Pre-series
Background
Initially, only one series of ''Big Brother'' and ''Celebrity Big Brother'' was planned to air once a year over the span of two years,
but on 27 March 2012, Channel 5 announced that a second celebrity series would air in 2012. This is the first time that two series of ''Celebrity Big Brother'' have been broadcast in the same year. It was also only the second edition to be shown in summer instead of winter.
''Big Brother'' 13 was originally planned to run for thirteen weeks but was cut back to ten weeks to accommodate this series.
Adverts
The first trailer for the series was broadcast on 9 August, which showed host
Brian Dowling in the Diary Room, with Big Brother telling him who would be entering the House, reacting excitedly. A teaser clip showing facial features of all the celebrity housemates was shown on 11 August 2012.
Logo
The eye logo for the series was revealed on 4 August 2012. The eye remained similar to the ''Big Brother 13'' logo, but with the iconic ''Celebrity Big Brother'' star in the centre and the rest of the eye reversed.
Voting
The only way for viewers to vote during this series was by calling a premium rate telephone number. It had initially been announced that
Facebook

voting would be in effect for this series but due to technical issues during ''Big Brother'' 13, Channel 5 cancelled these plans. The public voted for who they wanted to save and they voted for their winner in the final two days.
House
The house remained largely unchanged from the thirteenth regular series. A separate room became the gym, the theme of the bedroom changed to a new maroon colour, with changed beds and a completely new carpet, the shower door was replaced and cameras were removed from the toilets, and new rugs were placed on the bathroom floor and the entrance to the garden. The sofas were also brand new to the Celebrity Big Brother House.
Twists
Live nominations
On Day 3, housemates nominated live on Channel 5, on the spin-off show ''
Celebrity Big Brother: Live from the House''. The nominations took place face-to-face in the living room, where Big Brother told housemates that they were required to nominate just one housemate to face the public vote. As a result of this, with three nominations each, Jasmine and Rhian were nominated for eviction and Jasmine was evicted six days later.

Emma Louise Willis (née Griffiths; born 18 March 1976) is an English broadcaster. She is known for her television and radio work with Channel 5, BBC, ITV, and Heart FM. revealed that Jasmine's mother,
Marilyn Galsworthy, would enter the house during the weekend, and would be controlled by Jasmine through an earpiece as part of a task. During the task, Marilyn posed as 'Shelley' a supposedly famous medium who had entered the house after causing controversy in the outside world. If the housemates sussed out that 'Shelley' was a fake, Jasmine and Marilyn would not receive their special prize - the chance to grant two housemates of their choice immunity from the impending nominations. As the housemates knew she was a fake, Jasmine and Marilyn lost the task and the nominations were carried out as normal.
