has been given a new version of its iconic eye by Channel 5.

Returning for a new series this summer, the reality show's new logo was unveiled during Home and Away this evening (May 7) at around 6.10pm.

The multicoloured image is a facelifted version of the shiny 2011 eye, which marked the network's first year broadcasting the show after it moved from Channel 4.

Channel 5's director of programmes Jeff Ford said: "The Big Brother eye logo is one of TV's most iconic symbols, and this fresh new look reflects how the show itself is constantly evolving and reinventing itself. It will be front and centre of the new campaign as we ramp up the excitement ahead of the show returning to Channel 5 this summer."

Big Brother's executive producer Susy Price added: "We are delighted with this year's confident and playful re-versioning of the Big Brother eye. The multi-faceted concept reflects the ever-evolving personality of the programme and moves the brand forward for this exciting new series."

Big Brother returns for a marathon run this year, with January's celebrity version being followed by a ten-week classic series, and then a second celebrity edition for 2012.

The eye will be used for both ordinary and Celebrity Big Brother runs.

Marcus Bentley has said that Big Brother will return to television screens next month.

The 'voice of Big Brother' appeared to confirm speculation that the series will return to its traditional summer broadcast slot in a post on his Twitter feed last night (May 10).

Bentley wrote: "Big Brother starts next month - the exact date is to be finalised."

However when pressed as to the exact date, he declined to answer, adding: "What I mean is, I know approximate dates [and] yes I'm contractually not allowed to divulge those dates. The exact date is not decided."

Bentley, who has narrated every series of Big Brother since it first launched on Channel 4 in 2000, also said that Channel 5 intends to decide the exact start date of the show next week.

He added that he does not yet know when confirmation will come.

Big Brother debuted on Channel 5 in a September time slot last year, preceded by a three-week celebrity edition of the show.

It was reported yesterday that viewers will be able to choose a wildcard contestant to join the housemates, in an echo of the second series' "Big Brother Election" in 2001.
