Production

Pre-series

Initially, only one series of Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother was planned to air once a year over the span of two years, but on 27 March 2012, Channel 5 announced that a second celebrity series would air in 2012. This is the first time that two series of Celebrity Big Brother have been broadcast in the same year. It is also only the second edition to be shown in summer instead of winter. Big Brother 13 was originally planned to run for thirteen weeks but was cut back to ten weeks to accommodate this series.

Adverts

The first trailer for this series was broadcast on 9 August, which showed host Brian Dowling in the Diary Room, with Big Brother telling him who will be entering the House, reacting excitedly. A teaser clip showing facial features of all the celebrity housemates was shown on 11 August 2012

Logo

The eye logo for the series was revealed on 4 August 2012. The eye remains similar to the Big Brother 13 logo, but with the iconic Celebrity Big Brother star in the centre of the eye and some of the colour blocks changed.

Voting

The only way for viewers to vote during this series is by calling a premium rate telephone number. It had initially been announced that Facebook voting would be in effect for this series but due to technical issues during Big Brother 13, Channel 5 cancelled these plans.

House

The house remained largely unchanged from the thirteenth regular series. A separate room became the gym, the theme of the bedroom changed to a new maroon colour, with changed beds and a completely new carpet, the shower door was replaced and cameras were removed from the toilets, and new rugs were placed on the bathroom floor and the entrance to the garden. The sofas were also brand new to the Celebrity Big Brother House.

Twists

Live nominations

On Day 3, housemates nominated live on Channel 5, on the spin-off show Celebrity Big Brother: Live From The House. The nominations took place face-to-face in the living room, where Big Brother told housemates that they were required to nominate just one housemate to face the public vote. As a result of this, with three nominations each, Jasmine and Rhian were nominated for eviction and Jasmine was evicted six days later.

Jasmine's mother

After the second live eviction, Big Brother's Bit on the Side host Emma Willis revealed that Jasmine Lennard's mother would enter the house during the weekend, and would be controlled by Jasmine through an earpiece as part of a task.

Weekly summary
Day 1	Entrances	Julie, Cheryl, The Situation, Julian, Rhian, Harvey, Samantha, Lorenzo, Danica, Ashley, Coleen, Jasmine and Martin entered the Big Brother house.
	Tasks	Soap stars Cheryl and Julie were given a secret mission in which they had to cause as much drama as they could by following Big Brother's instructions through an ear piece which was handed to them through the diary room on the launch. The task saw Julie and Cheryl have a fight about an affair Julie had with one of Cheryl's ex-boyfriends. The task ended with an argument climaxing with Julie throwing a drink in Cheryl's face. They both successfully passed the task and won the house a soap opera themed party in the garden.
Day 2	Tasks	Julian and The Situation were called to the diary room in order to participate in The Moment of Truth task, in which they found two boards matching phrases to the other housemates' faces. As the pair were giving the answers, the other housemates had to stand behind a podium with a corresponding bubble they believe represents them the most, peeling off a square from the podium to reveal whether they are correct. Julian and The Situation had to match every housemate and statement correctly in order to pass. As they incorrectly matched Danica, Julie, Martin, and Rhian they failed the task.
Day 3	Tasks	As part of the female housemates' secret mission, they must flirt with Prince Lorenzo in hopes of being picked as his princess. The princess will be given royal treatment from Lorenzo for the rest of the day, showered with gifts provided by HRH Big Brother. Prince Lorenzo chose Samantha to be his princess.
	Nominations	The first round of nominations took place live, face-to-face on Channel 5. Each housemate was given an envelope containing pictures of all the other housemates.

Jasmine and Rhian both received three nominations and will face the first public vote on Day 8.
Day 4	Tasks	Julian and Julie became team captains for Day 4's task. They had to judge the other housemates' talents and then each choose one to represent their team.

Day 7	Tasks	As part of winning a luxury shopping budget, Big Brother chose Jasmine and Rhian to spend the £725 budget exclusively outside the House. In the late night hours, they were transported to a local Morrisons, each taking turns in a trolley dash. If they spent more than the budget, they would lose all the groceries. Their groceries totalled £438.65, successfully allowing them to bring all the groceries back to the House.
Day 8	Nominations	Housemates nominated at night soon after Jasmine's eviction. Julian received five nominations, whilst Cheryl, Coleen, Prince Lorenzo and The Situation all tied with three nominations, therefore all five housemates faced the public vote.
