Not only have fans been raving about Celebrity Big Brother 2014, but it’s also been a hit with the press. Here bbspy rounds up what critics and writers have said about the series…

Cast your mind back four weeks, when the festive period had just ended and we all began gearing up for the return of Celebrity Big Brother.

With rumours circulating that the likes of Jasmine Waltz, Ollie Locke and, er, Liz Jones were set to enter the house, it’s fair to say that not many people had particularly great expectations for the show’s thirteenth series.

But boy, were we wrong. The latest line-up of famous housemates turned out to be an almost perfect mix of personalities – and after 27 days packed with arguments, drama, cheeky twists, clever tasks and *that* love triangle, Celebrity Big Brother 2014 has gone down in the history books as one of the best series ever.

Viewers haven’t been able to get enough of the action, with Channel 5 extending the run five days thanks to steadily increasing ratings – Lee Ryan’s eviction on Sunday was the first non-final or launch episode of Big Brother to hit the 3million mark since 2011.

But surprisingly, neither has the press. Since C5 acquired the rights to the show, media coverage has remained at a fairly flat level – but now literally everyone seems to be talking about it again.

The increased interest has even led to this CBB generating the main front page stories of at least two issues of The Sun this month, for the first time in ages – no mean feat given that one of its rivals, The Daily Star, is owned by C5 boss Richard Desmond.

So, as we prepare to bid farewell to a classic Celebrity Big Brother – the final airs tonight at 9.00pm – here we round up some of the compliments critics and writers have dished out.
