First look inside Celebrity Big Brother’s 2024 house
Celebrity Big Brother is back – and, for the first time ever, it is on ITV.
Months after the reality series titan returned on a new channel, the celebrity version has been resurrected in the hopes of emulating the success of the latest civilian series, which was won by Jordan Sangha in November.
The contestants include X Factor judge Louis Walsh, Love Island winner Ekin-Su and Kate Middleton’s uncle, all of whom are said to have been spotted at a London hotel hours before the launch.
Sharon Osbourne has also entered the compound, but as a “celebrity lodger”; the star, who joins her fellow X Factor judge Walsh, is expected to be in the series for a few days only.
In the past, Big Brother, which aired on Channel 4 and then Channel 5, has been hosted by Davina McCall, Brian Dowling and Emma Willis, but the new iteration is headed up by AJ Odudu and Will Best.
Previous versions of Celebrity Big Brother have created TV gold, from Tiffany Pollard’s iconic “David’s Dead” misunderstanding to George Galloway and Rula Lenska‘s creepy cat cosplay.

The ups and downs of Kate Middleton’s playboy uncle
The much-hyped entrance of Kate Middleton’s playboy uncle into the Big Brother house will likely be met with dread by the royal family’s already overloaded PR team.
It’s been an exhausting 12 months for “The Firm”, with everything from major health shocks such as King Charles’s cancer diagnosis to severe embarrassment caused by Prince Andrew’s much-publicised friendship with late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
So Gary Goldsmith’s entrance into the CBB house on Monday will only induce shudders from those in Buckingham Palace who fear he will create more unwanted headlines.
Here we take a look at the ups and downs of the Princess of Wales’s “black sheep” uncle Gary Goldsmith:

Will Best almost missed live launch
While he’s yet to elaborate on why, Will Best alerted his Instagram followers to the fact that he almost missed the launch episode of Celebrity Big Brother.
He told his followers just one hour before the episode started on ITV: “So guys, this is nearly it. We’re basically one hour away from going live on Celebrity Big Brother 2024. I’ve literally just been given a clean bill of health by a paramedic. Thank you very much. It’s a long story.”

The Apprentice: You’re Fired host Tom Allen is being absolutely savage on Late & Live.
First, he’s calling out Gary’s inclusion for merely being the uncle of someone famous (Kate Middleton) and then repeatedly poking fun at the fact that every single houaemate leaked days before the launch show.
