BBUK welcomes back the Celebs

UPDATED: Celebrity Big Brother returns Jan 2nd

UPDATE: C4 has confirmed Celebrity Big Brother 6 will launch on Friday 2nd January 2009, with Davina at the helm to usher the “celebs” into their January home. BBLB and Big Mouth have been reprieved too, with George Lamb returning to front Big Brother’s Little Brother while Jack Whitehall takes over Big Brother’s Big Mouth.

After an argument about an OXO cube ended up as an International race row two years ago, the future didn’t look too good for Celebrity Big Brother in the UK, but after a break this year the series will return to UK screens (and computers world wide) in January, running for three weeks with Davina McCall back at the helm.

However the future of BBUK’s spin-off shows remains unclear, with indications that both Little Brother and Big Mouth will be axed to make way for one new combined spin-off called Big Brother’s Big Eye.
