Here are the updated rules for housemates living in the Celebrity Big Brother house. All contestants are given a copy of these before entering the house, and are also able to refer to them in the Welcome Pack – which is left in the BB house for participants to read through during their time as a housemate.
There are twelve basic rules regarding life inside the Big Brother House. They are set out in their simplest terms below. Details regarding the rules are set out in more detail later in the document. In agreeing to take part in Big Brother you agree to abide by the rules.

1. There is no contact with the outside world. This includes the internet, newspapers, phone calls and conversations with anyone outside the House except for Big Brother.
2. You are filmed 24 hours a day and must wear your personal microphones at all times.
3. The Diary Room is the only place in the House where Big Brother will engage in a conversation with you. Visits to the Diary Room are compulsory.

5. The public will decide who is evicted.
6. You must not threaten or use physical violence towards any other Housemate.
