Default C4 exec: 'BB will not return'
Big Brother will not return to Channel 4 after this final series ends in September, the station chief has confirmed.

New Channel 4 chief executive David Abraham said that it was time to find new shows, despite ratings being up on last series.

Asked if he would rule out a Big Brother return, he told The Sun: "I personally would."

The show's current run is averaging 2.9m viewers - up 400,000 on this time last year.


Not a surprise really.

Maybe Five will bid for it, but I dread to think how they'll mangle it even further.

He can come back and say that when Hollyoaks finally gets the axe.
