The official house pictures were released on 16 December 2013.

The house has a high class upgrade featuring a grand fireplace and opulent surroundings along with the small hot tub used last series.[8]
Sponsorship
As with Celebrity Big Brother 12, the series will be sponsored by SuperCasino.
Launch night twist
On Day 1, Jim and Linda became the first handcuffed couple to enter the house.
