Celebrity Big Brother finale date confirmed – with ITV crowning winner in just weeks
CELEBRITY Big Brother recently made a whirlwind comeback after six years off screens, and the season finale date has already been confirmed.
Out of the thirteen big names in the house, only one will be crowned the public's winner.
And ITV bosses have shared that the big reveal will take place live on Friday, March 22.
As always, there will be plenty of competition for the crown, with some UK favourites such as Love Island winner Ekin-Su and Strictly Come Dancing heartthrob Nikita Kuzmin gracing the plush pad with their presence.
When the show was broadcast on Channel 4 and Channel 5 celebs did not personally receive any prize money, with the cash pot going to a charity the winner chose instead.
However, household names are known to earn a pretty penny from just participating in the reality show.

The Sun previously reported that X Factor star Louis Walsh is said to have landed himself a bumper six-figure deal to enter the CBB house.
Insiders also said that Kate Middleton's uncle, Gary Goldsmith, negotiated a hefty contract with show bosses.
AJ Odudu and Will Best have stepped up to host the series after making their debut as Big Brother presenters in October 2023.
A source told The Sun of their return for the celebrity version: "There was huge pressure on AJ and Will’s shoulders when they launched ITV’s reboot of Big Brother but they’ve absolutely risen to it.
"Both had experience but this felt like a really big job and there were whispers ITV might’ve been better choosing a pair of safe hands like Big Brother legends Davina McCall or Rylan Clark.
"Will especially hadn’t been on a proper prime-time production for a good few years, but it’s already hard to imagine the show without them."
