The popular and occasionally controversial UK version of the Celebrity Big Brother TV series will premiere on a new season April 7 on ITV in England. AJ Odudu and Will Best will return as hosts, but you’ll have to wait until the show premieres to find out which celebs will actually be living under one roof together. (It’s speculated that JoJo Siwa and Mickey Rourke are among the American celebs who will be featured this season.) While the American version of Celebrity Big Brother typically airs on CBS, the UK version is only available on ITV and its streaming service, ITVX… but you can still tune in if you live outside the UK.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 episodes of the UK edition of Celebrity Big Brother, including when episodes air and how to watch from anywhere with the help of a VPN.

How to watch the 2025 season of Celebrity Big Brother with a VPN
If you want to watch this year’s season of Celebrity Big Brother from outside the UK, all it takes is the help of a VPN. By using a VPN with a location set to a location in the United Kingdom, viewers in the U.S. can tune in to the broadcast for free on ITV. You will need to register on the site (you’ll need a UK postal code to do this) and log in after changing your server location.
A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you’re looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to overseas broadcasts, a VPN can help you out.
