Celebrity Big Brother January 2018 is almost over for another series.

Its January return brought with it a batch of famous faces who have been locked away from the British public for the past month.

But what's the meaning of the theme of CBB series 21? Who were all the contestants? And how can you watch the live final?

The 2018 series has been an epic on this year - but only one celebrity can be crowned the winner.

Transgender newsreader India Willoughby was the first contestant to be evicted, followed by journalist Rachel Johnson and the lovely Maggie Oliver being booted out in a double eviction. John Barnes became the first male evictee of CBB 2018 in a shocking backdoor eviction, shortly followed by Ginuwine in week three. A shock triple eviction saw Andrew Brady , Jonny Mitchell and Dapper Laughs evicted last week.

Shane Jenek, Shane Lynch, Ann Widdecombe, Jess Impiazzi and Wayne Sleep are confirmed finalists after a triple eviction on Tuesday night saw Amanda Barrie, Ashley James and Malika Haqq leave the house.

This series saw the first ever all-female Celebrity Big Brother line-up - at least to start with.

Channel 5 bosses are celebrating the centenary of women's suffrage - when some women were granted the vote in 2018 - by pulling in a batch of female celebrities.

In their announcement, CBB producers said: "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."

However, male celebrities will be added to the line-up throughout the duration of the series.

"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," the producers went on.

"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."

The Celebrity Big Brother eye has undergone a whole make-over since the last series, this time sporting a colourful iris and thick eyelashes.

It's made to look like a woman's eye, with a lick of eyeliner and even mascara to make it pop.

But right at the centre of the pupil is a camera lens - to remind the housemates that Big Brother is always watching...

The lovely Emma Willis has returned to her usual duties as host of the main show.

She introduced the line-up in the launch show and has been announcing to the housemates who have been kicked out in each eviction, followed by exit interviews with the evictees.

The stunning brunette will announce the winner tonight, followed by an interview with the champion as well as the other finalists.

Her co-star Rylan Clark-Neal has been hosting Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side, the late-night spin-off that takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the main show's juiciest moments with a celeb-filled panelist.

When will Celebrity Big Brother return?

If you are already feeling low about the fact your evening telly will no longer be filled with CBB episodes - have no fear!

The CBB summer series is expected to make a return in August and we already can't wait.

And - if you can't hold out that long - the civilian edition of the series is expected to return to screens in summer 2018 too.

Applications are now open for Big Brother 2018 auditions if you fancy being an on-screen star and can get the summer off work.
