Big Brother 2017 will run for 'seven or eight weeks' before Celebrity Big Brother starts, Emma Willis has said.

Speaking on ITV's This Morning today, Emma spoke about this summer's shows following Monday night's launch.

She said: "We're on for eight or nine weeks [with Big Brother] then we have Celebrity Big Brother on afterwards for four weeks."

Emma went on to admit she had yet to actually watch the latest from the show after enjoying a night out yesterday.

"The house is incredible. I missed last night so I haven't seen what happened. I haven't seen last night's episode," Emma said.

On the housemates, Emma confessed she didn't know there would be so many reality stars on the line up.

"There's a couple, which I didn't know, I didn't know about," she said, "But different ages, different backgrounds, I think they've really tried to reflect Britain in society.

"Some have gone in as couples, they are individuals so if the daughter wants to vote for her mum to get out, she can do that!"

Emma added: "I really like the married couple and the two sisters, there's a few I quite like... then there's a few I'm like 'Hmm, what are they going to be like?!'"

Big Brother 2017 continues nightly on Channel 5.
