Following the successful revival of reality TV show Big Brother last year, which was won by lawyer Jordan Sangha, ITV/STV bosses were quick to confirm plans to bring back the celebrity edition of the show, and now it's finally arrived!

Revealing the news that Celebrity Big Brother would make an empathic comeback in 2024, hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best delighted fans, with the official Big Brother social media account writing: 'The Big Brother House is ready to roll out the red carpet in 2024 ✨ #BBUK'.

When does Celebrity Big Brother start?

With excitement through the roof for the return of Celebrity Big Brother, it's now been revealed that the new series will begin tonight (Monday 4th March 2024).

It's understood the series will last for three weeks, with daily episodes between Sunday-Friday.

Which celebs are heading into the house?

CBB bosses have said: "Celebrity Big Brother will see a new cast of famous faces isolated from the outside world as they embark on the ultimate social experiment, taking up residence in the iconic Big Brother house.

"Leaving luxury behind, the celebrities will take part in weekly nominations and tough tasks with cameras capturing their every move. Who will win the hearts of the nation, go all the way to the finish line and be crowned the winner?"

Bosses have confirmed no names will be revealed until the live launch show, but a leaked line-up seemingly 'confirmed' things last week.
