Celebrity Big Brother

Big Brother VIP, is an adaptation of the Big Brother reality television series. It is the celebrity version of its parent franchise Big Brother, the celebrity version airs in several countries, however, the housemates or houseguests are local celebrities. The format of the celebrity version usually keeps the same as the original version. In some countries, the prize money normally awarded to the winning housemate is donated to a charity, and all celebrities are paid to appear in the show as long as they do not voluntarily leave before their eviction or the end of the series. The rest of the rules are nearly the same as those of the original version.

On 9 March 2001, UK broadcaster Channel 4 introduced their first celebrity series Celebrity Big Brother, making it the second country to adopt the celebrity version.
