Following Lewis Bloor and James Whale’s evictions on Friday night (Aug 19), ratings have reportedly dropped to notoriously low levels.
In its poorest return of the series, Saturday night’s (Aug 20) episode managed to draw in 850,000 fans compared to an average of 1.4 million, according to Channel 5 statistics.
While some viewers turned to Ofcom in response to the reality programme’s sexual scenes and naked antics, others couldn’t turn the TV off as the steamy shenanigans typically made headlines on a weekly basis.
Lewis and Marnie Simpson, who still remains in the house, seemingly helped to rake in viewers with their jaw-dropping behaviour, as did shameless Chloe Khan, who cavorted with Stephen Bear before her eviction from the house.
“It’s a terrible start to the week,” a source told the Daily Star. “The house is lacking in drama and things aren’t looking good for viewing figures. Lewis and Marnie were providing all the sex appeal and now the spark is firmly out.”
This comes after Lewis, 26, became the fifth housemate to be evicted from the Elstree bungalow on Friday night.
Discussing his relationship with the Geordie Shore lass, he told CBB host Emma Willis: “I’m gutted to leave her [Marnie]. The best thing about this experience is meeting her.
“I feel like I’ve done six months with her. She made me feel like a kid. It’s hard to be intimate in there. I feel like she’s my best friend and I fancy her as well.”

It's become a car crash of a series and I for one stopped watching after the artificial interference of CBB and their up their own ar5e, meddling interference with the show.
The main characters of this year were Bear, Lewis, Chloe, Marnie. Heavy D, James and Renee 5 of those have gone the rest are just repugnant, uninteresting. envious, pale and insignificant bit part players, who didn't have the wherewithal or charisma to entertain us, say something interesting, do something interesting, all they could do was snipe and no doubt they are now pulling pieces out of each other- the radar duckers the back biters of life.
It's crazy that all it becomes is a popularity vote, yet they keep saying- play the game. What's the point of even trying to play the game if at the end of the day it isn't going to get you anywhere.?
Heavy D is a prime example, not much following out of the house, tried to mix it up, knew there were people 'coasting' in there, not being too controversial, just bobbing along hoping not to engage with anyone and make it to the last few days, so he wound a few people up. Many on here were horrified and ended up blowing smoke up KW"s ar5e after he called her out for what she is 'an ex factor reject' of many years ago. The way she handled that - trying to ostrice HD and also playing the victim coupled with profanity after profanity. You would have expected a rational response to his goading but she went ballistic- no doubt there was more footage in the diary room and I would hazard a guess that she would have claimed that he was picking on her and probably threw in ' it's either him or me' remark.
There has to be a way of keeping these game players in, rewarding them rather than thinking we've used you enough, thanks but no thanks. We will now take our chance with the bores see if they can produce some decent footage. The reason why the cameras were on the likes of HD, Bear, Lewis Chloe, Marnie - even James, is because they are life's 'doers' -controversial though they may be.
I just hope Bear wins and if not then Renee, but she's towed the line and tried to get others to fight her battles, notably Aubry and Ricky. I find her rather repugnant- the life style she comes from- where fear and intimidation are the mainstay of their existence. She's struggled in there, as HD remarked, this ain't the Mafia love.
