ITV has finally confirmed the launch date for Celebrity Big Brother 2025 in the UK (and there's not long to wait).

The show will be returning for a second series starring some of the most famous faces, following its 2024 comeback. 

The announcement comes as the broadcaster recently released a teaser for the series, which sees the return of the nation's "furry favourites" - a herd of glamorous guinea pigs making their way into the Big Brother house for the "original social experiment".

A new batch of VIPs are preparing to take up residence in the iconic house, which has moved to a brand-new location for the forthcoming instalment. 

Viewers can expect tense tasks, nail-biting nominations and gripping gossip as an array of celebrities spill the tea on their life in the spotlight, according to ITV.

Celebrity Big Brother will once again be followed each night by Celebrity Big Brother: Late & Live hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best - giving viewers an additional hour of exclusive content such as celebrity evictees' first live interview, access to the camera runs, special guest commentary and fiery debates.
