ITV buy Big Brother fo £2.3 million

[Joe.]

In a deal worth 2.3 million pounds the future of Big Brother has been secured - the staff at Endomol are said to be happy that the franchise will carry on well after Big Brother 12.

Channel 4 has so far refused to comment but insiders have said they are happy with the deal and wish the producers the best for the show - It has also been confirmed that ITV will be transforming the entire format with a brand new presenter and a differnt location to borehamwood.

So what do we all think of this, I'm so glad it'll be back and it's been bought but am worried about the changes and everything, no Davina!? I hope the format dosen't change too much, I'd like to see some changes to make it fresh and new but I hope they keep the friday evictions, the three months in the summer and the 5 in the finale. And various other things. I think it'll be intresting to watch and the ITV team will have brand new fresh ideas. What do you all think?

I would love this to be true, but somehow i really dont think ITV would take it, so has to be a April Fool sadly:bawling:

[arista]

Yes it is Not on the Media Guardian
or SkyNews.

So No
Fake Heading needs Editing.

[Patrick]

So is this all bollocks then? :bawling:

I cant see it on the ITV News Site.

Oh FFS.

the fact that Channel 4s deal last deal with big brother was worth almost £200m makes this pathetic april fools joke laughable

[Motella]

I want Big Brother finally ends in the UK.
And that the French version comes in the country. With secrets, etc. ..

When there are secrets, there are a lot of action, because there are strategies to discover the secrets but also for not to be eliminated!

(Sorry for my english xD)
