The new Big Brother house is (almost!) ready for action and 26 housemates have their cases packed to move in.

Big Brother Hotshots has eventually arrived.

It premieres with a live show this Sunday (5 October) at 19h00 (CAT). It'll be on AfricaMagic Showcase (Channel 150), AfricaMagic Family (154), AfricaMagic World (155) and channels 197 and 198.

The show's been releasing the identities of the housemates over the past two weeks so we thought we'd put them all together in one big premiere snack pack so you can get to know everyone at a glance.
