big Brother to be as small as possible, rather than a hotel where people come and go. We will sit down with Endemol to make sure it is the way we want it,’ he added.
