We know isolation and lockdown can be boring (there was an entire #BoredVibes TikTok challenge about it!) so to keep house-bound Britain happy and entertained, TikTok has been providing a live stream series called #HouseofTikTok featuring a star-studded line-up.

What is the #HouseofTikTok? 

The #HouseofTikTok offers live stream videos ranging from health and fitness to mental wellbeing and entertainment. We have celebrities and creators hosting the live streams to entertain our users stuck in isolation, including Love Island stars and Pussycat Dolls.

Commenting on the launch of #HouseOfTikTok, a TikTok spokesperson said, “TikTok is a platform for positive, creative expression and our #HouseofTikTok live streaming series is designed to keep people active, entertained and upbeat. With most of us spending our time at home, we hope this series of livestreams – led by some of our best loved creators and celebrities - helps to bring a little bit of joy to people's everyday lives."

Beginning on March 30th - TikTok kicked off the ongoing #HouseofTikTok live streaming series led by some of its most-loved celebrities, including Love Islanders Eyal Booker and Montana Rose Brown, Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts and TV presenter Mark Wright. 

Designed to help keep people active, entertained and upbeat as they spend most of their time at home, celebrities and creators will be posting brand-new live content on their TikTok channels from Monday. 

What's on the Agenda and What's Coming Up?
