In three nights, Big Brother 2014 has lost over half of its audience with now fewer than a million viewers tuning.

2.1 million viewers switched onto Channel 5 for the first launch show on Thursday night as the new series kicked off but that was down to 1.6 million for Friday evening’s second live show, which saw six more housemates and a big twist.

Last night saw the figures fall again as just 950,000 watched the first full highlights of the series.

It was despite the show being scheduled straight after the BGT final, which had a peak audience of more than 12 million viewers watching.

And even though the show had originally faced the football, the match was suspended due to a thunderstorm.

The show was down some 300,000 viewers on last year’s equivalent first Saturday nights highlights, all despite a series of twists as part of this year’s Power Trip theme.

The show continues nightly on Channel 5 and will air another special live show on Monday night from 10PM where another twist will be revealed.

A spokesman for Channel 5 said today: “We are pleased with the very strong performance of the show across the two launch nights.”
