Series 22

Celebrity Big Brother 2024, also known as Celebrity Big Brother 23, is the current twenty-third series of Celebrity Big Brother. It is the first celebrity series and second series of Big Brother overall to air on ITV after ITV plc. gained the rights to the format. The series began on 4 March 2024, almost six years since it last aired on Channel 5 and is co-presented by AJ Odudu and Will Best.

Production

In August 2022, ITV plc. announced that they were reviving Big Brother in 2023.[1][2] However, it was not initially confirmed as to whether they were planning to revive Celebrity Big Brother alongside it. In October 2023, the twentieth civilian series launched on ITV2 presented by AJ Odudu and Will Best, and several reports of a revival of Celebrity Big Brother began circulating.[3] In November 2023, during the fifth live eviction episode of the civilian series, it was announced that Celebrity Big Brother would return on ITV in 2024, presented by Odudu and Best.[4] An ITV press release confirmed the decision to recommission the celebrity version was reached "following the success of the civilian series", and that "a star-studded celebrity edition would air on ITV1 and STV following year".[5][6] Unlike the civilian series, which is broadcast on ITV2, the celebrity series will air exclusively on the main ITV network.[7] The show's spin off series Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live is planned to air on ITV2, with the Celebrity Big Brother: Live Stream airing daily on ITVX.[8]

Format

Following the commissioning of the show, ITV confirmed that 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" [...] and will take part in weekly nominations and tasks with cameras capturing their every move.[5] The series is set to begin with a 90-minute launch show airing on ITV1. Unlike the prior civilian series, the launch will be live.[9]

It is planned to run for 19 days, and due to be covered over 17 episodes, airing six nights a week from Sunday to Friday at 9pm. 6 of these episodes are 90-minute shows, this includes the launch, live evictions and the finale. Big Brother: Late & Live follows at 10pm on ITV2. Following this, the Big Brother: Live Stream will cover live feed from the house "into the small hours every night" on ITVX, which will air seven nights a week from 11pm until 2am from Sunday from Friday, and from 9pm until 2am on Saturdays. The series will conclude with a 90-minute finale episode.[10]

House

The series will be filmed at the same house built for the twentieth civilian series, located at Garden Studios in North London.[11]

During the 20-second teaser aired in November 2023, it depicted the basic eye logo template similar to the one used for the civilian series teaser, however featured a star in the centre instead. The show's narrator Marcus Bentley teased the series with the tagline "Celebrities... Big Brother is coming to get you."[12]

On 9 February 2024, the official logo for the series was revealed during that night's episode of Love Island: All Stars on ITV2. The logo used the same design as Big Brother 20, which aired in 2023.[13]

Housemates
