Will Best, the TV presenter known for his work on Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother alongside AJ Odudu, is set to return to our screens. The dynamic duo will be back on Monday, April 7 with a new series of Celebrity Big Brother, welcoming a fresh batch of celebs into the iconic house.
Rumoured contestants this year include Ella Rae Wise, Chris Hughes, Tommy Fury, Chesney Hawkes and Trisha Goddard.
As we gear up to welcome Will and AJ back, let’s delve into Will’s life off-screen….
Born in London but raised in Tadcaster, Leeds, 40-year-old Will kickstarted his media career in 2010 and has since become a successful TV presenter and entrepreneur. He began his presenting journey on MTV, hosting Suck My Pop on VIVA with Kimberley Walsh and voicing the MTV Top 20 chart.
This led him to join T4 in 2011, where he hosted T4 On The Beach among other shows, reports the Mirror.
In 2012 and 2013, Will presented coverage of the iTunes Festival for Channel 4 with Nick Grimshaw, and also fronted Your Generation TV. In 2017, he teamed up with Alesha Dixon to present Dance, Dance, Dance.
But Will isn’t just a TV presenter – he’s also a successful entrepreneur. He co-founded the electronic music sharing site audiosplitter.fm, which launched in 2015.
Will and his mate, Henry Farnham, jumped into the entrepreneurial spirits scene by launching their own business, Bloody Drinks, in 2017. The genius behind this was creating ready-to-serve canned Bloody Mary cocktails, which have been snapped up by major retailers like Waitrose and Sainsbury’s, not to mention plenty of bars nationwide.
When it comes to love, Will is happily coupled up with his partner Tobi Rose. The duo started their romance back in 2010, but Tobi stays away from the limelight.
Word on the street last year was that Will popped the question to his longtime girlfriend, and apparently, they were absolutely thrilled.
A source told The Sun: “Naturally they are both overjoyed and can’t wait to celebrate making it down the aisle. There are no plans locked in at the moment.”
They added: “Due to both of their jobs they have a lot of celebrity pals – even if they don’t mix in so-called celebrity circles so the guest list will be impressive.”
