40 Housemates, 500 Extras Film New Big Brother Ad UPDATED

500 extras and 40 ex Big Brother housemates have reunited today in a secret location to film an advert for Big Brother on Channel 5.
The ad will reportedly show the resurrection of Big Brother following the funeral which featured in an ad on Channel 4 last year. BB1's Craig Phillips, BB8 twins Sam and Amanda, BB7's Pete Bennet, and BB11 winner Josie Gibson were thought to be among the crowd of ex housemates filming the ad. A full brass band was also present at the secret location.
