When it was announced that Big Brother was returning to our screens late last year we immediately began praying to the reality TV gods that the celeb version would also be revived.
It turns out all that manifesting worked wonders because Celebrity Big Brother WILL be returning next month (Monday 4 March at 9pm on ITV1).
ITV confirmed the return of CBB back in November 2023 and shared an Instagram post featuring the iconic star-filled eye with the following caption taunting celebs, "Celebrities… Big Brother is coming to get you 👁️.
"Coming 2024 to ITV1 and ITVX."
We all had our doubts when it was confirmed that the civilian Big Brother would be returning. Not only was it sans Davina McCall or Emma Wills but after airing on Channel 4 as well as Channel 5, the OG reality TV series was under new management with ITV and we just didn't want it to have the Love Island treatment and be brimming with influencers.
But, as it turns out, we needn't have worried as although Kerry Riches was a contestant on Deal or No Deal and Farida Khalifa featured on an episode of Come Dine with Me, all in all, the housemates were a mix of regular (iconic) people.
Seeing as they absolutely nailed the civilian BB we now have high hopes for the upcoming celeb spin-off.

When the news hit social media, obviously the whole world and his wife jumped online to share their thoughts on the return of the much-loved series. ITV is yet to confirm who will be taking part in Celebrity Big Brother in March 2024, but that doesn't stop the rumour mill from swirling.
