CELEBRITY Big Brother has been axed after seven years on Channel 5.

Bosses have reported decided to end the show after the upcoming series over falling ratings.

A source told the Daily Star Sunday: "After months of discussions it has been decided to axe Celebrity Big Brother. Ratings have dropped for the past few series so it isn’t worth the hefty price tag."

Earlier this year Channel 5 began taking pitches for shows to replace the once hugely popular reality TV show.

Industry magazine Broadcast reports that if Big Brother and its celebrity version were to be cut – Channel 5 would be left with more than 110 hours of primetime TV to fill.

There is still an existing deal in place, which will ensure Big Brother this summer, followed by the celebrity version.

Seemed inevitable

We had to get confirmation either way before this series started, would've been a bit of a howl (well, not really) if a week after the civilian final they'd just gone 'yeah we're not coming back so bye'

[RileyH]

RIP ha

[FaLaLaLand]

Oops

[Daniel-X]

Not surprised. There wasn’t really any life left in it and I’d rather see it go now (when it’s already a bit of a state) than carry on getting worse and worse.

[*mazedsalv**]

Well well well.

[Denver]

I think this is it now as i cant see anyone else taking it

[Shaun]

:omgno:

[Headie]

Annoys me how they stopped on 19 instead of 20 tho :laugh:

Like how Britain's Next Top Model stopped on 9 before it was revived

It was long overdue tho, it needs to be off air for at least a decade before any talk of a revival occurs IMO!

[*mazedsalv**]

I think this is it now as i cant see anyone else taking it

Someone will take it. A bit franchise like this which still airs in like 80 countries won't just disappear.

[Shaun]

ThisIsDragRace incoming?

[Eddie.]

Oh no.

Well there’s still North American BB so I’m fine...

[*mazedsalv**]

Yep, LI had a 9 year break and look at it now.

[*mazedsalv**]

This says CBB, not BB though :/ huh

[Jack_]

Annoys me how they stopped on 19 instead of 20 tho :laugh:

Yeah this is the worst part for me, we were SO close to the milestone! Classic Channel 5

[Denver]

Perched fpr Quest red o buy it so it can try make the channel still happen

[reece(:]

It just says CBB tho?

[Macie Lightfoot]

Yay, it's been a lifeless corpse for like five years now anyway

[Denver]

It just says CBB tho?

They will obviously dropped both

[Headie]

This says CBB, not BB though :/ huh

It just says CBB tho?

Are we just gonna pretend they'd axe CBB and not BB?

[Ant.]

Shocking? No
For the best? Definitely
Sad? Sorta

Reading this made my heart drop a little </3 yeah it's an overbeaten horse but it's such a shame we're finding out it was axed just mere months before the final series. Like it's gonna be such a non-event

[*mazedsalv**]

Are we just gonna pretend they'd axe CBB and not BB?

https://uploadir.com/u/x27vdmmo

Who knows. Part of their new deal may be to just carry on 1 ?

[Denver]

Who knows. Part of their new deal may be to just carry on 1 ?

Why would they keep the one that rates the lowest?

[reece(:]

*weeks.

And i think it'll be better knowing it's ending, they can promote in such a way like they did with BB11? Increase in viewers just like BB11 too,

Who knows

[*mazedsalv**]

Why would they keep the one that rates the lowest?

It rates lowest but CBB is probably 10x more money to run for 4 weeks as opposed to BB's 8 weeks due to around £1m-£2m for HMs.

Reportedly they are paying half a million to Stormy Daniels.... i mean perhaps it's a good idea to ditch CBB with all those stupid decisions. £500k!! bloody joking

[Denver]

It rates lowest but CBB is probably 10x more money to run for 4 weeks as opposed to BB's 8 weeks due to around £1m-£2m for HMs.

But the money that is wanted to renew it will just be a waste as they will never make it back in ad revenue

[Headie]

Who knows, c5 remain unpredictable/messy

https://uploadir.com/u/x27vdmmo

I guess we'll have to wait and see

https://uploadir.com/u/6ve313bk

[*mazedsalv**]

But the money that is wanted to renew it will just be a waste as they will never make it back in ad revenue

I think we are underrestimating how much cash C5 have. Lets not pretend they are a poor homeless little channel. Thry have too much, it's reflected in their ridiculous fees for HMs.

I do believe the article and think BOTH will be cancelled, but it;s odd they didn't say "Big Brother", if it was both, they would have just said "Big Brother". But they said CBB, which is what throws me off/

[MB.]

I doubt BB's really been axed, she's probably just in a secret house next door

[Samm]

goodbye to ha she's had a good run

https://uploadir.com/u/x27vdmmo

[Black Dagger]

Sadly inevitable. Been the reality show I grew up on.

[Drew.]

It's for the best really. It is sad though given that this is more or less guaranteed to be the end of it now, its been fun.

They said CBB for click bait and to be seen, because CBB is what’s coming up and what everyone’s talking about

[supertv247]

anyway this is like the 3rd (?) article Ed has release since January to say BB has been axed so we shall wait and see

If true, it is quite sad as they’ve showed that the effort could be made to improve the show and bring it back to its glorious self (even though they’re yet to do so enough for impact) but I doubt it’ll go anywhere if not just to another channel :shrug:

My bet is they’ve axed summer CBB (as this article technically states) but kept the other 2 series per year for a new contract

[Amy Jade]

Not shocked but channel 5 will truly be a station to ignore with BB gone unless you enjoy endless 'cant pay for your telly we will humiliate you' and clips off youtube with unfunny commentary over it.

[StevenS]

I don't believe it. The Sun also said BOTS was axed and replaced with Little Brother. I won't believe it until an official announcement.

[Withano]

Why am i the only one that’s upset.

[Epic.]

I don't believe it. The Sun also said BOTS was axed and replaced with Little Brother. I won't believe it until an official announcement.

This tbh. Didn't the sun already report it being axed and it turned out to be false?

[StevenS]

This tbh. Didn't the sun already report it being axed and it turned out to be false?

They did and I think the Daily Star did too.

[Amy Jade]

Im sad but not surprised.

[Mokka]

I doubt BB's really been axed, she's probably just in a secret house next door

:joker::joker:

Ah... this made me chuckle :blush:

[pontyboi]

Why would they keep the one that rates the lowest?

Because the housemates only get paid like £30 a day or something where as the celebs get paid up to a million per person for their stay.

Regular BB is relatively cheap bar the production costs...I just want another channel to pick it up now Channel 5 have run it into the ground.

Puts a bit of a dampener on the upcoming series mind, Channel 5 axe the show then people are expected to have faith in them putting on a decent series this summer?

[armand.kay]

not them finally making changes and getting a new team for their final series

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Oh well, I'm enjoying Love Island more these days. I will miss it, but there's plenty of reality tv to keep me going :laugh:

[armand.kay]

I love love island as much as the next girl but for that to be my only RTV fix for the summer? Trash.

https://uploadir.com/u/6ve313bk

[Morgan.]

There's no confirmation from C5 yet, why are we acting like The Sun are the most truthful and reliable source

[Nicky91]

nah not true, i can't believe this to be true

[BBUK-Fan]

Don’t believe it, The Sun also says B.B. is first and then CBB in the same article so it’s not tru

[Nicky91]

If Ch5 had've just let it be what it was like on Ch4 I still think it would be on air for another decade to come, I honestly do.

its true that it could just be the sun trying to gain attention with a white lie... personal I think they wont deiced until half way through bbuk...

I though think it would be better on itv or itv2...

How i see it, i watch these channels for certain things:

- bbc is best for serious documentaries
- c4 is a mixture of family stuf, or aimed at people with kids..
- itv can vary...
- itv2 is more for the younger half of the population (or people who act like the younger half)... the young and fun who watch too much tv (like me! as i love family guy so i think i watch this channel the most)
- c5 is more about crime, violence, car chases, ancient and emergency stuff and dog recuse...

tbh i don't really know why c5 got in in the first place... I also have not watched bb in 5 years so a few months ago thought it was on either c4 or itv. alothough c5 do have blind date on there too... I dont know why they have that one on the either... maybe they dont want all the programs to be simila


I think itv2 should get it

[zakman440]

It’s sad news if true but it’s not entirely unexpected tbh. The show and Channel 5 have had their heads buried in the sand creatively for quite a few years now and it’s only just getting serious about change when it needed to quite a while ago. Still, hopefully another network will take it on - perhaps Sky where the lower viewing figures might not be such an issue.

[Cal.]

Very sad news but like others have said, inevitable. It’s been treated disgracefully for years. Sad that just 3/4 years ago it was riding high with the likes of CBB13, BB14 and CBB15. Hopefully it isn’t the end of the format as a whole but it’s had a good run!

[T*]

LMFAO

[Cal.]

I wonder if Davina has been given some inkling that it’s on it’s way out due to being in the industry and that’s what she’s been so nostalgic and positive about the show on social media recently.

[Alf]

When you overly cater for small demographics in society while neglecting a larger one, you're gonna get poor ratings. They ruined it themselves.

[Wizard.]

Oh well, even though they have been a complete MESS and tacky and we love to hate it if it wasn’t for Channel 5 we would have been Big Brother-less for the last 7 years and they have served us some iconic moments! I’m not really bothered if another channel doesn’t pick it up, I feel like I will be okay without it, besides I still watch the Canadian and US version although they don’t possess that British humour.

Also oops at Channel 5 having to fill 110 hours of TV with Cruising with Jane McDonald, Jane Mcdonald and Friends, Gina D’Campos Wish List, TV’s 100 Most Shocking Moments and a plethora of benefit documentaries.

[Wizard.]

I also kind of expected this to happen after Timbomb so for it to keep breathing 3 years later she’s had more than ha 9 lives!

Last year it was the same time ITV2HD Love Island.

I think they struggle to find celebrities to go in. If they’re struggling now, what would they be like next year. They should keep BB and make the series longer and have a cbb every few years

[*mazedsalv**]

I'm not sure about CBB, but i think BB19 will rate similiar to BB17 so be higher than BB18... lets not forget that the new BARB guildelines will come in September, so ratings should be slightly higher.

If they see officials of the high 1s, i 'm not sure whether they'd want to cancel?

RuPaul's drag race has really blown up and is very culturally relevant atm. Because of this drag has also been put in the spotlight and theres growing interest for it. So I don't see how a very well known drag queen isn't an appropriate housemate for CBB. Shane also got very involved in all the more mature conversations that got the last CBB so much praise. He brought a different perspective on gender issues and was very good at getting his point across. IMO he was a fantastic addition to the series and the suggestion that his casting is at fault rather than the productions awful handling of the show in the past 7 years is ludicrous.

most overrated housemate going (even though she was evicted first, people talk about her as if she was the only decent thing about that series)

“i am a real woman” was kinda funny but apart from that i couldn’t stand her, even from launch night i didn’t get a good vibe off of her tbh

also when did I at all suggest the series was Shane's? he wasn't even a fave of mine, but he still contributed to discussions about transgender issues and was able to help the other housemate and viewers understand what India was going through

[Greg!]

I'm sad but glad at the same time because channel 5 don't deserve it. The way it's been treated by C5 is a disgrace. They're so ungrateful about their only relevant show and only show that gets people under the age of 60 watching their channel. If they wanted to save money as they claim they could've just axed summer CBB like endemol wanted all along but they're too selfish.

If it's true I hope it gets a year or 2 break then gets picked up by another channel.

[Rob!]

Channel 5 are currently denying the story (surprise surprise) and said no decision has been made yet. I imagine they’re waiting to see how the first week or so of CBB does.

[Jake.]

Seems odd to have a new creative team if the decision has already been made. Surely they would have just pitted it against LI/The World Cup if that were the case?

but now let's just enjoy CBB for this year ok


my point actually is, TiBB has grown to more than just a BB/CBB forum


and i think C5 could have plans for something else as replacement for BB/CBB, maybe something similar but then different and newer franchise


Utopia UK that would be a nice idea i think, as i see many people wanting the back to basics thing :hee:


C5 only needs to contact our tv icon John De Mol to acquire that show :)

[Greg!]

I got the furthest I ever have done in the auditions this year and it was very obvious even then just from talking to production team that they knew this was the end. Made it all the more heartbreaking once the process was over. I actually had wanted to come on here months ago and share a few details that I heard but decided against it. I just hope for the sake of the original series, they stay true to their promises and deliver but I doubt it - although it is interesting that they never mentioned the civillian in their statement to The Sun, makes me wonder if they’re waiting to see how their ‘revamped’ civillian series goes before calling it a day. Either way, they’ll probably still axe it.

Channel 5 have themselves to blame but really are kidding themselves in they think any ‘new idea’ they have in the pipeline will ever bring in the ratings Big Brother did for them. Of course they weren’t massive figures but they were better than anything this non-entity of a channel can ever hope for again.

Until next time BB!

Share the deets sis, it's probs getting axed anyway so you may as well!

[Black Dagger]

Super. I always appreciate self aware people x

[Aaliyah]

I got the furthest I ever have done in the auditions this year and it was very obvious even then just from talking to production team that they knew this was the end. Made it all the more heartbreaking once the process was over. I actually had wanted to come on here months ago and share a few details that I heard but decided against it. I just hope for the sake of the original series, they stay true to their promises and deliver but I doubt it - although it is interesting that they never mentioned the civillian in their statement to The Sun, makes me wonder if they’re waiting to see how their ‘revamped’ civillian series goes before calling it a day. Either way, they’ll probably still axe it.

Channel 5 have themselves to blame but really are kidding themselves in they think any ‘new idea’ they have in the pipeline will ever bring in the ratings Big Brother did for them. Of course they weren’t massive figures but they were better than anything this non-entity of a channel can ever hope for again.

Until next time BB!

Reluctant to say too much (only because of the agreement they make you sign and how it could jeopardise any chance of a late callback) although I doubt it matters much now anyway, but I don’t think it’s giving much away to simply share how much they were looking for ‘genuine’ people.

I mean it was drilled into everybodys heads throughout both rounds that they wanted to go back to their roots and wanted this series to be ‘less about drama and fighting and more about fun’. Main guy literally said this at one stage and this is a direct quote, ‘So we’re looking to go back to the best days of Big Brother so think Series 6 or Series 7’ and I got hyped af at this point but no one else seemed to care which was a shame. What I also found abit telling was just before that a production member admitted straight up (this is infront of PEJ aswell) that ‘Big Brother just hasn’t been working in recent years’.

Moreover the actual Diary Room questions were a far cry from previous years and were all steered towards finding out the type of person you are - as opposed to ‘what makes you tick’ or ‘what kind of people would you least like to live with’ none of those questions came up. I genuienly believe that they’re searching high and low for genuine people who anyone can relate to, which is probably where I went wrong. Anytime anyone said ‘they’re famous on social media’ (cringe) you could literally see the eyes rolling amongst some of the panel. I don’t want to say too much more but at the very, very end of the process it was confirmed that they really didn’t want ‘larger than life characters’ and wanted the everyday man. It should hopefully be obvious what I mean by that as I say it was at the very end of the process.

I think I would have been alot more bitter about this upcoming series if these auditions weren’t done so differently. That’s the other thing aswell, the actual audition process was flipped upside down. But yeah, I’ll probably watch this year and it will be the first time I have done so since I first auditioned years ago. Once I started auditioning and getting knocked back I couldn’t stomach watching the series I auditioned for, but ironically even though this was the closest I came, I’m still intriqued just because of how much you could tell they genuienly are trying something different. Just hope it pays off.



Very true. Very sad too. Couldn’t believe the reactions of some familiar faces when I came on here today, but I guess it really says alot when a forum dedicated to Big Brother doesn’t seem to care that it could be finishing. Stark contrast to what it was like on here in August 2009.



:hehe: Hello!

Interesting! Thanks for sharing, that is encouraging. Let's hope they stick to their word!

It's obvious they are trying to bring back a positive show in the hope of getting rating to keep it on CH5 or another chanel

most of us here are genuine fans though only takes a stroll into the rewatch thread to see that. I mean only a fan would rewatch 8+ weeks of a tv show that airs daily. its just that some of us feel like the public need a break before they can let bb into their lives again and just bombarding us with more seasons even though the show is dying is only gonna ensure that its gone forever.
