Yes, it doesn't surprise me at all. They have the audience they sought, and the absolute notariety of this year's shenanigans will ensure figures stay sky high.

It's just that it's a different breed of programme entirely from last year. I can't enjoy it, but I do still watch the omnibus each night.

I think the success of this year is largely built on the success of last year. Everyone who watched it then is back, as well as those who caught the tail end publicity after the show finished and wondered what they had missed.

Then, there's the fact they have turned it from BB to Elstree Uncovered by picking absolute morons to people it.

A winning combination obviously
