Celebrity Big Brother

Celebrity Big Brother was originally created as a one-off series by Channel 4 but soon developed into a regular spin-off of Big Brother. It is generally shown in January. The series is based around a number of celebrities living in the Big Brother House, aiming to win a large cash prize to be donated to the winner’s nominated charity. To win the prize, the celebrities need to stay in the house and avoid being evicted by the public.
