Who is Donna Preston? Celebrity Big Brother 2025 contestant

A year after David Potts claimed victory in Celebrity Big Brother, a fresh batch of famous faces is set to enter the iconic house—and actress and comedian Donna Preston is among them. Known for her sharp wit and eclectic roles, Preston steps into the spotlight as one of the show’s most intriguing contestants. Here’s what you need to know about her.

Who Is Donna Preston?

At 38, Donna Preston has carved out a versatile career across TV and streaming. Fans might recognize her from Apocalypse Wow, Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, or the darkly comic Inside No. 9. She’s also lit up comedy panels like Hey Tracey! and snagged roles in major series like Prime Video’s Good Omens and Netflix’s The Sandman.

Why She’s Taking Part

While some contestants dread being cut off from the outside world, Preston is eager to unplug. “I think we’ve forgotten what it’s like to be human beings and present in the moment,” she told ITV. “I love sitting in my conservatory, staring at my garden without my phone. I’m excited to have real conversations and listen to people’s stories—there’ll be fascinating folks in there. As an actor, I thrive on people-watching.”

Follow Her Journey

Preston’s Instagram (@thedonnapreston), where she boasts over 100,000 followers, offers a glimpse into her life off-screen. But for the next few weeks, her antics in the CBB house will take center stage.

Celebrity Big Brother airs Sunday to Friday at 9 p.m. on ITV and ITVX. Stay tuned to see if Preston’s blend of humor and curiosity wins over viewers—and maybe even the crown.
