Celebrity Big Brother (British TV series) series 19

Celebrity Big Brother 19 was the nineteenth series of the British reality television series Celebrity Big Brother, also known as Celebrity Big Brother: Eye of the Storm. It aired on Channel 5 from 16 August to 10 September 2018, lasting 26 days. The series was hosted by Emma Willis.

The premise remained consistent with previous series: a group of celebrities lived together in a specially constructed house, isolated from the outside world. They were continuously filmed and subjected to tasks and challenges. Viewers voted to evict housemates, with the last remaining celebrity declared the winner.

The theme for this series was "Eye of the Storm," featuring celebrities who had been involved in media controversies or scandals. The lineup included a mix of personalities from reality television, sports, music, and entertainment.

The winner of Celebrity Big Brother 19 was Ryan Thomas. Other notable housemates included Dan Osborne, Roxanne Pallett, and Gabby Allen. The series generated significant media attention due to controversial incidents and conflicts within the house, particularly an accusation made by Roxanne Pallett against Ryan Thomas that ultimately proved to be false. This incident sparked widespread public debate and scrutiny of Pallett's actions. The series also featured a public apology from Pallett to Thomas after viewing the footage of the incident upon leaving the house.
