00:00 After six years without it, Celebrity Big Brother returned to our screens on Sunday
00:05 night. It was relaunched through a live show where millions of people tuned in where it
00:10 was announced who would be taking part as housemates this year. Graduate of UCLan, Ekin
00:16 Sue, who won Love Island in 2022, was amongst those such as Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne
00:22 who also entered the house. Today, I went to Preston to University Campus to ask students
00:29 whether they thought Celebrity Big Brother was still relevant, whether they tuned in
00:33 and got a glimpse of who the favourites were so far.
00:37 Have you watched Celebrity Big Brother? I have, yes. Do you like it? Absolutely not.
00:42 Why not? I don't like how there's too many celebrities. I don't like the whole point
00:46 of there being celebrities. Genuine, normal people give better reactions because celebrities
00:52 know they're on camera, they know how to be on camera. I think genuine, normal people
00:57 are much better for the job. If you could have any celebrity in Big Brother, who would
01:01 you pick? Piers Morgan. Why? Because he's controversial, they create a lot of good TV
01:05 and a lot of drama, get a lot of views. Would you watch that if he was in it? Probably not.
01:10 Stevie Wonder. Why? Different. Celebrity Big Brother? Yeah, Celebrity, it's a really good
01:18 show. If you could choose any housemate, any celebrity to be a housemate, who would you
01:22 choose? I feel like putting someone like Adele in there would be really funny, she's so London-y.
01:29 If you could choose any celebrity to be on Big Brother, who would you choose? Ooh, any
01:34 celebrity. I'm assuming you want a British one, yeah? Yeah. Okay, maybe David Attenborough.
01:44 Why would you choose him? I don't know, I think it'd be kind of funny, because he's
01:48 like the Blue Planet guy, and I think it'd be funny to have someone talking about David
01:54 Attenborough the way that he talks about animals. Have you watched Big Brother before? Honestly,
02:02 not really, I don't really tend to watch these sorts of reality shows, but I mean, if David
02:06 Attenborough's going on it, I probably would watch it, I think it'd be funny. Have you
02:11 watched Celebrity Big Brother? No. Why not? Because I just think it's a bit of a brain
02:15 rot show, I'd rather spend my time doing other things. Can I ask you one more question? If
02:22 you had to pick a celebrity to be in Big Brother, who would you pick? Ariana Grande. Why? Because
02:28 she's amazing. According to Campaign Live, 3.2 million across the UK tuned in to Celebrity
02:35 Big Brothers Relaunched on Sunday. However, speaking to students and people at Preston,
02:42 it doesn't seem like it's that popular. Maybe it's past its time. Let us know in the comments
02:47 what you think.
