Is anyone else having serious Big Brother withdrawal symptoms? Honestly, as much as we're loving us some I'm A Celeb right now, there's a big hole in our soul that can only be filled by a giant, menacing, ever-changing eye coupled with that iconic, equally-menacing music.

And, honestly, Big Brother 2024 had no place slapping as hard as it did. We genuinely lost friends this autumn for refusing to socialise over the six weeks it was on our screens.

Real friends would've understood. Just saying. Real friends like these...

Anyway, in conclusion, Celebrity Big Brother round two can't come quick enough. Although, saying that we've got Christmas, Love Island: All Stars 2 and The Traitors series 3 before it's back so maybe it's coming at just the right time. We're rambling - but here's to losing more friends in 2025.

After a successful relaunch with the likes of Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu becoming housemates in 2023, CBB is officially back in early spring 2025 (we're guessing March again) and the celebrity rumour mill has already started spinning. And if this one's true... we know for certain there's a reality telly deity out there watching over us.

According to reports, Married At First Sight UK 2023 legend Ella Morgan is in early talks to appear on the second series of the ITV reality show, and if you watched her on MAFS, you'll appreciate how BIG this is. The TV queen is effortlessly unfiltered telly gold and will no doubt bring endless energy and drama to the Big Brother house if the rumours are true. OMG, no, the nominations...

A source told The Sun, 'Ella Morgan has had a meeting with ITV producers about appearing in the next series of Celebrity Big Brother.

'It’s just early talks at this stage but Ella is really up for it and bosses were impressed by her.'

OF COURSE THEY WERE.

Here's everything we know about the next series of Big Brother, although, frankly, this Ella tea is enough...

Will there be a Celebrity Big Brother in 2025?

All we know right now is that the series is set to return in 'spring 2025'. But, given that the first series kicked off on 4 March 2024, we'd say cancel all plans for six weeks from the start of March 2025.

Who will be on Celebrity Big Brother 2025?

So far the only name rumoured is MAFS UK star Ella Morgan.

We also know for a fact that Diane Carson from The Traitors probably won't be walking through doors...

We're out.

Who won Celebrity Big Brother in 2024?

The first Celebrity Big Brother (well, the ITV reboot) was deservedly won by Ibiza Weekender legend, David Potts.

How can I watch Celebrity Big Brother?

When it returns to our lives, you can catch CBB on ITV, ITVX and STV. Yep, celebs get upgraded from ITV2 to ITV 'cause celebs...

Who will host Celebrity Big Brother?

AJ Odudu and Will Best are set to return to hosting duties in the spring.
