Production
Eye logo
The official eye logo for the series was released on 8 July 2016 when it was posted online by presenter Emma Willis. The eye is the same that was used in Big Brother 17 which was split, with black on one side and white on the other with shattered, coloured glass separating them down the middle, however the logo features a star in the middle to represent the celebrity series.[5] On 15 July 2016 a revamped eye was revealed. The revamped eye is the same as the former eye, but now split into a gold half and a white half.[6]
Teasers
On 19 July 2016, a brief 4-second "eye flash" aired on Channel 5 with the series eye logo emblazoned on a suitcase.[7] On 21 July 2016, countdown adverts started airing with clues to the housemates identities, with the clues being "Beach bod",[8] "Glamour puss",[9] "National treasure",[10] and "Iconic model".
Broadcasting
On 8 July 2016, it was confirmed that the spin-off show Bit on the Side would air an additional episode on Sunday nights on 5Star.[1] Hour-long midnight live feed also returned for the series.[11]
House
On 28 July 2016, Good Morning Britain toured the house and uploaded a 30-second video to their YouTube channel containing pictures of the kitchen area, stairs, bedroom and an empty living area. The sofa was confirmed to be Emerald Green.
The staircase was changed to gold along with the diary room door and walls. In the bedroom the gold theme continued and the carpet was changed to cream colour. The pod was also changed to a golden front with a red and orange theme inside.

Notes
- ^Note 1 : On Day 1, the public voted for Biggins to become the "Secret Boss", and believed he had sole control over who was nominated in the first week. However, the housemates were aware of his position, and were told that the housemates he nominates will actually receive immunity. He chose Saira on Day 1, Lewis on Day 2 and Heavy D on Day 3. For completing the task, Biggins also received immunity.
- ^Note 2 : On Day 9, the housemates each voted in a face-to-face vote for one housemate to receive 'eternal nomination'. Bear received the most votes and will face every eviction until he is either evicted or reaches the final.
- ^Note 3 : Shortly after Saira's eviction, the three eviction survivors; Bear, Heavy D and Lewis were told they had to give a killer nomination each to decide who would face eviction. On Day 14, Renee was saved from eviction and had to replace herself with another housemate. She chose Chloe. After James and Bear were saved, the two housemates with the fewest votes: Chloe and Marnie, went head-to-head in a game of chance to determine who would be evicted. The housemates each voted for who they would like to leave, which would take up a proportion of a wheel. All housemates except Chloe and Bear voted to evict Chloe, with Chloe and Bear voting Marnie. James was revealed to have received the most public votes to save and given the task of spinning the wheel. Chloe was evicted after the wheel landed on one of her sections.
- ^Note 4 : The nominations were face-to-face. This week was a double eviction.
- ^Note 5 : The housemates were separated into two teams for the festive themed head-to-head challenges. The Elves were Aubrey, Frankie, Marnie and Renee whilst the Reindeer were Bear, Katie, Ricky and Samantha. The Elves won two nominations to give each, whilst the losing team only had one nomination to give each.
- ^Note 6 : This week the public were voting for who they wanted to win. Bear won with 35.9% of the final vote, whilst Ricky was runner-up with 34.57%. Renee was third with 14.66%, Marnie was fourth with 5.51%, Aubrey was fifth with 4.82% and Frankie finished sixth with 3.54%, however none of these figures take into account the vote freezes between each position.[20]
