Production

[edit]

In August 2022, ITV plc. announced that they were reviving Big Brother in 2023.[3][4] However, it was not initially confirmed as to whether they were planning to revive Celebrity Big Brother alongside it.[5] 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.[6] 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.[7] 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".[8][9] Unlike the civilian series, which is broadcast on ITV2, the celebrity series will air exclusively on the main ITV network.[10] 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.[11][12]

Format

[edit]

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.[8] The series is set to begin with a 90-minute launch show airing on ITV1.[13] Unlike the prior civilian series, the launch will be live.[14]

The series began on 4 March 2024 and is set to run for 19 days, the shortest duration of a celebrity version since the third series in 2005, which will be covered over 17 episodes, airing six nights a week from Sunday to Friday at 9pm.[15] Six episodes of which are 90-minute shows, this includes the launch show, the live evictions which are set to air twice a week, and the final.[16][17] Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live follows at 10pm on ITV2. Following this, the Celebrity Big Brother: Live Stream covered live feed from the house "into the small hours every night" on ITVX, which aired seven nights a week from 11pm until 2am from Sunday from Friday, and from 9pm until 2am on Saturdays. The series concluded with a 90-minute finale episode.[18]

House

[edit]

The series was filmed at the same house built for the twentieth civilian series, located at Garden Studios in North London.[19] The house followed the same design as the twentieth civilian series, however the colour schemes were changed slightly as well as other elements of decor.[20] Another addition was the gold stars featured on the walls and furniture in rooms throughout the house.[21][22] The Diary Room chair was revealed on 29 February 2024, and is the same chair used for the twentieth civilian series, but features a gold star in the centre and one of the light panels behind the chair features pink lightbulbs. The "Big Brother eye" at the foot of the garden that was previously a seating area has instead been filled with plants.[23]

[edit]

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."[24] On 9 February 2024, the official eye logo for the series was revealed during that evening's episode of Love Island: All Stars on ITV2.[25] The logo uses the same design as the twentieth civilian series, but instead features a "star" in the centre and several of the emojis have been replaced with a trophy, champagne glasses and a camera respectively.[26]

Trailer

[edit]

The trailer for the series was released on 15 February 2024, featuring "celebrities" in various scenarios covering their faces with different objects as they attempt to evade the paparazzi.[27] It concludes with hosts Odudu and Best stood outside the Big Brother house during which they state the tagline "They [the celebrities] can run... but there is one place they can't hide".[28][27][29]
