Celebrity Big Brother (British TV series) series 20
Celebrity Big Brother 20 is the twentieth series of the British reality show Celebrity Big Brother. It was hosted by Emma Willis and narrated by Marcus Bentley. The series aired on Channel 5 in the UK and 3e in Ireland, from 1 August to 25 August 2017, lasting 25 days (the shortest since 2013). The spin-off show Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side was hosted by Rylan Clark-Neal.
On the launch night, Emma Willis announced that the winner would receive £50,000 for a charity of their choice—the first prize fund for a celebrity series since 2005. Fifteen celebrities entered the Big Brother house on Day 1. The show’s house had two bedrooms, the Forest Suite and the Blossom Suite, and kept a look similar to the last civilian season.
