March 3rd 2024.
The Celebrity Big Brother house has seen its fair share of famous faces over the years. And what better way to kick off the launch of Celebrity Big Brother 2024 than by taking a trip down memory lane? After being acquired by ITV, the beloved celebrity version of the popular social experiment is finally returning to our screens on Monday night. And we couldn't be more excited to see what drama and shenanigans these new housemates will bring.
The new season will be hosted by the dynamic duo of AJ Odudu and Will Best, and it's safe to say that fans are eagerly awaiting the premiere. Following the success of last year's civilian series, which saw Jordan Sangha take home the grand prize, this year's celebrity edition is set to be even more star-studded. With names like Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh, and reality TV icon Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu on the lineup, we can't wait to see what unfolds in the house.
Over the years, Celebrity Big Brother has seen its fair share of major A-listers and surprising friendships and romances. So, let's take a look back at some of the unforgettable stars who have graced the house. And to be honest, some of these will probably blow your mind as much as they did ours.
First up, we have Take That heartthrob Mark Owen, who not only participated in the show but also emerged as the winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2 in 2002. Back then, the house had a smaller lineup of just six celebrity housemates, which also included names like Anne Diamond, Melinda Messenger, and Goldie. Fun fact: Mark only received one nomination during his time in the house, which is quite an impressive feat.
Next on our list is the beloved actor Verne Troyer, who was a finalist in Celebrity Big Brother 6. Verne, best known for his role as Mini-Me in the Austin Powers franchise, lived with fellow celebrities like Ulrika Jonsson, Tina Malone, and Mutya Buena. Sadly, Verne passed away in 2018, but his stint in the house will always be remembered for his memorable performance of "Endless Love" with Ulrika.
Another controversial character in the world of Celebrity Big Brother was Perez Hilton, who caused quite a stir during his appearance in season 15. The American blogger and columnist made sure to keep things interesting with his constant pot-stirring and clashes with housemates like Katie Hopkins and Michelle Visage. Despite being labeled as "the most hated man in Britain," Perez managed to stay in the house for a total of 29 days before being evicted.
Media personality and model Jodie Marsh was also a part of an iconic series of Celebrity Big Brother. During her time in the house in season 4, Jodie had her fair share of fiery moments, including arguments with Michael Barrymore and Pete Burns. She was eventually evicted on day nine after being nominated eight times by her fellow housemates.
H from Steps, also known as Ian Watkins, was a housemate in one of the most controversial seasons of Celebrity Big Brother. His stint was overshadowed by the infamous drama between Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty, but H still managed to make an impact during his time in the house. He came out as gay on the day he entered and finished in fourth place.
Last but certainly not least, we have Cheryl Fergison, best known for her role as Heather Trott in EastEnders. She participated in season 10 of Celebrity Big Brother and was surprisingly evicted second from the house. Fans were disappointed to see her leave so early, but luckily we can always look back on her memorable moments, like when she and fellow housemate Julie Goodyear had to use their acting skills for a task.
With such a star-studded lineup and the return of the iconic Celebrity Big Brother, we can't wait to see what this season has in store for us. So mark your calendars and join us for live updates on Monday, March 4 at 8pm as we kick off this highly-anticipated season. See you then!
The Celebrity Big Brother house has been home to a diverse group of stars over the years. And what better way to celebrate the launch of the 2024 season than by taking a trip down memory lane? The highly-anticipated celebrity version of the popular social experiment is back on our screens, thanks to its acquisition by ITV. And this time, it's being hosted by the dynamic duo of AJ Odudu and Will Best.
Following the success of the civilian series last autumn, which saw Jordan Sangha take home a whopping £100,000 in a landslide victory, the showbiz edition promises to be even more star-studded. Some huge names are lined up to enter the house, including the legendary Sharon Osbourne, former X Factor judge Louis Walsh, and reality TV icon Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
But let's not forget, Celebrity Big Brother has always been known for its major A-listers and the unexpected friendships and romances that bloom within its walls. So, in honor of the show's return, let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of the huge stars who have graced the Big Brother house in the past. And trust us, some of these may just blow your mind.
First up, we have none other than Take That's very own Mark Owen. That's right, the Patience hitmaker was not only a part of the 2002 series, but he also emerged as the winner. Back then, the show's lineup was relatively small, with only six celebrity housemates, including Anne Diamond, Melinda Messenger, and Goldie. It's no wonder Mark likes to forget about his time in the house, as he once revealed in an interview. But hey, he may have erased it from his memory, but we certainly haven't.
Moving on to another iconic series, Celebrity Big Brother 6, where we saw the beloved Verne Troyer, best known for his role as Mini-Me in the Austin Powers franchise, as one of the finalists. The Michigan-born actor shared the house with the likes of Ulrika Jonsson, Tina Malone, and Mutya Buena, and ended up finishing fourth. One of his most memorable moments on the show was his rendition of Lionel Richie and Diana Ross's Endless Love with Ulrika. Sadly, the beloved star passed away in 2018, and his death was ruled as a suicide by alcohol poisoning.
Next on our list is the infamous Perez Hilton, who was a housemate on Celebrity Big Brother 15. And let's just say, his time in the house was nothing short of controversial. The American blogger and columnist took every opportunity to stir the pot and clash with his fellow housemates, including Katie Hopkins and Michelle Visage. His outrageous behavior and attention-seeking tactics may have divided viewers, but they certainly kept him in the house for a total of 29 days until he was evicted.
Media personality and model Jodie Marsh was also a part of the iconic Celebrity Big Brother 4, which featured the likes of George Galloway and Rula Lenska. And let's just say, Jodie had her fair share of fiery moments in the house, including arguments with Michael Barrymore and being called an "imbecile" by Pete Burns. But her time in the house was cut short when she was evicted on day nine after being nominated eight times by her fellow housemates.
Remember H from Steps? Well, he was also a housemate on Celebrity Big Brother during one of its most controversial seasons, where he was overshadowed by the Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty drama. The Tragedy hitmaker came out as gay on the day he entered the house and ended up finishing fourth. And last but certainly not least, we have Cheryl Fergison, aka Heather Trott from EastEnders, who was a part of Celebrity Big Brother 10. And it's hard to believe, but she was actually the second housemate to be evicted. But hey, anything can happen in the Big Brother house.
So, as we eagerly await the launch of Celebrity Big Brother 2024, let's not forget the unforgettable moments and stars who have graced the show in the past. And don't forget to tune in on Monday night for live updates on all the action. See you then!
