This year's Celebrity Big Brother will run for longer than any previous series.
The show begins tomorrow (Thursday) and will finish on Friday, January 27, giving a duration of 23 days in total. The number is almost a week longer than last year's 18-day span and almost three times as long as the first incarnation in 2001.
The number of celebrities entering the house will also be larger than ever before - ten, up from last year's initial eight.
"The lineup of celebrities this year speaks for itself," said Angela Jain, commissioning editor at Channel 4. "It's definitely one of the strongest ever. Seeing them live together under such close scrutiny should make illuminating and entertaining viewing."
