BBye, BBye

DAVINA McCall has admitted what everyone has been hoping for: Big Brother is being axed.

The Channel 4 reality show’s most loyal cheerleader and longtime host predicts that next year will be the last-ever series.

Davina, 41, who returns to host BB10 on June 4, admitted: “It’s definitely only got two years left.”

Channel 4’s three-year £180million deal, runs out next year and critics say it has definitely lost its spark. Last year’s Big Brother final had the LOWEST audience out of the show’s nine series, with a peak of 5.1million viewers watching Rachel Rice’s win.

Davina, who has been host since show’s launch in 2000, added: “It’s become an institution — the summer is all about Big Brother, just like winter is all about the X Factor.”

The mum of two is believed to be looking for a new, more serious TV project to boost her career and has been linked with ITV1’s This Morning following the decision of presenter Fern Britton to quit.

Contestants for the new Big Brother series are still being selected.

For the first time, the show will not be streamed live from the house in Elstree, Herts. An insider said: “It is a cost-cutting measure.”

C4 plans to show a tribute to Big Brother 3 star Jade Goody. E4 will screen a documentary about her before the new series starts.

And the rest of the years to go will just be a slow and painful death :pat:

[JohnnyBB]

the sun say the launch date is june 4th

[Benji]

What does it mean 'it wont be streamed live from the house'.....does that mean that we wont have live feed at like 2.00 in morning? or what?

[andyman]

Yeahhh.. Like who needs Big Brother when we have great itv shows like BGT and X Factor, just lame tacky brain dead cheap BS that was done in the 70s is what we need...

[andyman]

Live feed is still on E4 late night, sleeping aid for some.

[max]

An insider revealed yeah like we haven't heard that before.

[Mister-Darko]

This sucks! It's the beginning of the end for BB. I have a feeling BB10 is gonna suck.

[Scarlett.]

We all kinda knew it was coming to an end anyway

[Rob]

until C4 or edemol say it then its not confirmed.

[arista]

Chewy
all this means is Davina goes in a few years,
then Big Brother starts with a better team
with inmates all under 20
and a New Channel.

Davina is a Presenter
Not a Boss of Endemol.
Fact.

I think another channel would take it up like a shot,the publicity it generates is really amazing.

This is a made up article from The Sun.

Davina was answering a question about how long the current contract would be.

She actually has said recently that BB can run for as long as it wants, as long as viewers are watching the show.

It says it all at the bottom 'THE SUN'!!! You cant believe anything the 'SUN' says!!!

[Spike]

I don't believe anything The Sun says, they are getting worse than The Daily Star

I did like this line DAVINA McCall has admitted what everyone has been hoping for: Big Brother is being axed

Well obviously everyone doesn't include The Sun as they have a Big Brother pull-out in their newspaper everyday for 13 weeks so they must be getting some extra readers out of the show

[geordie-bigbrofan]

if c4 decide to kick it it will be worse then ever c4 are the only channel willing to have scandals on it :mad:

[Tom4784]

It's not surprising, If it's brought back I can see it being done on a shoe string budget and probably would only be on for a few weeks. BB's been stale for years, it's okay when it's on but in retrospective I haven't really enjoyed a BB since BB7.
