Big Brother UK host Will Best: A look into his life with long-term girlfriend Tobi Rose

Big Brother UK 2023 is coming to our TV screens in less than a week! The ITV’s reboot will air on October 8 as many viewers will watch it live in the studio after grabbing their tickets. Show bosses announced that Strictly Come DancingStar AJ Odudu and Will Best will be hosting the reboot show.

While AJ Odudu is wildly popular, Will Best is the lesser known host - but it won’t stay like that for long. Here’s what we know about him!

Will Best and his long-term girlfriend Tobi Rose

The 38-year-old Londoner has been dating Tobi Rose for 12 years now. According to The Sun, things are peachy in his love life as he recently paid tribute to his girlfriend and shared:

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.

Will’s girlfriend is on Instagram as @tobiroseofficial with a private account. Tobi has merely 625 followers on Instagram hinting that she likes to keep her life private. While Will has traces of his romance with Tobi on his Instagram, he refrains from posting much of her too.

Will Best and his career

Metro.co.uk confirmed that Will Best has been working as a presenter since 2010. He keeps on travelling for work to many exotic locations for hosting shows, but Big Brother UK is his biggest gig yet.

Will and AJ will be presiding over weekly evictions and quizzing housemates on the events of the day alongside a spin-off show Big Brother: Late & Live. The BB gig means that Will can finally stow away his suitcase, as his Instagram shows he is usually travelling the world hosting festivals and TV shows for Red Bull TV.

The new Big Brother host has also previously been hired by Channel 4, ITV and the BBC in the past. In 2010, he fronted a comedy-pop show called Suck my Pop on Viva with Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh. The series that lasted three months saw Will conduct interviews and fun challenges with singing stars.

He then presented T4 on E4 until 2012 before moving on to E4’s dating show Love Shaft. Love Shaft had singletons attempting to forge connections while travelling in a lift. Will has also worked with former Big Brother host Davina McCall as he worked with her on Got to Dance. He presented a spin-off called Got to Dance: Auditions Uncut for Sky.

Will led BBC’s documentary - Is This Rape? Sex on Trial in 2015. Will can cover serious issues but most of his career has seen him presenting fun bits.
