Template:Big Brother housemates Celebrity Big Brother 13 is the thirteenth series of the British reality television series Celebrity Big Brother. It will launch on 3 January 2014 on Channel 5.[1] It will be the sixth celebrity series and the ninth series of Big Brother overall to air on the channel. The series was officially confirmed on 3 April 2012 when Channel 5 renewed the show until 2014.[2] Emma Willis has returned to host the series.[3]

Pre-series

The official new eye logo for the series was released on 27 November 2013. The centre of the eye has turned into one of the many cameras which are located around the house.[4]

Presenters

Emma Willis will return to present the main show for her second celebrity series, as well as selected episodes of Big Brother's Bit on the Side. Rylan Clark will also return to present Bit on the Side, but his co-host and Big Brother's Bit on the Psych host AJ Odudu will not return.[5] Clark will instead host Bit on the Psych alongside Iain Lee, who was previously a regular panellist on the show. Celebrity Big Brother 12 housemate and former Loose Women panellist Carol McGiffin will also join the show as head panellist.[6]

Bit on the Side scheduling

For the first time since it launched in 2011, spin-off show Big Brother's Bit on the Side will only air six days a week, with Channel 5 opting not to renew the Sunday edition, which last year ran in a lunch-time time slot and was hosted by Clark.[7] Bit on the Side will now air Monday to Friday with Bit on the Psych remaining on Saturdays.

House

The official house pictures were released on 16 December 2013.[8] The theme for the series is 'Rich and Regal' and features the same layout as Big Brother 14 and Celebrity Big Brother 12 with minor changes. The house has a high class upgrade featuring a grand fireplace and opulent surroundings along with the small hot tub used last series.

Sponsorship

As with Celebrity Big Brother 12, the series will be sponsored by SuperCasino.
