Celebrity Big Brother 9

&lt;&lt; Back | Forward &gt;&gt;

Celebrity Big Brother 9 was the ninth series of the Big Brother spin-off series Celebrity Big Brother Ireland. The series launched on 6 January 2011, and ending with the final 23 days later on 29 January 2011. The series had a completely different theme to its proceeding Big Brother series, with the theme being 'Illusions'. The walls were painted to an illusion which were sure to play with the celebrities minds.

The series aired before Big Brother this year for the first time. This format was kept the following year but will change back to its original format in 2013 due to weather conditions in early spring.

From this series onwards, all Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother series' are available all round the UK. To avoid confusion with the main UK series, Big Brother was listed as 'Big Brother Ireland' and 'Celebrity Big Brother Ireland' and aired repeats late nights on ITV2.

 * Day 19 was a double eviction. Therefore, the three or more with the most nominations faced the public vote. If it was not a double eviction, only Lauren and Pauly D would have faced the public vote.
