CELEBRITY Big Brother was sensationally axed last night.
Bosses acted following the Shilpa Shetty race row on this year’s show — and falling ratings on Big Brother 8.
Stars including Paris Hilton were already being lined up for the next Celebrity.
But Channel 4 chiefs revealed at the Edinburgh TV Festival it would not be back in January — and the future of the show is in doubt.
Controller of programming Julian Bellamy denied the decision was due to the race row but was to make way for “adventurous” shows.
He admitted the 17 per cent drop in ratings for Big Brother 8 did not help.
And he said this year’s Celebrity — the first of which was won by comic Jack Dee — did not match others, especially last year’s when MP George Galloway acted like a cat.
The move casts fresh doubt on the future of Davina McCall, who presents both shows.
A source said: “She was humiliated when she had to read an apology at Jade Goody’s eviction over the race row.
“It may be she decides not to come back at all next year. Chris Evans has been named as a possible replacement.”

Where does it say that BB8 was worse BB7?
It just talks of failing rating which might be due to the sanitized nature of the show after last years race row.
