The new series of Celebrity Big Brother is back and with it a whole new host of famous faces to obsess over.
From the first ever series back in 2001 when only five contestants took part with all the money going to charity, to a non-celebrity winning the show (remember Chantelle Houghton?), there's certainly been a real range of celebs taking the top spot over the years.
As the likes of Love Island bombshell Chris Hughes, EastEnders icon Patsy Palmer and TOWIE's Ella Rae Wise all take part in CBB 2025, here's a look back at the champions of the reality TV show – celebrity edition.
Check out all the Celebrity Big Brother winners from every series
Celebrity Big Brother winners so far
1 of 23Jack Dee: 2001
Jack Dee took part in the show for Comic Relief and everyone seemed surprised, none more so than Jack. The series lasted a paltry five days as it was a more innocent time.
2 of 23Mark Owen: 2002
The nation fell in love with Mark Owen all over again when he took part while Take That were on hiatus.
3 of 23Bez: 2005
Happy Mondays dancer Bez made no bones about taking part in the show because he needed the money. During his triumphant series he struck up an unlikely friendship with Jackie Stallone. Yes, really.
4 of 23Chantelle Houghton: 2006
AS the only non-celebrity in the Celebrity Big Brother house it was perhaps inevitable that Chantelle would win. She went on to marry cast mate Samuel Preston from the Ordinary Boys and later had a baby with subsequent CBB winner Alex Reid.
5 of 23Shilpa Shetty: 2007
Shilpa Shetty's grace and dignity in the face of Jade Goody's bullying saw her crowned CBB winner.

Ulrika Johnson had stiff competition from Terry Christian, Tina Malone and Mutya Buena but, following a grumpy time in the house, eventually triumphed.
7 of 23Alex Reid: 2010
Alex Reid was pretty much a twinkle in Katie Price's eye when he entered CBB. He became husband number two shortly after his win.
8 of 23Paddy Doherty: 2011
Paddy Doherty winning CBB was not the nation's finest hour.

10 of 23Julian Clary: 2012
Well, of course, Julian Clary won. The man's a national treasure. Mind you, he had stiff competition from Coleen Nolan and Martin Kemp.
11 of 23Charlotte Crosby: 2013
Charlotte Crosby was the first Geordie Shore cast mate to enter Celebrity Big Brother and she set the bar very high.
12 of 23Rylan Clark-Neal: 2013
Rylan Clark was an utter delight during his time in the Borehamwood Bungalow. He's gone on to become a national treasure.
13 of 23Gary Busey: 2014

14 of 23Jim Davison: 2014
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
15 of 23Katie Price: 2015
