ITV has reportedly confirmed that Celebrity Big Brother will be returning to ITV1 and ITVX next spring for a brand new series. 

The show will once again run over three weeks and will air between April and May in 2025. 

Earlier this year, Celebrity Big Brother's launch episode attracted the biggest audience in over a decade with 3.8m viewers tuning in, seven-day consolidated figures show. 

Hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best, the reality show sees a cast of famous faces enter the iconic Big Brother house, where they embark on the ultimate social experiment by becoming isolated from the outside world.

Leaving luxury behind, the celebrities will take part in nominations and tough tasks with cameras capturing their every move.

A source previously told The Sun: 'Bosses have been thrilled with how CBB has performed.'

'They were already looking forward to series two of the civilian series in the autumn and have now added a second series of the CBB to the pot.'

'The number of viewers watching live has sat solidly above 1million all series which is meaty for a daily show at 9pm...'

MailOnline has contacted ITV representatives for comment. 

It comes after Big Brother ratings slumped to their lowest ever viewership on launch night earlier this month. 

For the highly anticipated return of the UK's first social experiment, only 825,000 people tuned into ITV to watch the live premiere.

The ratings represented less than half of last year's simulcast launch.

But it was not all bad news, as 25 percent of those viewers were aged 16-34, in line with ITV2's airing last year.

While it may be the lowest-ever opener in terms of numbers, it is on par with last year's overnight series average.

It's a far cry from the 2.5 million viewers the first episode attracted last year, but that was also simulcast across ITV1.

The 2024 opener was exclusive to ITV2 and ITVX and was not broadcast across ITV1.

People watching on ITVX or on catch-up were not included in the viewership numbers, only those who watched live were considered for the count.
