Celebrity Big Brother attracted its biggest audience in more than a decade when it launched on ITV earlier this month, with 3.8 million viewers across all platforms.
The show has since been streamed more than 14 million times on ITVX and its spin-off program Late & Live was the top performing title for ITV2 every night.
Stars from the series including former X Factor judges Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh, Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Strictly professional dancer Nikita Kuzmin and ex-This Morning presenter Fern Britton contributed to the show’s popularity.
From A-list anecdotes and savage put-downs, tears and tantrums and cutthroat face-to-face eliminations, CBB producers brought the drama and signed the likes of Sharon, who reportedly earned six figures a day to play the ‘celebrity tenant’ of the show, which was definitely paid off.
