How many series has there been?

Celebrity Big Brother first kicked off in 2001, with the spin-off show airing all the way up until 2018.

Perhaps the most memorable series to date was in 2016, when the likes of Gemma Collins, Stephanie Davis, Jeremy McConnell, Scotty T, Tiffany Pollard, Angie Bowie, David Gest and Megan McKenna entered the house.
