"Celebrity Big Brother" 2024 is back with more evictions, meltdowns and mind games. This season's famous housemates include Kate Middleton's uncle Gary Goldsmith and "Love Island" winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.

"CBB" 2024 is streaming now for FREE on ITVX in the U.K.. Traveling abroad? You can watch "Celebrity Big Brother" from anywhere with a VPN.

'Celebrity Big Brother' streaming details

"Celebrity Big Brother" (U.K.) premiered at 9 p.m. GMT on Monday, March 4 2024 on ITV1. It will air six nights a week from Sunday to Friday.
• FREE — ITV1 / ITVX (U.K.)
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN

"Celebrity Big Brother" disappeared from U.K. TV screens back in 2018 before being rebooted by ITV in 2024. The new format sees fans voting to save their favourite housemate rather than voting to evict.

Sharon Osbourne was first to enter the iconic Big Brother house, closely followed by her former co-"X-Factor" judge Louis Walsh. Other housemates include teen hearthrob Bradley Riches (James McEwan in Netflix's "Heartstopper"), reality star Lauren Simon  of "The Real Housewives of Cheshire", "Strictly Come Dancing" star Nikita Kuzmin and former "Dragon's Den" contestant and food entrepreneur Levi Roots. 

Thursday saw the first set of nominations, with the housemates choosing who they wanted to evict. Lauren received the most nominations with six, Zeze received five while David and Ekin-Su got three a piece. Fern, Levi and Louis all received two nominations and Bradley received one. Gary had already been the victim of Sharon's nomination so couldn't be voted for by the others. 

The combination of the group's vote and Sharon's vote means that Lauren and Gary are the ones up for eviction and and will see the public voting for who they wish to save. 

CBB comprises 17 episodes including two 90-minute live eviction specials every week, with the final set for Friday, March 22. Our guide explains where to watch "Celebrity Big Brother" 2024 from anywhere, and potentially for free.
