Big Brother: Timebomb will have its live launch on Tuesday, May 12 at 9pm on Channel 5.

Earlier today, presenters Emma Willis and Rylan Clark gave a hint of what the housemates can expect this year in a 30-second teaser for the new series.

In the promo clip the pair are dressed as spies in a secret lair, where they talk of "time-based disturbances".

"Days will turn into nights, time will stop, rewind and tasks will get turned on their heads," Willis is heard saying.

Show bosses have promised Mad Men-influenced, '60s-style decor for the new house as part of an "upbeat, glamorous, thrilling and mischievous" series.
