Big Brother 2017, also known as Big Brother 18 and The United Kingdom of Big Brother, is the eighteenth series of the British reality television series Big Brother, hosted by Emma Willis and narrated by Marcus Bentley. The series launched on 5 June 2017 on Channel 5, and ended after 54 days on 28 July 2017. Rylan Clark-Neal continues to present the spin-off show Big Brother's Bit on the Side. The series, along with its spin-off, continues to air on 3e in Ireland, as part of a three-year deal between the Irish broadcaster and Endemol Shine Group. It is the seventh regular series and the nineteenth series of Big Brother in total to air on Channel 5 to date. The series received a 1.24 million average.
On Day 7, Arthur Fulford left the house for unexplained reasons. Sukhvinder Javeed also became the first housemate to voluntarily walk from the house through the front door during her husband Imran's eviction on Day 12. Kayleigh Morris and Lotan Carter were also removed from the house on Day 13 and Day 21 respectively for aggressive behaviour.
On 28 July 2017, Isabelle Warburton was announced as the winner of the series, having received 52.71% of the final vote, with Raph Korine as the runner-up after receiving 22.02%.
Housemates On 2 June 2017, Channel 5 released the identities of the first six housemates. The remaining 10 housemates were confirmed as they entered the house on 5 June 2017. Some housemates had pre-existing relationships, but their relationship had no impact on the format of the game and those with such relationships were still individual housemates - the pre-existing relationship include sisters Deborah and Hannah, husband and wife Imran and Sukhvinder, mother and daughter Mandy and Charlotte, and colleagues Kieran and Rebecca.
On 19 June 2017, it was confirmed that three potentially new housemates will enter for a task, and that the housemates would get to choose two of them to become official housemates. The three hopefuls were Isabelle Warburton, Sam Chaloner and Savannah O'Reilly. Isabelle and Savannah were ultimately chosen by Chanelle, Kieran and Lotan to join the housemates.
On 28 June 2017, it was announced that four new housemates would be entering the Big Brother house. These included the three hopefuls Andrew, Simone and Sue from the "People's Housemate" twist from launch night, as well as Sam, who entered during a dating task on Day 16. These four entered the house on Day 25 as "Second Chance" housemates, but were not eligible to win. Instead they were given £15,000 from the prize fund, which will only be given to the "Second Chance" housemate who goes the furthest in the series.
With 22 housemates in total meaning 11 pairs, this series had the largest number of housemates since the show's move to Channel 5.

Notes
: On Day 1, shortly after entering the house "People's Housemate" Tom was asked to reward citizenship to half of his housemates, therefore exiling the remaining. He chose to exile Arthur, Chanelle, Charlotte, Hannah, Lotan, Raph, Rebecca and Sukhvinder. The housemates with exile status were told that their place in the house was at risk. On Day 3, Tom was given the chance to finalise his decision - and therefore swapped Charlotte with Mandy, and Hannah with Imran. The housemates left exiled faced the viewer vote for the first eviction. : On Day 5, it was revealed that Imran and Mandy received the fewest votes to save. Tom then got to decide which one got evicted. He chose Mandy. : On Day 7, during a task, Joe was given the punishment of giving a killer nomination. He chose Raph, therefore automatically putting him up for eviction. : On Day 12, the VIP house guests were each allowed to grant one housemate immunity. They chose Lotan, Kieran and Raph. : Although every housemate gave two nominations, as usual, Chanelle's, Ellie's, Hannah's, Joe's, Raph's, and Tom's second nominations were not revealed. : Hannah, Isabelle, Lotan and Tom received the most nominations this week. However, on Day 21, as a punishment for the housemate's behaviour, Big Brother voided all nominations and put them all up for eviction. : Throughout the week of this week's eviction, the voting figures were released on Big Brother's Bit on the Side allowing the public to know which housemates were, at the time in danger of being evicted. After the eviction, the final voting figures were released too, showing that Savannah was evicted with 36.32% with the most votes, followed by Isabelle with 26.95%, and Hannah with 11.9%. Behind her was Tom with 6.99%, Chanelle on 4.71%, Ellie with 3.26% and Joe not far behind on 3.22%. Charlotte also received just 2.35%, Deborah got 1.92%, Kieran had 1.57%, whilst Raph received the fewest with just 0.8%. : On Day 25, it was revealed that the "Second Chance" housemates were immune and were automatically given the power to nominate. The other housemates had to earn the right to nominate via tasks. Hannah and Deborah earned this on Day 26. On Day 27, Raph and Ellie also earned the right to nominate. : There were no nominations this week. Instead, starting on Day 37, the housemates took part in "The Hunt" - a series of challenges where the losers risked facing eviction. Chanelle became the first nominated housemate after being randomly targeted in the first challenge. Simone became the second nominated after being targeted by her fellow housemates in the second challenge. The third challenge claimed Isabelle as its victim after choosing herself to face eviction between her and Sam. Sue fell victim to the fourth challenge after being targeted by Chanelle, Isabelle and Simone. : As Simone had the most votes to evict, she was evicted out of the backdoor in the early hours of Day 40. Later that day, Emma entered the house announcing that Isabelle had the fewest votes and was safe, whilst housemates had to choose to save either Chanelle or Sue. With only one out of ten housemates saving Sue, she was evicted.
