Celebrity Big Brother 2025, also known as Celebrity Big Brother 24, is the twenty-fourth series of Celebrity Big Brother. It is the second celebrity series and fourth series of Big Brother overall to air on ITV since ITV plc. gained the rights to the format. The series began on 7 April 2025 on ITV1 and was co-presented by AJ Odudu and Will Best, who also returned to host the companion show, Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live on ITV2.
The series concluded on 25 April 2025, with Coronation Street actor Jack P. Shepherd being announced as the winner, with drag queen Danny Beard finishing as the runner-up.[1]
Production
[edit]In November 2024, prior to the final of the twenty-first civilian series, it was announced that Celebrity Big Brother would return on ITV in 2025, as well as another civilian series, in celebration of Big Brother's 25th anniversary, with Odudu and Best returning as presenters.[2][3][4] As in the previous series, the series will air exclusively on the main ITV network whilst the spin off series Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live will again air on ITV2, with the Celebrity Big Brother: Live Stream airing daily on ITVX.[5][6]
Format
[edit]Following the re-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. The series is set to begin with a 90-minute live launch show airing on ITV1.[2][7]
The series began on 7 April 2025 and is slated to run for 19 days, due to be covered over 17 episodes, airing six nights a week from Sunday to Friday on ITV1, with six of these episodes being 90-minute shows, this includes the launch, live evictions and the finale.[8] The Monday to Friday episodes will air at 9pm, whilst Sunday episodes will air at 10pm due to the broadcast of the ITV drama Grace in the former slot.[9] Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live follows afterwards on ITV2, airing from 10pm until 11pm from Monday to Friday, and from 11pm until 12am on Sundays. The "celebrity house guest" panelists for this series consisted of David Potts, who won the previous series of the show, Tiffany Pollard who was a housemate on the seventeenth series, and Oti Mabuse respectively, who each appear in a week's worth of episodes.[10] Following this, the Celebrity Big Brother: Live Stream will cover live feed from the house "into the small hours every night" on ITVX, which will air seven nights a week from 11pm until 2am from Monday to Friday, from 9pm until 2am on Saturdays and from 12am until 2am on Sundays. For the first time in the show's history, the Live Stream will also air simultaneously on YouTube. The series will conclude with a 90-minute finale episode.[2][11]
House
[edit]In December 2024, it was reported that ITV would move from the house located at Garden Studios to a new location in London ahead of the upcoming twenty-fourth celebrity series.[12] The following month, it was announced that the house would be built at Titan Studios, rendering it the fourth house to be used for the series since the show's inception. The spin-off show Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live was filmed in the neighbouring Versa Studios, who also acquired Titan Studios as a part of their expansion prior to the launch.[13][14] Speaking on the new location, Jody Collins, director of Initial, the production company behind the show, said "The most iconic house on television has found a new home, and we couldn’t be more delighted. The needs of the production are substantial and Versa [Studios] is uniquely equipped to meet these demands. Expect a season filled with exceptional and unforgettable reality moments—we cannot wait!". Meanwhile, Charlie Ingall, the executive director of the studios said: "Versa’s expansion in London has been part of our ambitious growth strategy, and it further elevates our business as a first choice for large scale, high profile productions such as Big Brother.[15] The significant investment we have made in this expansion gives us the ability to create long term homes for our clients, and in turn support the television and film community."[16]
House photos were revealed on 4 April 2025, three days before the show's launch.[17] Despite moving to a new location, the house maintained a similar structure to the previous series, but with updated colour schemes, primarily red and gold. The "paint dripping" theme used for the twenty-first civilian series is also replicated throughout the house, whilst the diary room chair is similar to that of the civilian series, with the chair's frame resembling "dripping paint", however instead has gold cushioning, as well as gold stars added to the frame. A red curtain backdrop was also added to the diary room.[18] For this series, the mezzanine floor, which has featured since the show's revival on ITV, was removed, with the house becoming single storey again.[19] The kitchen follows a blue and gold colour scheme, whilst the bathroom retains a similar colour scheme to the civilian series, consisting of mostly teal, pinks and purples, but with added spots of gold and a star in centre of the floor. In a further change for this series, the bedroom and garden are visible from the living area, with the former becoming directly accessible from a transparent glass door in the living area rather than via the corridor. The bedroom also follows the red and gold theme, with both single and double beds available and a vanity station.[20] The garden follows a multi-coloured theme, also primarily red. It includes a red carpet with gold stars on which runs down from the upper area of the garden; which features a seating area, down onto the artificial grass. The grass features a larger gold star inside bigger green star shapes. The garden also features a hot tub and various sun loungers, as well as the "snug", a new separate room.[21]
Trailer and eye logo
[edit]In February 2025, during the final of the second series of Love Island: All Stars, the first trailer for the series aired which featured Love Island narrator Iain Stirling seemingly introducing "the return" of the former, however the screen subsequently changes and Marcus Bentley interrupts to announce the return of Celebrity Big Brother.[22] The trailer also featured the new eye logo, which retains the same "paint dripping" design as the twenty-first civilian series, but instead features a "star" in the centre. In March 2025, a further trailer began airing which featured a guinea pig stood on a red carpet whilst camera's from the paparazzi flash around it. The star from the eye eye logo subsequently flashes in the guinea pig's eye, whilst Bentley narrates with the tagline, "The original celebrity experiment returns".[23] A full length trailer began airing later that month, which featured various guinea pigs, one of which crawls through a tube before they all step out of cars and onto a red carpet.[24] They are subsequently seen walking along a smaller model of the outdoor Big Brother set and into the house, with cardboard figures as the audience.[25] Voice snippets are added from the hosts with Best stating "This is Celebrity Big Brother, whilst Odudu can be heard saying the "Please do not swear" catchphrase, prior to Bentley repeating the same tagline from the initial trailer.[26][27]

Notes
[edit]- ^Note 1 : On Day 1, Mickey entered "Big Brother's Top Secret Power Prize Room" where he was given the option the choose between three powers; "Immunity", "Guardian Angel" and "Killer Nomination". He chose "Guardian Angel", allowing him to give immunity to a fellow housemate: he chose Daley. After being selected by Mickey to enter next, JoJo opted for the "Killer Nomination" power, allowing her to automatically nominate a fellow housemate for eviction: she chose Mickey. Chris was selected by JoJo to enter the room last, ultimately leaving him with the final power of Immunity, granting him safety from the first eviction.
- ^Note 2 : Housemates nominated face-to-face.
- ^Note 3 : On Day 14, the nominated housemates were given the opportunity to save themselves from eviction by finding the "golden egg", and in doing so had to choose another housemate to replace them and face the public vote. JoJo found the "golden egg" and chose Danny to face eviction in her place.
- ^Note 4 : The public were voting for who they wanted to win, not who to save. The percentages account for the proportion of all votes the finalists received when the lines closed for good, and do not reflect the voting freezes that occurred during the final. Jack won with 51.13% of the vote between him and Danny.
