[Vanessa]

Yes, March. Not long to go now.

[jones89]

Not even 3 weeks long? I wonder how many hoisemates we getting then? Good to have a date though

[Strictly Jake]

Just over 2 weeks long. Why? That's gonna feel rushed then

Yes
that saves ITV money

[arista]

Possibly

[Ammi]

…so the eye logo will be the same one used for the civilian BB, only with a star in the centre for the celebrities….

Two weeks?! C'mon ITV. We need some more traditional length series.

[Josiah.]

Some of you seem to forget that most of the C4 era of CBB went roughly 2 1/2 to 3 weeks, so don't start complaining about the length now.

[Ammi]

…I don’t know if it’ll feel not long enough because it’ll depend on the vibe and format etc when it’s aired…so I’m just going to go with the flow and see how it goes when it’s on…its two and a half weeks more CBB than we’ve had for many years so let’s analyse and scrutinise and post the heck out of those celebrities while they’re in there…we can stretch those two and a half weeks to feel like a CBB lifetime for them…:laugh:…

[Ammi]

…so exciting to have it back…I’m generally not so into the celebrity version but I’ll take any BB morsels and scraps I can get atm…

I love CBB. Remember Verne and Cooolio. Those two were hilarious, god bless them.

[bots]

far more people will commit to watching a short duration show than a long one, so i think this is a smart move

"It’ll be the very first time anyone gets to see our celebrity Housemates"

Can't be very big celebrities if no one has ever seen them before

Yeah sometimes it can feel drawn out .

[Vanessa]

Anyone managed to work out who they are? I just want to know :amazed:

[Ammi]

…I’ll look at them more closely today but if the rumours are true then I would say the first one in green is Faryal Makhdoom….?…

[Ammi]

…there are quite a few celebrities who have a Pomeranian dog, they’re a popular breed ….I’ll take a little guess at either Kelly Osbourne or Molly May Hague…Ekin Su was rumoured to go in though, wasn’t she…

[Ammi]

…maybe it’s the celebrity dog that’s going in as a housemate and Kaz can start the fan club…

[jones89]

Wait. So the people in the ad are the celebs? Would they really film them in an advert out in public if they’re trying to keep them secret?

[OLLIE97]

No. It will be actors.

[Vanessa]

Does Ekin su have a dog? Yes, she's been rumoured to go in.

[arista]

ITV1HD could on your title

[Zizu]

Do we know any definite names yet ??

…I’m not sure she does, Vanessa…I hadn’t even realised that she and David weren’t a couple anymore, Celebrity news/gossip and general info is not really my thing tbh…but I do love them in the house…

[BBDodge]

No. It will be actors.

Quite. There are no clues to be had there.

We know nothing.

[Cherie]

I think even if they aren't the celebs per se in the advert there are clues to their identities....one with the briefcase could be former Apprentice for example?

[Vanessa]

Yes that's what I thought :blush:

[Crimson Dynamo]

It will just be normal people who have at any time been briefly on tv so it will be no different to the civilian series

hopefully this time they will pick people who are engaging and not box tick dullards and racists

Yes that's what I thought :blush:

….im going to think about it as The Masked Housemate with the clues…who are handbag and shopping bag girls…?…who is orange blanket, who is Pomeranian dog and who is lamp post man…I think there might be an umbrella man/woman in there as well…I can’t recall them all …I’m pretty sure we’ll have guessed them all by launch night…those clues can run but they can’t hide from us…

[Ammi]

…I read that Harry from Traitors was approached to be a housemate but he said no…/…I don’t know if that’s true…

[Ammi]

…so the person in the promo vid behind the tree trunk, I think represents Levi Roots …/tree roots, obviously and Levi is rumoured to go in…the one with the umbrella I think is a Philip Schofield clue because he’s probably done lots of umbrella segments on This Morning over time…plus he’s gone through a bit of a rainy time in his career and life…the ‘no photos please’ and ‘cheers’ couple is obviously Harry and Meghan…the lady in the back of the car is Shirley Ballas…not sure what the car clue is, I’m still working that one out…the one under the orange blanket could be Donald Trump, but I don’t think it is…

[jones89]

…I read that Harry from Traitors was approached to be a housemate but he said no…/…I don’t know if that’s true…

Ohh he would have said yes for sure. He’d show up for the opening of an envelope

[Ammi]

Ohh he would have said yes for sure. He’d show up for the opening of an envelope

…the other Traitor person that was rumoured is Diane but she’s apparently chosen Masterchef instead…:laugh:…what in earth is she thinking, she could have come to us for CBB and let everyone else in the house do the cooking for her…

Yeah, atleast Diana had a bit of a personality, she’d have been good in the house

[BBDodge]

"Finally almost".

So not quite then.

Yes Good
4 days to relax in there
or have a breakdown,
and as the 1st eviction is
on the Friday

As the whole show is shorter

[Maru]

I would rather it be shorter than not have it at all. For whatever reason, not as excited for this (yet maybe) as I was for civvy and I usually enjoy CBB quite a bit for the characters.

[Gusto Brunt]

Just over 2 weeks long. Why? That's gonna feel rushed then

Seems pointless.

It only gets really going 10 days in and then we have four days left.:shrug:

[Ammi]

…oh CBB section is now at the top of the page perched and ready for launch…/…thank you, James…:flutter:…

[Ammi]

…AJ and Will are on This Morning on Friday….I guess that This Morning will have a huge interest in giving it time slots this series if it has two of their ex ‘faces of…’ in the house…

[arista]

Yes House
needs to back to basics

Would be Fun.

Give them a 6 Toaster


Also give them 4 Air Fryers

Legit Product Placement

Yes, end of the week
I assume.

[Strictly Jake]

I may be mistaken but before the civilian launched last year we didn't get anything until the day of the segment about it on this morning, As AJ and Will are on the sofa on Friday I reckon we will see house pictures then. However I can't imagine it being that much different then it was last year, in the days of sustainability now they will try and use as much from last time as they can but maybe give them different paint colours

[arista]

GMBHD itv
at 7:45AM reporter ran through the house

Only One bedroom

in this photo

[Ammi]

…it’s all of those who are reported to be full time housemates, isn’t it…?…Sharon is being reported as just going in for a guest stay…

Yes

[Ammi]

…is that not Chloe Burrows btw, at the bottom…?…I haven’t seen that she was reported as a ‘confirmed’ but that looks like her…she and Ekin Su will be a strong friendship/alliance, I think…

[Ammi]

https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/26200790/celebrity-big-brother-chloe-burrows-breaks-silence/

…I don’t think she is going to be a housemate so far as I can see…but that’s definitely her pic that has been used in that media pic….this is the same image….


https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/25349408/chloe-burrows-romance-love-island-australia-all-stars/

…I’m not sure why she’s there but I don’t think that the pic above hers is accurate either….is that not Jenifer Acuri, the lady that was rumoured to have had an affair with Boris…?..she isn’t going in either so far as I know…

…anyway, looking forward to the launch, not long to find out for sure…

[Ammi]

…I don’t feel as though there’s very much flurry of activity of season posters around the build up of CBB …I hope that changes with the launch later…but it’s felt a bit quiet so far…

To be fair there's not much to be excited for. I know 3 of the celebs (1 only barely), the house looks exactly the same (even more so than usual for CBB), and its only on for 2 1/2 weeks.

[AnnieK]

I'm looking forward to it

its the most unanticipated CBB in living memory

Another reason why I won't attempt to stay up and watch it 'live'.

If it is live. :p

[MTVN]

Yeah there's not a lot of buzz for the reasons mentioned above. I'm away for just over a week from Friday as well so won't be able to follow it otherwise I'd be a little more invested

You never know how a series will go though so fingers crossed it captures everyone's attention and produces some good moments and housemates

[Strictly Jake]

I can't wait!! But yeah the forum is strangely quiet.

[rusticgal]

I can't wait!! But yeah the forum is strangely quiet.



I dont think it will be after tonight..

I had it on in the background, barely paying any attention, and still it somehow managed to bore me.
