How To Watch Celebrity Big Brother UK 2025 Online
Watch Celebrity Big Brother UK 2025: Preview
The VIP edition of Big Brother is back with an almost daily dose of unmissable entertainment. Fashion-forward hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best will welcome a new group of celebs to the house, who’ll live, sleep, nominate, and spill the tea all while under the omnipresent eye of Big Brother. Often surprising, always compelling, we explain below how to watch Celebrity Big Brother UK 2025 online and stream every episode free on ITVX from anywhere.
Five years after Channel 5 dropped the iconic reality series from its lineup – coincidentally, now celebrating its 25th anniversary – ITV acquired the rights to the format and brought it back to life. Since then, the rebooted show and its celebrity spin-off have garnered impressive viewing figures for the network. In less than two years, it’s claimed that the rebranded franchise has collectively been streamed over 100 million times.
This star-studded special edition offers the same addictive antics as the civilian iteration, as a group of relative strangers are isolated together from the outside world, where cameras and microphones capture their every mumbled word and action. There’s the same candid, Diary Room confessionals, repeat rulebreakers named-and-shamed around the sofas (*Cough cough* Louis Walsh *Cough*), petty squabbles, unlikely friendships, and weekly nominations as housemates each pick two VIPs (Very Irritating People) to potentially face the public vote and a live eviction, with the remaining housemate crowned the winner.
Of course, Celebrity Big Brother promises the clash of even bigger egos, and the chance for a behind-the-scenes peak into the real lives of a range of media personalities – politicians, TV stars, musicians, sporting legends – eager to divulge stories of their time in the spotlight.
ITV’s inaugural season included The X Factor’s Sharon Osbourne, reggae musician Levi Roots, and Love Island legend Ekin-Su, and ended with the Bolton-born David Potts being named the series champion. But which well-known media personalities will descend on the Big Brother house this year? It’s been revealed Season 4 winner of Drag Race UK Danny Beard will enter the house alongside Love Islander Chris Hughes. Bringing the drama will be Soap actress Patsy Palmer. It wouldn’t be a British reality competition with an MP either, with Conservative politician Michael Fabricant the oldest ‘celebrity’ to enter the Big Brother house this season.
Something for the Americans, Dance Moms and TikTok star JoJo Siwa will be joined by professional boxer and actor Mickey Rourke.
Stream the hit show now with our guide, detailing how to watch Celebrity Big Brother UK 2025 and catch daily episodes 100% free online and from anywhere in the world.

How to watch Celebrity Big Brother UK from anywhere
If you’re a UK citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch Celebrity Big Brother UK online just as you would at home.
While ITVX is for licence fee-paying Brits and blocks access from IP addresses outside of the UK, there’s a handy piece of software called a VPN, which can change your IP address, allowing you to watch UK TV online by making it look like you’re accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, UK citizens in the States can subscribe to a VPN, join a UK based server and tune into all the programmes on ITVX from anywhere in the world, just like you would back home.
How to use a VPN to unblock streaming services:
1. Choose your ideal VPN and install – our go-to recommendation for unblocking is NordVPN, costing from $3.99 a month with its 2-year plan
2. Connect to a server – for ITVX, for example, you’ll want to connect to a server based in the UK
3. Go to the stream you wish to access – for Celebrity Big Brother, head to ITVX.
Can I watch Celebrity Big Brother UK 2025 in the US, Canada, or Australia?
Unfortunately for franchise fans abroad, and jet-setting UK citizens, Celebrity Big Brother UK 2025 isn’t licensed to watch abroad. The spin-off is only available to watch exclusively on ITV and ITVX in the UK.
Despite the main show continuing to be a hit in these countries, the Celebrity edition hasn’t had much luck abroad. It’s been broadcast just a handful of times in the US, with even fewer iterations of the VIP edition in Australia and Canada.
A UK resident currently out of the country? You can always port yourself back home and watch concurrent with the UK using a VPN.
