Will Best is back on our screens in a brand new series of Celebrity Big Brother on Monday night, when he and AJ Odudu will introduce viewers to a new batch of famous faces heading into the Big Brother house.
While Will has become a familiar face across the nation thanks to his role on the reality show, how much do you know about his life away from the cameras?
Will Best's TV career
Will, 39, began his broadcasting career back in 2010 as the co-host of VIVA's comedy music chat show Suck My Pop alongside Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh.
He went on to join T4, hosting the annual one-day music event, T4 on the Beach, before landing presenting gigs on 4Music's The Crush and the E4 dating show, Love Shaft.

Viewers may also recognise him as the host of ITV's Dance Dance Dance, which he fronted alongside Alesha Dixon in 2017.

At the time, Will said: "I grew up with Big Brother so getting a chance to host it with my mate AJ is a dream come true. I can't wait to tell some housemates not to swear."
Will Best's home life with longtime girlfriend
For over a decade, Will has been in a relationship with Tobi Rose.
While the couple tend to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, Will marked 12 years since they first met in a sweet post from March last year. Gushing over his other half, the presenter penned: "12 years ago today I met this truly one in a 7.88 billion human being. She was even my first ever insta post. And if you scroll right you'll see that, as well as being the love of my life, she’s also frighteningly true to her word."

While the pair don't have any children of their own, they often spend time with their little nephew Leo, who was born in 2016. Sharing a snap of Will holding Leo, the TV star wrote in the caption: "Little Leo - turning heads since 2016," before adding the hashtags: "#unclewilbo #unclesofinstagram."

Will has been friends with his Big Brother co-host AJ Odudu and Love Island star Maya Jama for years, with all three presenters having worked together in the past. Both Maya and AJ first appeared on Will's Instagram page way back in 2016.
Taking to social media in September 2022, the presenter posted a snap of the trio. "Pic from a few years ago DJ'ing at The Ivy with @ajodudu and @mayajama - just before my career absolutely took off, and theirs sadly stalled," he joked. "Keep plugging away tho guys! With enough hard work and determination you could catch me one day!"

Will Best's other ventures away from TV
Viewers may be surprised to know that Will is an entrepreneur as well as a presenter.
Back in 2017, Will and his friend Henry Farnham set up a drinks company, Bloody Drinks, which specialises in canned Bloody Mary cocktails and is stocked in Waitrose, Sainsburys, and Selfridges.

Celebrity Big Brother begins on Monday 4 March on ITV.
