 Celebrity Big Brother 2024 has crowned a new winner. 

Following the success of Big Brother UK 2023 on ITVX and ITV2, a new set of celebs moved into the Big Brother house for a fresh version of the spin-off.

As before, our new set of celebrities left their glitzy homes behind and were locked inside the house (which was given a bit of a facelift ahead of their arrival). Inside, they stayed under the watchful eye of Big Brother and took part in all the usual Big Brother staples like challenges and nominations... 

The series has now come to an end; here's what you need to know about Celebrity Big Brother 2024.
