ITV brought Big Brother back in 2023, five years after the previous revival had been cancelled by Channel 5. It included the return of Celebrity Big Brother last year - with a very memorable series.

The star-studded spin-off is back for a new season on the broadcaster and it starts today (April 7). Like previous iterations, it will kick-off with a live launch episode that will reveal the cast.

It is scheduled to begin at 9pm tonight and will run for approximately 90 minutes, including ad-breaks. CBB will end at around 10.30pm and be followed by the nightly news.
