Meet the Celebrity Big Brother 2025 housemates!
The wait is finally over — Celebrity Big Brother is back, with AJ Odudu and Will Best returning as hosts for the highly anticipated new series on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
This season, 13 brand-new celebrity housemates are stepping into the iconic Big Brother house — now relocated to a fresh, purpose-built setting — to take part in the original celebrity social experiment. With high-stakes tasks, dramatic nominations, and no shortage of behind-the-scenes gossip, viewers can expect a rollercoaster of entertainment as this eclectic mix of famous faces navigate life under constant surveillance.
