Celebrity Big Brother 15 is the fifteenth series of the British reality television series Celebrity Big Brother. The series launched on 7 January 2015 on Channel 5 and will end after 31 days on 6 February 2015, making it the longest series in UK history. It is the eighth celebrity series and the twelfth series of Big Brother overall to air on the channel. Emma Willis returned to host the series, whilst Rylan Clark continued to present the spin-off show Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side alongside Willis. Repeats of this series aired on MTV, the first to do so. Willis decided to leave Big Brother's Bit on the Side, hosting her final show on 2 February 2015.

On 6 February 2015, Katie Price won the series, with Katie Hopkins finishing as the runner up. This was the first series of Celebrity Big Brother where both the runner-up and the winner were women. Price also became the first female housemate (and second overall after Brian Belo of Big Brother 8) on any series of Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother to win the series after entering late. Price entered the House nine days after the original fourteen housemates, and left 21 days later as the winner.

Pre-series

Logo

The official eye logo was revealed on 8 December 2014. The logo fits in with the series' 'twisted fairy tale' theme, with entangled branches and leaves making up the eye's shape.

Sponsorship

This series was sponsored by classified ad website Gumtree, with the company offering users of the site the chance to sell their items to furnish the House.

Bit on the Side scheduling

Big Brother's Bit on the Side only aired five days a week for the first time since it launched in 2011. Channel 5 opted not to renew the Saturday edition of Bit on the Psych and as a consequence Iain Lee did not return to the show in any capacity.

House

As one enters the House, the upper stair area is mirrored with flashes of trees. The stairs remain unchanged from the previous series. In the living area, grey sofas are in a square pattern, and a red mirror, significant to the series, is in the centre of the living area wall. The dining table is lipstick red, with fairy tale style props gracing the top. The kitchen is in a square corner with white marble counters and the latest appliances. The bedroom is dark and forest like, with a large owl watching over the housemates. The garden is largely unchanged, except for the redecorated pod and new hot tub with seating area. No pool is present. Back inside, the bathroom is very chic with a large black bathtub. The Diary Room is in the style of a spooky purple/blue forest. The chair itself is wolf fur, blending into the background.

Tasks

Days Lasted	Task	Reward	Result
Day 1 – Day 2	Katie H was given a secret mission to adopt a positive, happy attitude only delivering positive comments to her fellow housemates until further notice. As a part of her secret mission, Big Brother asked her to name the three housemates she found the least attractive. She chose Patsy, Perez, and Ken. Big Brother then asked Katie H to do a good deed and convince one of those three housemates to give a foot massage to. She chose Perez and passed her task. Her curse of kindness was then lifted.		Passed
Day 4	The housemates participated in the Once upon a Headline task. Ken and Michelle were given the task of matching up fairy tale themed headlines with the appropriate housemates. If they correctly matched every housemate, they would pass the task.	Cocktails	Passed
Day 5	The housemates participated in their first shopping task, Shopping Aid. They had to complete various tasks in order to raise money for a fictional Big Brother telethon. In order to earn money for their cause, housemates were required to continuously ride on an exercise bike. Later, they produced a music video for a charity single, led by Alexander and Kavana.	Luxury Shopping Budget	Passed
Day 8	Queen Cami Li and King Perez were tasked with choosing which two of their fellow housemates were the most entertaining. The housemates had five minutes each to perform their talents in front of the House.	Immunity	Keith, Nadia
Day 12	The housemates were given their second shopping task where they all became Cadets. Katie H was appointed Cadet Leader, and had to aid the other housemates into collecting badges. If they collected enough badges by the end of the task they would receive a luxury shopping budget. Throughout the task, the Cadets had to refer to Katie H as "Red Pigeon". Their challenges included Nadia cleaning the bath with a toothbrush, Perez sitting on the naughty step, and the housemates being brutally honest with each other.	Luxury Shopping Budget	Passed
Day 14	Patsy was asked to lead a meditation class to four of her fellow housemates. She chose Alicia, Calum, Cami Li and Keith.		Passed
Day 15	Katie H, Michelle, Nadia and Perez were asked to lead a debate. Big Brother gave them a number of topics to discuss between.		Passed
Day 18	The housemates took part in their third shopping task where the House had been hacked, and it was the housemate's responsibility to piece together and identify who said what about whom. They also had to correctly match answers voted for by the public for various categories, such as the most entertaining or most two faced housemate. Next they were shown clips of the housemates talking about each other and had to answer questions correctly on what they had just seen.	Luxury Shopping Budget	Passed
Day 24	Whilst the public rated the housemates in a number of categories, the housemates had to correctly guess the order they had been placed in. On Calum's team was Keith, Michelle and Nadia, and on Kavana's team was Cami Li, Katie H, Katie P and Perez. Each team took it in turns to place the gym balls with the housemate's faces on in the correct order from most to least from the category given.		Calum, Keith, Michelle, Nadia
Day 25	The housemates took part in their next shopping task, Big Brother's Freak Show. Katie H and Katie P became the two-headed Katie and had to correctly guess what the other housemate's had answered from questions asked to them earlier. Michelle became Mystic Michelle and had to give the housemate's honest advice from their time in the House. Kavana became the singing dummy and had to sing negative tweets about himself whilst smiling, and Calum, Cami Li and Perez became the three little pigs and had to eat three disgusting dishes.	Luxury Shopping Budget	Passed
Day 26	The housemates were given the chance to win letters from home. Michelle and Katie H went up against Perez and Katie P in separate rooms and were given a button each. If they pushed the button, their opponents letters would be destroyed and they would receive their own.

Notes

• Note 1: On Day 1, shortly after entering the House, Katie H was given a secret mission by "The Enchanted Mirror". She had to select two of her fellow housemates who she thought was the least entertaining. Unbeknownst to her, they would then automatically face the first eviction. She chose Alexander and Chloe. On Day 3, housemates nominated face to face, with each housemate nominating only one person as opposed to the usual two. Following Ken's ejection on Day 6, the live eviction scheduled to take place on Day 7 was cancelled.
• Note 2: On Day 7, following a twist, Cami Li was made Queen of the Fairies and was told she was immune from the next eviction and that she'd be able to give immunity to other housemates. That night, she selected Perez as King of the Fairies, granting him immunity. On Day 8, they chose to give immunity to Keith and Nadia through a task. The same day, Cami Li and Perez were asked to cast a nomination curse on four of the remaining housemates. These four housemates would face eviction on Day 10. Perez chose Chloe and Michelle, while Cami Li chose Alexander and Alicia.
• Note 3: Alicia, Katie H, Nadia, and Perez were initially nominated for an eviction due to take place on Day 14, but it was postponed to Day 17, due to Alexander's voluntary departure. As Alexander walked during the nomination process, all nominations for him became invalid and any housemates who nominated him had to later choose a replacement nominee. Keith and Nadia originally nominated Alexander but replaced their nominations with Kavana and Michelle, respectively. While Katie P was not able to be nominated as she was a new housemate, as part of the live twist that replaced Day 14's planned eviction, she had to save one nominated housemate and replace them with another who she thought was the least entertaining. She saved Katie H and replaced her with Calum, claiming that she assumed he would be saved by the public.
• Note 4: Shortly before nominations took place Perez staged a fake walk out and moved in to a secret room. As Perez was living in the secret room he was not able to be nominated, however, he was able to cast one tie-breaker nomination vote to either Cami Li, Katie P and Kavana as they had received one vote each. He chose Cami Li.
• Note 5: Shortly after Patsy's eviction on Day 21, Perez returned to the House and viewers had been voting via the official app since Day 20 on whether he should "be given a pass to the final" or "eternally nominated". It was revealed that he would be eternally nominated for every eviction for the rest of the series. On Day 22, housemates nominated face-to-face.
• Note 6: The public voted for who they wanted to save during the live show on Day 27.
• Note 7: Following Cami Li's eviction the public were voting for who they wanted to win rather than to save, and the two housemate with the fewest votes will be evicted in a surprise double eviction on Day 29. The voting lines will then reopen for the remaining housemates until the final.
