An audience of more than 2 million viewers tuned in to last night’s Big Brother 2014 launch show.



An average of 2.1 million watched as series fifteen kicked off on Channel 5 from 9PM, hosted by Emma Willis.

It’s the exact same that last year’s launch managed, showing that the show continues to hold on to its core audience.

It also helped Channel 5 become last night’s second most watched channel, with ITV managing just 1.7 million in the 9PM slot for their Ryan Giggs documentary.

And over on Channel 4 at the same time, the yearly comedy gala averaged 1.8 million with a peak audience of more than 2.4 million.

Meanwhile, Big Brother’s spin-off show Bit On The Side had an average of 700,000 viewers between 10:35PM and 11:35PM.

Big Brother continues with the second half of the live launch tonight (Friday) at 9PM on Channel 5 where a further six housemates will enter.
