The housemates have been considering whether they should quit the series together as suspicions about how successful Big Brother 10 is were raised with the recent departures of Kenneth and Tom, who arrived little over a week ago.

Kenneth left during the early hours of Thursday morning escaping over the garden wall whilst Tom exited the house via the diary room late last night.

This has led to speculation amongst the housemates that Big Brother is not as popular this year as it has been previously, with Marcus concluding: “This is just a **** Big Brother.”

“They’re not putting any money or effort into the tasks so we’re all sitting around bored all the time. People aren’t going to want to turn on their televisions and see us lot sitting around all depressed.”

Noirin and Charlie both agreed, with Marcus adding the series may have already been cancelled - and they’ve been left in the house whilst the producers have “*******ed off home”.

Siavash then raised the possibility of them staging a mass-exit, stating: “It would be the coolest thing that’s ever happened on telly if we all just walked out.”

Big Brother’s ratings have fallen by over a third compared to last year, dropping to below the 2m mark. The birthday week of episodes did see a small increase in the ratings, but ratings dropped again on Friday night for the non-eviction eviction shows, with just 1.8m (on C4) watching Kenneth’s interview with Davina.

Meanwhile 8 out of 10 Cats panellist Jason Manford has revealed the annual Big Brother special, usually screened on finale night, has been dropped this year.
