Big Brother 2011: launch date revealed

Stand by your remote controls. The waiting is finally over. Monkey hears Celebrity Big Brother is due to burst onto Channel 5 on Thursday 18 August at 9pm with a 90-minute show, with another live show the following night. Woo-hoo! However, Monkey's man on the bananaphone says final details are still being agreed, so more later. Safe to say if you haven't got your application in by now, it's probably too late.
