Ranking the Celebrity Big Brother cast from least to most Instagram followers

Look, a lot has been said about how celeb this bunch of Celebrity Big Brother housemates actually are. And not that Instagram is the be all and end all when it comes to fame, it is a good judge of how much public interest there is in this cast of celebs facing three weeks living together. From follower counts in the millions to less followers than my mum literally has, here is the entire cast of Celebrity Big Brother ranked from least to most Instagram followers.

Louis Walsh does not have Instagram. 

12. Gary Goldsmith – 380 followers

Don’t know what to say apart from yikes, really. Wonder if one of those 380 is Kate Middleton’s burner.

11. Levi Roots – 23,000 followers

The Reggae Reggae Sauce entrepreneur is slacking a bit in the followers department.

The musical theatre legend is nearing 100,000 Instagram followers. I imagine most of that 90K are the theatre girlies because I had no clue who she was. We wish her well.

9. Fern Britton – 132,000 followers

How on earth is God Britton only at 132k? She doesn’t even have a blue tick, for god’s sake. Get following Fern because if I have my way she’s winning.

8. Zeze Millz – 180,000 followers

I’m not shocked that Zeze has beaten out bigger celebs than her to eight place here – her entire audience and business works on social reach and she’s liked by young people.

7. Colson Smith – 183,000 followers

Never underestimate a mum who watches Corrie and loves Instagram Reels, that’s all I’m saying.

6. Lauren Simon – 243,000 followers

You just know she’s absolutely livid she didn’t make it into the top five Celebrity Big Brother 2024 cast according to Instagram count. She’d hit the roof.

259,000 followers is your prize for being a chirpy little chap filled with joy on a huge primetime Saturday night competition show.

When you’re as booked and busy as The Weekender and been on every show under the sun, you’re sure to rack up a hefty stream of followers.

Mrs O is clearly the most famous in the house – no one’s shocked she’s at second place.
