Notes
- 1: This is Big Brother’s best performance on a Saturday since August 2011.
- 2: This is the highest rating Big Brother highlights episode since the show moved to Channel 5.
- 3: Although filmed as if it was one continuous show, this live eviction special was billed as two separate episodes. The first episode, named ‘Celebrity Big Brother: Live Bombshell’, aired in a pre-watershed 8pm timeslot against competition from the soaps.
