Celebrity Big Brother has undergone a shake-up ahead of its launch next month.
The iconic reality show is returning in March, but the line-up has been kept a secret. Fans have been speculating who could be entering the house, with potential contestants including Phillip Schofield and X Factor’s Louis Walsh.
The series hasn’t been on screens since 2018, while the non-celebrity version returned in 2023 following a five-year hiatus. Last year, viewers expressed their disappointment when the launch show wasn’t live.

But for the upcoming series, ITV is shaking things up as they have promised fans a live launch. It comes after reports emerged that Love Island’s Ekin-Su Culculoglu is set to spice things up in the infamous house following her split with Davide Sanclimenti.
The Turkish actress, 29, shot to fame in 2022 when she was crowned winner of the ITV2 dating show alongside Davide. The pair stayed together, apart from one brief break-up, until earlier in the month when Ekin-Su announced their 18-month romance was over.
She spilled the beans on Instagram, saying: “The last 18 months have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, just like every relationship. Davide and I both wanted to make this relationship work as we cared deeply for each other.”
She added: “Unfortunately, I have recently made the decision to end our relationship and to go our separate ways. Breakups are never easy for any couple. I enjoyed our time together and will cherish the memories we made.”
Other celebs tipped to enter the house are Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas, TOWIE’s Joey Essex, and Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary Goldsmith. The hit reality show has teased fans with more about the upcoming series, sharing its new colourful logo online.
The iconic eye logo features a selection of colours and symbols including a broken heart and a question mark topped off with a yellow star, perhaps hinting at the star-studded line-up. The new graphic emerged on X, formerly Twitter, as the official CBB page announced: “Celebrities… Big Brother is coming to get you. Coming March to ITV1 and #CBBUK.”
