BIG Brother’s final series will be the longest ever at 13 weeks.



The 11th run starts on June 9 and lasts until mid-September.


But last night even BB fans were on the internet, calling it “overkill”. One said: “The beauty of Big Brother is the fact that it’s on just once a year.


“But this is madness, it’s more than a quarter of the year.


“It’s overkill, Channel 4 must know that people have gone off the show and yet they’re determined to make it worse by doing this.”


Another viewer said: “It’s like a jail term. You would get less time for committing a crime.”


But host Davina McCall, 42, said fans were in for a real treat.


She added: “The final series will be one you’ll remember for ever.”


Big Brother editor David Williams said: “Big Brother is essentially an incredible entertainment show and there are plans afoot to ensure that a carnival atmosphere of fun and enjoyment will be at the forefront for what we hope will be a lively final series.”


Channel 4 decided to axe the show when ratings plunged.
