Celeb Big Brother Will Return To Channel 4
 

CELEBRITY Big Brother will return on Channel 4 in January, the Daily Star Sunday has learned.



The star-studded version of Big Brother will be resurrected for a final run before the channel axes the reality format for good.



The move is likely to shock fans who saw host Davina McCall bid farewell to the show on Friday night. But bosses hinted it would be back after the final voiceover announced: “Big Brother will get back to you.”



Last night a show source said: “Channel 4 has been really pleased with the ratings and amount of coverage for this year’s Big Brother and Ultimate Big Brother, so they don’t want to let it go just yet.



“It will probably look a bit strange after everyone thought it was the last we’d see of it on Channel 4 but it will be worth it financially for them to have one final run.”



The series is expected to last three weeks with bosses planning to splash out on high-profile celebs. This year’s Celebrity Big Brother pulled in an average of 3.7million viewers compared to around 2.7million a night for Big Brother 11.



The show source added: “The celebrity version always comes up trumps in the ratings. And there’s always a lot more drama because they all have big egos.”

Posted already.

I really hope this doesn't matter. I love BB and have emotionally departed from it now - they can't just bring it back like that! :mad:

be quiet.

Well i thought it was being reported everywere when they announced it was being aced that cbb was still going to go on

If they put in the effort like they did for CBB7 then it should be good, atleast its better than no BB at all

oooooo good news

Brilliant!!

Really hope it does!

YAY!

Kinda wanted Channel 5's BB instead but i can settle for Channel 4's for while longer :D

are ya serious
**** sake
the final of UBB was a great goodbye to it
this will just ruin it :/

It'd only work if they had REALLY GOOD celebrities and the producers WANTED it to be good, there's no point doing it "because they have to" and not because they want to please the viewers.

They should go into it with the mind-set of making it a "classic".

Otherwise it wouldn't justify bringing it back in all honesty...

I think they should wait 2 years though.

I was glad to see the back of Big Brother.

Then last night I was outside having one last cigarette before bed and I thought, "Aww I'd like it to come back ... "

yay, I love Celebrity Big Brother. It loads better than the normal one

It was probably applied for before the show was axed and has only emerged from the labyrinthine planning system

Nothing to see, move along

Channel 4: Big Brother 11 is the FINAL BIG BROTHER!

Channel 4: Ultimate Big Brother is the FINAL BIG BROTHER

Channel 4: Celebrity Big Brother is the FINAL BIG BROTHER

Channel 4: Oh...here's the 12th one lol

Now this would be good :D

Not gonna happen

It's over

Accept it

Move on :nono:

bitch.

I think it was reported back in February that Five would pick up the Celeb version but not the normal whereas Ch4 were done with it, and after billing BB11/UBB as the last ever series and how it ended on Friday it seems totally inappropriate for Ch4 to go against their word like that.

I'd love BB and CBB to return but not this soon on the same channel that axed it.

If Celeb BB does come back, i wish even less that the celebs had appeared in ultimate big brother. i didnt think they belonged there anyway tbh, but since i presumed big brother and everything to do with it was finishing i was like fair enough. Gah.

Your sig picture shows my face right now.

Brilliant news. :hugesmile:

Two words DAILY STAR!!!

Bye Guys. Thank you.
