After not airing since 2018, Celebrity Big Brother UK is finally back on screens. If you’ve been waiting for the British reality television game show to return, you’re probably itching to find out how to watch Celebrity Big Brother UK in the US. Lucky for you, we’ve got all the details on how to stream the drama-packed show in the United States.
Celebrity Big Brother is a British reality television game show based on the Dutch show Big Brother, which John de Mol created in 1997. Celebrity Big Brother follows the same premise as Big Brother, except the entire cast is filled with celebrities. Everyone in the cast is known as a “housemate,” and they are all constantly monitored in the house by live television cameras and personal audio microphones. Each week, a contestant is voted out of the specially constructed house that they all live in together. The housemates are isolated from the outside world and the last contestant standing wins.
Unlike in Big Brother US, the public has voting power in Big Brother UK. Plus, ITV revealed in an Instagram post that in season 23, instead of fans voting on who to evict from the house, they will vote for their favorite housemate. Fans will essentially be voting for who to save, which will most certainly shake things up in the house.
So how can you join in on all 19 days (17 episodes) of the celeb drama and competition? Keep scrolling to learn how to watch Celebrity Big Brother UK in the US.
