ITV confirms Celebrity Big Brother launch date as it returns to our screens after six years

After months of speculation, ITV has finally confirmed when Celebrity Big Brother will be returning to our screens after six years.

Taking to Instagram today, the broadcaster - who relaunched the non-celebrity version of the show last year - made the exciting announcement to fans.

In the video, hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best discuss the incoming series, which will see a fresh batch of famous faces entering the iconic Big Brother house.

The selection of stars will then embark on the ultimate social experiment that we know and love, and become isolated from the outside world for several weeks.

ITV producers said in a press statement: "Leaving luxury behind, the celebrities will take part in nominations and tough tasks with cameras capturing their every move.

"Who will win the hearts of the nation, go all the way to the finish line and be crowned the winner?"

This year's contestants are yet to be revealed.

Celebrity Big Brother will air from Monday, 4 March.
