Launch date/first week schedule confirmed.

Quote:

Channel 5 has today announced that Celebrity Big Brother 2016 will kick off with a live launch at 9.00pm on Tuesday 5th January.

The two-hour opener will be followed by spin-off show Bit On The Side at 11.00pm, when Rylan Clark-Neal will chew over the action with the help of his audience and studio panel.

Bosses are treating fans to two hours of post-launch live feed – at midnight on Channel 5 and 1.00am on 5* – giving us a chance to see raw footage of the housemates’ first night. It was confirmed earlier this week that live streaming will air every weekday throughout the new series.

Wednesday 6th January and Thursday 7th January follow the same schedule, with the highlights show at 9.00pm on C5 and BOTS at 11.00pm – although the latter will air on 5* on the Wednesday due to sport coverage. Both nights have live feed at midnight on 5*.

The first eviction takes place in two shows at 9.00pm and 10.30pm on Friday 8th January on C5.

They are separated by the premiere of Lip Sync Battle UK at 10.00pm. Hosted by ex-Spice Girl and X Factor judge Mel B and rapper Professor Green, it is the broadcaster’s version of the hit US format and its biggest entertainment launch since it acquired Big Brother in 2011.

BOTS follows at 11.05pm, with live feed again at midnight on 5*.

On Monday bosses released the theatrical new Celebrity Big Brother eye logo and teased that the matching house has “gritty undertones” that could conceal surprises for the housemates.

Rumoured participants include I’m A Celebrity’s Lady Colin Campbell, rapper Vanilla Ice, Kourtney Kardashian’s boyfriend Scott Disick and Strictly Come Dancing pro Ola Jordan.

Oh no I'm fine with it lol. Glad it's launching earlier than last year.

I just prefer Thursday/Friday launches.

Brilliant! i can go! :cheer2:

Ugh a Tuesday launch much prefer Wednesday or Thursday :(

Not CBB17 launching exactly 10 years after CBB4. And more importantly on my birthday.

But honestly, I would've preferred a Wednesday 6th January launch. Not too keen on Monday and Tuesday launches. But C5 will never learn so, we'll have to deal with it.

Hate Tuesday launches.

In 26 days then.

I don't mind Tuesday launches as long as the first eviction is on Day 8 (Tuesday 12th) instead of Day 4 (Friday 8th)

I think the last time they did it (Tamara in BB15) they just pre-recorded her exit and interview but I'm not sure.
