CHANNEL 4 may have to cough up £70million to keep Big Brother — nearly TWICE what it currently pays.

Makers Endemol plan to raise the £40million a series asking price after ITV said it intends to bid for BB9 scheduled for 2008.

Big Bro, won by Pete Bennett this year, is C4’s most popular programme.

The new deal would include production of the main show and spin-offs as well a series of Celebrity Big Brother.
