Daily coverage on Channel 4 means viewers can keep up with events in the Big Brother house throughout the ten-day run. In brief:
* Viewers can watch live as the six celebrities enter the house
* There is an hour-long show from the house each day, including all the live evictions, nominations and tasks
* C4 hosts Big Brother’s Little Brother live at teatime each weekday
* All live shows to be hosted by Davina McCall.
Live Entry Show
This year a special live broadcast means that Channel 4 viewers can watch the six celebrities enter the Big Brother house and catch their very first moments together.
Weekdays
The nightly hour-long shows will feature a daily catch up on the latest action from the house during the past 24 hours but will also include all the live events such as live tasks, as well as the all-important evictions. In addition, this year the celebrities will be asked to announce their nominations live on air from the diary room. The celebrity housemates will have to make their first live nominations on Day 3 in the house. The first eviction will take place on the celebrities’ fifth day in the house, so viewers will be able to enjoy four full days of watching all of the celebrity housemates. From then on, there will be live evictions until the final. Davina McCall will host all the live weekday shows and of course will be the first to interview each newly-evicted celebrity.
The running order for the daily Channel 4 shows will be as follows:
Day 1 Live Entry Show
Day 2 House action from the past 24 hours (30 mins) and live task (30 mins)
Day 3 House action (30 mins) and live nominations (30 mins)
Day 4 House action (60 mins)
Day 5 House action and live eviction.

The fanzine show, Big Brother’s Little Brother, presented by Dermot O’Leary, will kick off events each weekday with a live early evening show, broadcast on both Channel 4 and E4. Regular Big Brother psychologists Geoffrey Beattie, Peter Collett and Sandra Scott will all be on hand to provide their views on how the famous faces are getting along, plus they’ll be a wealth of other experts, family and friends all airing their views.
