When is the Big Brother 2017 final on Channel 5 tonight and which housemates are left?
THE latest series of Big Brother has contained the usual thrills, spills, spats and comedy moments that fans have come to expect – and now we've reached the final.
Fans can't wait to see who walks out of the house as this season's champion – here's the lowdown on the latest unmissable series...
What time is Big Brother 18 on TV?
Tonight's live final (Friday July 28) starts at 9.00pm and ends at 10:45pm on Channel 5.
Following the brutal backdoor eviction on the penultimate show, Raph, Isabelle, Deborah and Tom will be competing to be crowned as the winner.
On the majority of weeknights the main show has been airing at 10pm.
The spin-off show Big Brother's Bit on the Side, which is hosted by Rylan Clark-Neal, follows directly afterwards on the same channel.
The series is ending four days after the Love Island finale – BB bosses were wary of clashing with the smash-hit ITV2 series.
Who are this year's contestants and who's been evicted?
Big Brother revealed the first batch of housemates ahead of the first episode, with the rest of the lineup revealed on launch night – and several exciting additions entering the house throughout the show.
Alongside some reality TV rejects in this year's show, there are plenty of new faces you may never have seen before...
TOM BARBER
In a launch night twist, the public chose their own "people's housemate" from four wannabes – and they voted for Welsh hunk Tom Barber, 21.
The cheeky chappy was given special privileges as "the eyes of the public", and was fed information by fellow housemates to keep things interesting in the house.
RAPHAEL KORINE
Raphael Korine is a 22-year-old psychology student, who revealed he wants to "pull the strings" in the house and create drama, but keep out of trouble himself.
"Raph", who is half-American and half-Japanese, admits to having cheated on every partner he's ever had, which might explain why he's now single.
ISABELLE WARBURTON
Isabelle Warburton, who completed the trio of newbies, is an unemployed 21-year-old from Warrington.
Talking about why she wants to be on BB she said: “I want to have the best summer ever, I’m in between jobs at the moment so why the hell not?’
HANNAH AGBOOLA (EVICTED) and DEBORAH AGBOOLA
Hannah, 23 and Deborah 25 are sisters from London.
Deborah is a single mum and younger sister Hannah is the reigning Miss Nigeria UK.
ANDREW CRUICKSHANKS
Andrew Cruickshanks was given a second chance on the show who was one of three who unsuccessfully attempted to be named people's housemate on launch night.
Curly haired Andrew is a hairdresser from Glasgow, and has unusually shied away from social media – he is silent on Twitter and doesn't have an Instagram account.
KIERAN LEE - EVICTED
Kieran Lee, 24, has also appeared on Ex on the Beach where his Lothario ways ruffled more than a few feathers among the girls.
He describes himself as a ‘serial cheater’ and once rang his mum accidentally whilst having sex.
MANDY LONGWORTH AND CHARLOTTE KEYS - EVICTED
Divorcee Mandy Longworth, 51, entered the house alongside her daughter Charlotte Keys, 24.
The pair apparently have an 'inseparable' mother-daughter relationship – the same boy apparently once hit on both of them – but this will be tested to the limit in the house.
Mandy was the first housemate to be evicted after being chosen by people's housemate Tom.
KAYLEIGH MORRIS - REMOVED FROM THE HOUSE
The pretty brunette is 28, from Wales and works as a Clothing Concession Manager, but you may recognise her from Ex on The Beach.
She starred on last year's show and is best known for dating Chloe Khan's ex boyfriend, Ashley Cain.
Kayleigh was removed from the house after an explosive argument with Chanelle, which saw her make repeated threats of violence - something that Big Brother will not tolerate.
LOTAN CARTER - REMOVED FROM THE HOUSE
Lotan Carter is 28, single and from Essex. He's part of male dance troupe, Dreamboys - a talent he may have inherited from his uncle, famous choreographer Louis Spence.
Lotus was removed from the house after a fight erupted with his fellow housemates.
IMRAN JAVEED and SUKHVINDER JAVEED - EVICTED AND QUIT
Entrepreneur Sukhvinder is 38 and from Leeds, she is entering the house with her childhood sweetheart Imran who is 39 and also from Leeds.
The pair met as children, later fell in love and married at the tender age of 17.
Imran was the second housemate to be evicted and in a shock move, Sukhvinder left with him.
CHANELLE MCLEARY - EVICTED
Chanelle McLeary, 24, describes herself as a UK-based lingerie, commercial and fashion model.
After appearing on ITV’s Take Me Out she was approached by Zoo Magazine to do a spread for them.
ELLIE YOUNG - EVICTED
23-year-old Ellie Young starred on ITV reality show Ibiza Weekender.
She reportedly turned down a place on Love Island, starting on the exact same day as the current series of BB.
REBECCA JANE - EVICTED FROM THE HOUSE
Mum-of-two Rebecca Jane is a self-made entrepreneur and author who runs The Lady Detective Agency – an international female run investigation company.
Rebecca, 32, set up the firm in 2009 after her ex-husband cheated on her with at least six women when she was pregnant.
ARTHUR FULFORD - LEFT THE SHOW
Arthur Fulford, 24, appeared alongside his family in the reality TV show, The F***ing Fulfords and Life is Toff.
His father is Lord Francis Fulford, and is one of four Fulford children.
After a week in the house, it was announced that Arthur was leaving the show and would not be returning.
JOE QUARANTA - EVICTED FROM THE HOUSE
Fun-loving Joe Quaranta, 55, is a nightclub owner who travels the world experiencing the finer things in life.
He may be up for a party, but it won't extend to womanising – Joe has a girlfriend 26 years his junior.
SAVANNAH O'REILLY - EVICTED
Savannah O’Reilly, who was the first of the three new housemates to earn a permanent spot on the show, is a 26-year-old singer who lives between London, LA and Dublin.
The Irish native has described herself as “the most competitive person” and revealed before entering the house that she’s desperate to win.
SUE EVANS - EVICTED
Sue (Susan) Evans, otherwise known as “Hurricane Sue” was another who lost out to Tom when the public chose their people's housemate.
She has a YouTube channel with her daughter Imani called MADDtalk where they post videos of themselves talking about everything from weight loss to fashion and make-up.
SIMONE REED - EVICTED
Simone Reed was the third wannabe who failed in a bid to be people's housemate, only to be given a second bite at the Big Brother cherry.
The 28-year-old mum from Stockton made headlines in 2014 when she stripped to her underwear at a Jobcentre in her home town for a "Neknomination" dare.
SAM CHALONER - EVICTED
Sam Chaloner, 24-year-old builder, was the last of the group of four housemates given a second shot at reality TV glory, after initially losing out to Savannah and Isabelle.
The hunky lothario said he is regularly compared to former Celebrity Big Brother winner Scotty T and claims it helps him to score female attention on a night out.
Who is presenting Big Brother 18?
Emma Willis has returned to her hosting duties for the 18th series of Big Brother.
Emma's been presenting the main show since 2013.
Rylan Clark-Neal has also returned to present poplar spin-off show Big Brother: Bit on the Side.
