Series chronology |
This series was the first celebrity edition to launch under the new three-year contract that was announced in March 2015 which guaranteed the show remained on Channel 5 until 2018.[5]
With sixteen celebrities, this series had the most housemates since the show began in 2001. However this is now held by Celebrity Big Brother 19 with eighteen. With three voluntary exits from Angie Bowie, David Gest and Jonathan Cheban, this series equalled the record with series 5 in 2007, which also had three housemates walk from the house. On 5 February 2016, the series was won by Scotty T, with Stephanie Davis finishing as runner-up.
Production
Sponsorship
Celebrity Big Brother 17 had no sponsorship, making it the first series of either Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother not to have a sponsor since Celebrity Big Brother 1 in 2001.
House
A Channel 5 producer teased: "The famous house has undergone a major costume change, and housemates will be transported to a striking and theatrical setting which echoes the vaudeville theatres of a bygone era. The BB garden has been transformed into a Whitechapel style foggy street scene with a Victorian pub snug which will provide a hidden corner for sharing secrets and backstage backstabbing."[6] Pictures of the new house were revealed on 18 December.
The House remains structurally similar to the previous series, however the kitchen and living area have swapped positions. What's more, the House has an old-age feel, with a Victorian pub-style kitchen area and theatre curtains down the staircase.
Housemates
The official list of Housemates was confirmed on 5 January 2016.[7][8]

Notes
- ^Note 1 : As a consequence of a task Jeremy, Scotty T and Stephanie were solely responsible for deciding who should face the first eviction. On Day 4, it was revealed that Kristina received the most votes to save. Following this, Nancy and Winston were subject to a house vote on who should be evicted. Nancy received just one vote to evict (from Jeremy), whilst Winston received the remaining thirteen votes to evict.
- ^Note 2 : On Day 6, during a task, Tiffany won immunity from the next round of nominations and John was told he'd have to make his next nominations face-to-face.
- ^Note 3 : On Day 11, eviction survivors Angie, Gemma, Jeremy and Stephanie had to give one killer nomination each.
- ^Note 4 : These nominations were face-to-face. Everyone who received at least one nomination faced eviction.
- ^Note 5 : Big Brother announced that there would be no nominations this week, instead all housemates would automatically face eviction unless they earn immunity. Gemma, Stephanie and Darren won immunity and the remaining housemates faced the public vote.
- ^Note 6 : Only the "pure" housemates chosen by Gillian McKeith were required to give nominations.
- ^Note 7 : On Day 26, Stephanie was allowed to make a killer nomination due to all other housemates breaking rules regarding discussing nominations.
- ^Note 8 : This week the public were voting to win, rather than to save. Scotty won with 36.32% of the final vote, whilst Stephanie was runner-up with 26.57%. Darren was third with 17.85%, Tiffany was fourth with 9.93%, Danniella was fifth with 7.02% and John finished sixth with 2.33%, however none of these figures take into account the vote freezes between each position.[23]
