Same story was in the Daily Star.

However...

Monday's ratings were the highest for the nightly show so far.

From the Guardian's 'Media Monkey' column...

Quote:
"Big Bro crisis talks", says the front page of today's Daily Star. Whaat? "Last night one insider said the Channel 4 show could even be axed after this series ends." Crikey, serious stuff. "Full story: pages 12 & 13." Rustle, rustle (that's the noise of Monkey turning to pages 12 and 13). But it turns out the crisis is that the housemates have discovered there is a "secret" room of housemates next door. Sure, a bit of a pain for the producers, but a crisis?

Hmm, Monkey's man at the Big Brother house isn't so sure. And with more than 5 million viewers last night, it is one crisis that ITV would love to have on its hands. Could it have anything to do with the fact that when the Daily Star put the words "Big Brother" and "fix" on its front page a couple of weeks back, sales went through the roof? Let's hope "Big Brother" and "crisis" has the same effect.

C4 denies axe hangs over BB

Big Brother executives are plotting creative changes to the 'surprise' plot twist foiled by housemates this week – but, contrary to reports, there have been no discussions about axing the Channel 4 show.

Big Brother is C4's highest rated show. They won't axe it so long as that remains the case.
