Fresh energy returns to a beloved format that rewrote television history more than two decades ago and gave birth to the reality show genre as we know it. GH VIP is back, bringing its eighth edition to Telecinco tonight at 22:45. The season opens with a new duo of presenters steering each two-week premiere block, Marta Flich and Ion Aramendi, ready to introduce viewers to a refreshed chapter of the show.
The return also marks a visual and logistical overhaul: a new, more comfortable home built around avant-garde design principles. The set spans over 1,000 square meters, combining modern aesthetics with practical layouts that invite spontaneous interactions. This is a space built to host the evolving dynamics of fame, friendship, tension, and strategy that fans have come to expect from a high-stakes reality competition.
In the premiere, GH VIP 8 will reveal its ensemble of famous participants whose identities have been kept under wraps, including Sol Macaluso, an Argentine journalist who will be introduced to the audience as part of the opening sequence. The house at Guadalix de la Sierra will welcome them for the first time, and the live broadcast will capture every moment around the clock on Mitele and Mitele PLUS. As always, the ultimate winner will be decided by audience choice. [Source: Telecinco]
GH VIP 8 debuts a renovated home
The Guadalix de la Sierra residence has undergone a thorough transformation to suit the needs of the GH VIP 8 participants. When doors open tomorrow, Thursday, contestants will step into a residence bathed in more natural light than ever before. The interior design embraces a minimalist yet warm approach, with furnishings fashioned from recycled materials that emphasize sustainability while preserving a chic, contemporary vibe. The result is a welcoming living space that encourages sociability and candid interactions, mirroring the show’s core emphasis on human dynamics in close quarters.
An impressive set covering over 1,000 square meters
The comeback of GH VIP also brings a comprehensive set redesign. The two-week gala is hosted by Marta Flich and Ion Aramendi in a cadence that balances precision with spontaneity. The new set measures around 1,000 square meters and rises about 10 meters high, featuring more than 230 square meters of high-definition LED displays. Over 150 robotic spotlights illuminate every moment, allowing producers to craft immersive scenes that heighten emotional beats and dramatic reveals. This striking hub now stands as one of the premiere production spaces in Spanish television, a testament to the show’s enduring appeal and its ability to evolve while staying true to its roots.
