Confirmed: #BBBOTS will be airing 7 days a week for #CBB #BBUK

What, Rylan's doing all 7?

another 2 days not to watch then

AJ coming back for the weekend versions?

Hopefully they will actually make it watchable again.

Slay :clap1:

not sure :shrug:

We haven't had a Sunday show for a long time, wonder if it's an evening or day time show.

No ty

here for AJ's return after her youtube stint

Can we PLEASE have a lunchtime Sunday show?

Elloooo and welcum to Big Brofer's bit on the sighhhhce!

And a reunion show 2 days after the final?

"She touched Nick Jonas once... it's AJ!!!!!!!1!1!!1!!1!!"

When I read the title I thought they cut it to just the weekend... Disappointed.

It's AJ we're talking about. Not Helen Wood.

maybes there a new co host?

Showbiz?

it wouldn't surprise me.

Hoping Emma Willis hosts the weekend shows. Doubt it. But that would be nice.

I know Emma 'left' BOTS although would prefer her to come and do one or two shows a week tbh. Rather than some trashy z-lister we will inevitably end up with.

maybe she's coming back to do some of BOTS.

Press release issued today confirms that Rylan returns nightly, so will present all.

Perched for AJ's return

:bawling:

Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit On the Side returns nightly with Rylan Clark. Joining him will be a variety of celebrity panelists and an audience of CBB fans to debate hot topics, reveal exclusives and go behind the scenes of the main show.

...is that the confirmation for it airing weekends too? Because I doubt they'd say "nightly except for Saturday and Sunday" - nightly can just as easily mean all week nights in this context.

Yeah it does. We asked the press earlier today and they confirmed it'll air every day. In previous PR's the BOTS information has said every weekday.

I wonder what made them bring it back on the Weekends?

didn't some of CBB15 BOTS get over a Million in overnight ratings?

Yes, but to be fair that was a series which rated 3.1m.

Didn't an episode of Live from the House get 800k, or am I making things up? I think it was the Friday that KP entered.

5* is extending its hours by 7 hours per day so hopefully that'll leave some time for live feed. I doubt it, though.

:fc:

tbh I prefer Bit On The side on the weekends as Saturday TV is normally rubbish, so I'll watch it.

I loved the lunch time Sunday show.

Yeah. Same, there's usually nothing good on Saturday and Sunday nights. But, the question remains whether I will bother watching BOTS.

I've found BOTS has changed for the worst recently. I think ever since CBB15. It became even worse during BB16. It was trashy fun during BB13-CBB14. But they did some sort of revamp to it during CBB15 and it has been unwatchable ever since.

I can't remember much if CBB15 BOTS, CBB13 BOTS was good I think.

CBB15 BOTS was unorganized as ****. One day they would introduce the panel at the beginning of the show, the next day they started off the show with the BOTS news, the next day started off the show by speaking to the audience for the first half.

It's like be ****ing consistent.

I did like the BOTS seat though, for the evictee. Much better than that awful cannon thing they had for BB16.

maybe
saturday - the show could be on in the morning after milkshake
sundays - the show could be on in the afternoon

the weekend show could be repeated

:joker:

The cannon was actually awful (they should have just shot them out of it tbh).
