A spectacular Big Brother bust-up has provoked a surge of activity on the net as fans of the reality show look for the latest gossip online.
The official Channel 4 Big Brother website has been unavailable on and off this morning because of "huge demand" from fans.
According to a spokeswoman for the hit reality show, "so many people have been trying to access the site.. the sheer volume of traffic has left it unavailable".
Popular fans website Digital Spy has also been forced to temporarily close its discussion forums after hundreds logged in to chat about last night's ruckus.
Fans have speculated on the future of the show since the events, which left the house wrecked, the contestants locked in their rooms, and forced Channel 4 bosses to pull the programme from the air at 2am for more than an hour.
A message currently states: “Digital Spy's forums are currently under extremely heavy load. Please try again in a few minutes! We're working to ensure as many people as possible are able to use the forums.”
Before the forums closure, fans had discussed how the row had escalated following the return of the two "evicted" housemates Emma and Michelle from the "bedsit" they had been living in since Friday. Some viewers speculated that the show would not be able to continue.
