Celebrity Big Brother is returning to screens on Monday night (February 4) for the first time in six years. Following the reboot of Big Brother in October 2023, the celebrity version is making a comeback on ITV with a host of famous faces set to enter the iconic house.
The last series back in 2018 saw former Corrie star Ryan Thomas, who is currently competing on Dancing on Ice, win the nation's hearts in the final season to air on Channel 5. The popular show will once again be presented by AJ Odudu, who previously hosted Big Brother's Bit On The Side, along with former 4Music presenter Will Best.
Since the revived series was announced, rumours have been circulating about who the new celebrity housemates will be. Whilst the line-up is yet to be confirmed by ITV, former This Morning host Fern Britton, 66, is amongst the stars expected to step foot in the house tonight.
