CELEBRITY Big Brother’s start date has been revealed by a show insider who has claimed it will kick off in four weeks.
And the return of Celebrity Big Brother – after six years away – will be an even bigger deal, as it will be broadcast on ITV1 daily, rather than ITV2 where the civilian version aired last year.
A message from Super TV explained on X, formerly Twitter: “Celebrity Big Brother news.
“The launch will air on Monday the 4th of March – in exactly one month!
“There’ll be TWO 90 minute live eviction shows every week (one midweek and one on Friday’s as before) with the Live Final on FRIDAY 22nd March!”
The Sun previously shared AJ Odudu and Will Best will return to host the show, after making their debut as Big Brother hosts in Octover.
A source said: “There was huge pressure on AJ and Will’s shoulders when they launched ITV’s reboot of Big Brother but they’ve absolutely risen to it.
“Both had experience but this felt like a really big job and there were whispers ITV might’ve been better choosing a pair of safe hands like Big Brother legends Davina McCall or Rylan Clark.
“Will especially hadn’t been on a proper prime-time production for a good few years, but it’s half way into the series and it’s already hard to imagine the show without them.”
Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary Goldsmith has signed to appear on the show.
Gary — brother of Kate’s mum Carole — had been locked in talks with them but signed his deal last week.
A source said: “Gary is champing at the bit to get on Celebrity Big Brother.
“He finalised the terms of his deal today and can’t wait to enter the house.”
