The upcoming series of Big Brother UK will see just 10 hours of live feed, it’s been revealed.


This week welcomes back the series to our screens for the summer with a double live launch show on both Thursday and Friday night.

But we’ll only actually see 25 minutes of live footage from the house both nights, airing from 11:35PM until midnight on Channel 5.

The small segments of live feed will continue throughout the series but won’t even been airing every week.



For example, next Friday evening’s live show won’t see any live feed at all, with spin-off show Bit On The Side airing until ten past midnight.

But there will be a 30 minute segment of live footage from the house on MONDAY evening at 10PM, where host Emma Willis will reveal a “surprise twist” to the housemates, just days after they entered.
