Series to begin with all-female housemates - Channel 5 confirm

4 Dec, 2017 - 12:37 PM by James

Channel 5 have confirmed that the January 2018 Celebrity Big Brother series will begin with all-female housemates, to mark 100 years of womens' suffrage. Male housemates will enter later. For week one (from C5 press release): In January 2018, as the nation marks 100 years since women won the right to vote for the very first time, Celebrity Big Brother launches this series with an all-female cast of celebrity housemates in a salute to a centenary of women’s suffrage on Channel 5. Presented by Emma Willis, Celebrity Big Brother will initially explore how the all-female housemates interact, from politicians to performing artists, as they enter the house first, ahead of the celebrity male housemates. Over the course of the series, as the male counterparts enter the house, the housemates will take part in a series of entertaining tasks and hidden experiments which will test their - and our - assumptions, challenge gender stereotypes and reveal fascinating truths about what it is to be a woman - and man - in the 21st century. See what happens when women hold the power, as Celebrity Big Brother January 2018 is set to be celebratory, surprising and insightful. Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On the Side will return weeknights with Rylan Clark-Neal.

I get that BB8 didn't really work but C5 pick really good celeb females and if it's a cast of about 12 and no more I think this series will be incredible

This makes it sound quite good but it's CBB and we know what they're like, I can't help think they're just after cat fights and titillation and they're just using all this "salute to a centenary of women’s suffrage" stuff as a publicity stunt.
