First Celebrity Big Brother details confirmed ahead of launch

The first Celebrity Big Brother 2024 details have been confirmed as a brand new series comes to TV this year.

Fresh from last year’s Big Brother reboot on ITV2, Celebrity Big Brother will make a return on ITV1.

Celebrity Big Brother set to launch in March

The new series is currently scheduled to launch in March on ITV1 and ITVX and will run for around three weeks.

As with last year’s Big Brother, episodes will air Sunday – Friday nights.

There will be live streaming, available nightly on ITVX from 11PM – 2AM and from 9PM on Saturdays.

Alongside the main show, spin-off Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live will air nightly on ITV2 and ITVX, giving viewers an additional hour of exclusive content.

The show will introduce a fresh line-up of well-known personalities, cut off from the outside world in the ultimate test of social dynamics. These celebrities will trade their lavish lifestyles for life in the famous Big Brother house.

Throughout their stay, they’ll face weekly nominations and challenging tasks, all under the watchful eye of constant camera surveillance. Who will charm the nation, endure till the end, and emerge victorious as the winner?
