When does it start?

Any idea when celebrity big brother starts? Is it normally 3 days after the bb finale? Someone let me know ASAP!

Considering BB16 is finishing in mid-July. I can't see them starting CBB straight after. I think the 3-4 week break rumours are true.
I think they want another 4 week CBB, so I'm presuming they will want things wrapped up by the first week of September, by the latest.

I'm going with a 5-7th August Launch, for CBB16.
