CELEBRITY Big Brother has been axed after seven years on Channel 5.

Bosses have reported decided to end the show after the upcoming series over falling ratings.

A source told the Daily Star Sunday: "After months of discussions it has been decided to axe Celebrity Big Brother. Ratings have dropped for the past few series so it isn’t worth the hefty price tag."

Earlier this year Channel 5 began taking pitches for shows to replace the once hugely popular reality TV show.

Industry magazine Broadcast reports that if Big Brother and its celebrity version were to be cut – Channel 5 would be left with more than 110 hours of primetime TV to fill.

There is still an existing deal in place, which will ensure Big Brother this summer, followed by the celebrity version.

Seemed inevitable

We had to get confirmation either way before this series started, would've been a bit of a howl (well, not really) if a week after the civilian final they'd just gone 'yeah we're not coming back so bye'

[RileyH]

RIP ha

[LaLaLand]

Oops

[Daniel-X]

Not surprised. There wasn’t really any life left in it and I’d rather see it go now (when it’s already a bit of a state) than carry on getting worse and worse.

Well well well.

Annoys me how they stopped on 19 instead of 20 tho

Like how Britain's Next Top Model stopped on 9 before it was revived

It was long overdue tho, it needs to be off air for at least a decade before any talk of a revival occurs IMO!

Someone will take it. A bit franchise like this which still airs in like 80 countries won't just disappear.

[Shaun]

ThisIsDragRace incoming?

[Eddie.]

Oh no.

Well there’s still North American BB so I’m fine...

Are we just gonna pretend they'd axe CBB and not BB?

[Ant.]

Shocking? No
For the best? Definitely
Sad? Sorta

Reading this made my heart drop a little </3 yeah it's an overbeaten horse but it's such a shame we're finding out it was axed just mere months before the final series. Like it's gonna be such a non-event

Who knows. Part of their new deal may be to just carry on 1 ?

Why would they keep the one that rates the lowest?
