The start date for the new series of Celebrity Big Brother is now Wednesday 7th January at 9 PM according to Channel 5. Apparently the reason for the move from January 5th is to avoid a clash with the new series of ITV's drama Broadchurch. The new Celebrity Big Brother is supposed to have a 'twisted fairytale' theme. The eye logo was released on December 8th.

That was last minute. Did they only just decide on an airdate for Broadchurch?

It's a good move really, but it's the latest that Celebrity Big Brother has ever started in January.
