Actually I did some rough calculations there, based on how many people I think would watch, and it would be do-able for a subscription feed. But if they did it for free online they risk hundreds of thousands watching on average, and it would cost them millions.

It might partly also to do with editorial control now in that Celebrity Big Brother is so important for them, and they want to have the option of giving certain celebrities privileges - like Rylan leaving the house to go to X Factor tour auditions. Live feed would make that difficult to hide.
If Big Brother Turkey can do a 24/7 live stream on YouTube for free then I think BBUK can afford it lmao

It's never coming back tho everyone needs to move on
