The celebrityBig Brotherseries has stirred up drama and many headlines, owing to the uh, interesting, group of 'celebrities' involved.

This season Big Brother is welcoming celebs to his "hotel", where "every desire" will be catered for.

The celebrities will be competing for $100,000 to go to the charity of their choice.

Here's everything else we know about the upcoming series.

When will it begin?

It kicks off this Monday, November 1, at 7.30pm on Channel 7.

What's the format going to be like?

We're not too sure, although it's likely to be similar to previous seasons of Channel 7's revivedBig Brother. Unlike the OG, the newer seasons are filmed in advance.

The set was being constructed especially for the show, and continued being built during Sydney's lockdown construction ban, after producers were granted special permission, the Daily Mail reported.

Big Brother VIPis the second celebrity-themedBig Brotherformat to air in Australia, after the first season in 2002.

It will be hosted by Sonia Kruger.

Who is in the Big Brother VIP cast?

Channel 7 officially announced the cast on August 8, although there weren't any major surprises because most of the celebs had already been leaked.

Bernard Curry - actor.

If actor Bernard Curry is a familiar face, it's because he's commonplace on Australian television. He's achieved what I've just decided to dub the Australian soap double, appearing as Luke Handley inNeighboursand as Hugo Austin inHome and Away.

He also hosted the first four seasons ofBeauty and the Geek Australiafrom 2009 until 2012, and currently stars as Jake Stewart inWentworth.
