Live feed

Despite fifteenth series of Big Brother having only an hour and a half live feed for the entire series run, it was officially announced on 6 August 2014 that there would be an hour of live feed available almost nightly on Channel 5 due to the ratings success of the previous editions of the show and mass viewer request.

Teasers

On 11 August 2014, the first 30-second teaser was released which features footage from past series of Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 5. However, the tenth series or eleventh series are not included. [2]

Sponsorship

[4] The diary room was coated in a gold sparkle style with gold screens either side of the chair. The control room below the diary room was removed as the 'Power Trip' theme from Big Brother 15 was discontinued. Detailed parts of the Celebrity Big Brother eye were placed all around the main parts of the house including the kitchen, living area, dining area and bathroom. the living area now had more comfortable seating unlike the black and green sofas for the civilians. In the bathroom the colour scheme had been changed to gold with the shower surrounded by a golden cover for the celebrities. In the garden the previous sunbed area had been moved over and was replaced by a seating area next to the pool. Coloured lines were also spaced throughout the garden making it look less bland than what it did look like in the last series. The bedroom wallpaper was changed to an orange city skyline with a new fluffy carpet and one extra bed for Gary Busey.
