Of course its the last BB next year on CH4,Thats when the contract runs out.

Any future contracts would have to be under new terms because as far as i am aware CH4 paid 180 MILLION quid for the series 9,10 and 11.
This was because ITV at the time were interested,although now its thought they are not.

CH4 are said to be financially struggling so I dont see them renewing it.

The show needs a complete revamp with a new house in a new location with a newer format for the uk.
It also needs a year out.

If CH4 dont renew the contract then the show is lost.
This happened in Australia,poor ratings on a channel that had the show from the beginning.
It changed direction in its last year and even sacked the host of 7 years.
The ratings were poor and so it was ditched.
Rumours for months about which channel was going to pick it up,they all backed out leaving the show to grow cobwebs.

Its highly unlikely to return in the near future.
