Celebrity Big Brother is officially returning six years after it was axed.
ITV have announced that the star-studded edition of the iconic reality show will air in 2024, meaning a brand new cast of celebs will be thrown into the house and forced to face the “ultimate social experiment”. The last series aired on Channel 5 in 2018 and crowned Corrie star Ryan Thomas champ.
The new series will air across ITV1, STV, ITVX and STV Player. It comes following the success of the Big Brother civilian reboot, which is still airing and is hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best.
