Celebrity Big Brother 10 was the tenth series of the British reality television series Celebrity Big Brother. It launched on 15 August 2012, two days after the final of Big Brother 13, and aired on Channel 5 and 5* for 24 days until 7 September 2012. It was the third celebrity series to air on Channel 5 as part of a contract extension of the current two-year contract with Endemol, and the fifth series of Big Brother to air on Channel 5 since they acquired the show. The series was sponsored by hair product brand Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL. It was won by comedian Julian Clary, with television presenter Coleen Nolan as runner-up. First evictee, Jasmine Lennard, later appeared as a guest for a two-day stint on Big Brother 16.

Coleen Nolan returned to the house for Celebrity Big Brother 19 as an All-Star representing this series. She won this series.

Pre-series

Background

Initially, only one series of Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother was planned to air once a year over the span of two years, but on 27 March 2012, Channel 5 announced that a second celebrity series would air in 2012. This is the first time that two series of Celebrity Big Brother have been broadcast in the same year. It was also only the second edition to be shown in summer instead of winter. Big Brother 13 was originally planned to run for thirteen weeks but was cut back to ten weeks to accommodate this series.

Adverts

The first trailer for the series was broadcast on 9 August, which showed host Brian Dowling in the Diary Room, with Big Brother telling him who would be entering the House, reacting excitedly. A teaser clip showing facial features of all the celebrity housemates was shown on 11 August 2012.

Logo

The eye logo for the series was revealed on 4 August 2012. The eye remained similar to the Big Brother 13 logo, but with the iconic Celebrity Big Brother star in the centre and the rest of the eye reversed.

Voting

The only way for viewers to vote during this series was by calling a premium rate telephone number. It had initially been announced that Facebook voting would be in effect for this series but due to technical issues during Big Brother 13, Channel 5 cancelled these plans. The public voted for who they wanted to save and they voted for their winner in the final two days.

House

The house remained largely unchanged from the thirteenth regular series. A separate room became the gym, the theme of the bedroom changed to a new maroon colour, with changed beds and a completely new carpet, the shower door was replaced and cameras were removed from the toilets, and new rugs were placed on the bathroom floor and the entrance to the garden. The sofas were also brand new to the Celebrity Big Brother House.

Twists

Live nominations

On Day 3, housemates nominated live on Channel 5, on the spin-off show Celebrity Big Brother: Live from the House. The nominations took place face-to-face in the living room, where Big Brother told housemates that they were required to nominate just one housemate to face the public vote. As a result of this, with three nominations each, Jasmine and Rhian were nominated for eviction and Jasmine was evicted six days later.

Jasmine's mother

After the second live eviction, Big Brother's Bit on the Side host Emma Willis revealed that Jasmine's mother, Marilyn Galsworthy, would enter the house during the weekend, and would be controlled by Jasmine through an earpiece as part of a task. During the task, Marilyn posed as 'Shelley' a supposedly famous medium who had entered the house after causing controversy in the outside world. If the housemates sussed out that 'Shelley' was a fake, Jasmine and Marilyn would not receive their special prize - the chance to grant two housemates of their choice immunity from the impending nominations. As the housemates knew she was a fake, Jasmine and Marilyn lost the task and the nominations were carried out as normal.

Housemates

Ashley McKenzie

Ashley McKenzie (born 17 July 1989) is an English judoka and member of the Great Britain judo squad competing in the men's 60 kg category.

Weekly summary

Nominations table

Notes

• ^Note 1 : On Day 3, housemates nominated face-to-face during a live broadcast. In a change to the usual format, each housemate was only allowed to make one nomination. The housemates were then allowed to discuss the nominations for the rest of that night.
• ^Note 2 : Shortly after Rhian's eviction on Day 15, housemates were required to nominate two housemates for eviction, face-to-face. The housemates were then allowed to discuss the nominations for the rest of that night. A double eviction took place on Day 17, meaning the three or more housemates with the most votes faced eviction.
• ^Note 3 : On Day 16, The Situation was punished after being caught cheating during Day 15 face-to-face nominations. Big Brother deemed his votes void and banned him from nominating for the rest of the series. Another double eviction took place on Day 22.
• ^Note 4 : For the final two days the public were voting for who they wanted to win rather than to save.
