"Not only is it London-based but it’s only been open for a year and promises the highest standard of production and also a commitment to sustainability."

Is the Big Brother backyard really outside?
Big Brother producers value the privacy of the show which means there are high walls around the garden.
This is so there is no contact with the outside world for the duration of filming.
It is also for security reasons as people from the outside will not be able to climb in.
Do Big Brother contestants get paid?
Big Brother houseguests do indeed get paid during their time on the show but it's not for participating in the show.
Speaking to the Metro, a Big Brother spokesperson denied that any housemates negotiated specific fees to take part.
“Unlike Celebrity Big Brother, housemates are not paid to participate as they have a chance of winning £100,000,” the rep commented.
However, series 15 star Mark Byron said Big Brother helps the housemates by offering a small cash sum to help with the bills on the outside world.
He said: "They give you a little bit to help you, they do give you a subsidy. I think, when I was on, it was only something like £50. It's not a lot but they do help you.
"It was like £50 for every day you're in there which isn't a lot but if you're in there for 13 weeks it soon adds up."
The Big Brother reboot has confirmed its prize money and said it is an "incredible amount".
The casting team's advert said: "We’re looking for the nation’s most interesting, funny and entertaining characters from all walks of life. Think you’ve got what it takes to be a great housemate?
"If you want an amazing experience and a chance of winning an incredible amount of money, we’d love to hear from you."
The exact prize fund is yet to be revealed.
