It has been revealed that the January series of Celebrity Big Brother will be one week shorter than usual, lasting 24 days instead of the previous 30. The information comes from a Sky Media guide, posted by Channel 5's sales department offering sponsorship deals: https://www.skymedia.co.uk/opportuni...y-big-brother/ It also confirms that there will be 60 minute shows everyday at 9pm, and one 90 minute live eviction every week. It has been rumoured that the January series could be an 'All-Stars' with celebrities from previous series re-entering the house. Names such as Stephen Bear, Katie Price, Katie Hopkins, Perez Hilton and Lee Ryan have been rumoured. It has also been speculated that the housemates could be made up of half All-Stars celebrities and half new celebrities. These were the previous winners of Celebrity Big Brother. 2001 - Jack Dee 2002 - Mark Owen 2005 - Bez 2006 - Chantelle Houghton 2007 - Shilpa Shetty 2009 - Ulrika Jonsson 2010 - Alex Reid 2011 - Paddy Doherty 2012 - Denise Welch 2012 - Julian Clary 2013 - Rylan Clark 2013 - Charlotte Crosby 2014 - Jim Davidson 2014 - Gary Busey 2015 - Katie Price 2015 - James Hill 2016 - Scotty T 2016 - Stephen Bear Who would you like to see in the series?

Would prefer this to 5 weeks tbh, but it will inevitably be extended

I feel it will go really quickly, and if they're doing an all stars I'd like it a little longer.

I laughed at a couple of points in that: Quote: - Viewed as the original and best reality show (vs competitors) with loyal followers who tune in year after year. - Even after all these years, Big Brother is still fresh Anyway, I'm not too fussed as to how long it runs for. I'm still not sure if I'll watch if it's 'Gold Stars vs New Stars' - it depends entirely on the cast.

Good. 30+ is far too long, keep it short

No less than 30 is ideal for me, but not sure it matters these days.

January seems to be full on all stats by the looks of things like the reports that came out today.

So the Jan one will have all of the crappy annoying ones and Summer will have some decent people I guess. Bear will obviously be in one but I'd rather Jan as it'd be shorter.

If anyone from the January series gets into the Summer one too I'll riot. Put the likes of Bear (if they really have to), Katie H and Austin in the January one, and save the big names (Tiff, Frenchy, Luisa) for Summer

I'm glad they've gone back to 3 weeks if this is true.

Is there a chance they could add on days if they it's a ratings success?

27 days max like CBB13 if it is ^ 30+ is too much imo. But no I hope they don't, especially given they cut BB17 short despite being successful (compared to BB15/16 anyway).

I liked a flat month tbf for classic CBB... but if they produce anything close to what they did last season, then 24 is more than ample.
