CELEBRITY Big Brother might have to change its name, as I can reveal plans for an all-female series.
Producers are on the lookout for the strongest personalities in showbiz, as Channel 5 dedicates a season of programmes to celebrate 100 years since women won the right to vote.

A TV source said: “Channel 5 wants to make a real splash as part of their women’s vote celebrations.

“They are keen to cast opinionated women like GERMAINE GREER over no-mark reality TV girls who look good but have little to say or bring to the conversation.

“Bosses are expecting cat fights galore, plenty of tension and clashing personalities.”


The change, scheduled for January 2018, comes after producer Endemol vowed to refresh the format of the long-running series amid strong competition from rival shows such as ITV2 hit Love Island.

Endemol’s Peter Salmon, the former BBC boss and husband of Happy Valley actress SARAH

LANCASHIRE, said: “Big Brother has got to last. You have to roll your sleeves up and renew it for a different generation.

“It is having a tougher *competitive time in the UK but it’s huge around the world.

“Love Island has been *sensational. If Big Brother is not on top form, we have to keep changing it.”

I’d be surprised if the new series has no men.

After all, the popularity of Love Island was all about romance.
