This year’s series ends next Thursday, a week earlier then planned, but it’s been claimed that ratings aren’t to blame.

Rather producers have simply run out of cash which is also the reason behind this week’s Cash Bomb twist.

BB2015 had originally seen the show’s biggest prize fund ever at £150,000 but this has been more than halved to £72,100 as things stand.

Extra costs have included keeping Time Warp housemates Helen Wood, Nikki Grahame and Brian Belo for an extra week, adding Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace to the house line up and signing celebs for the Hotel BB task.

So basically Helen has won 2 years on the trot.

The Basic Bitch Queen taking home the Cash!!

Gosh, they can't be getting that many voters then.

[Babayaro.]

They're a bunch of idiots.

[Niamh.]

lol I would be well pissed off if I were a HM this year, those ex HMs first stealing their airtime and then their prize fund. Shame on BB tbh

[JTM45]

I can't see how this can be true!!! I'm not buying it!

I know they're a particularly incapable bunch over at BB HQ but you don't just spend that kind of money without knowing you can cover it.

Sounds like a silly rumour that's done the rounds and suddenly taken on a life of its own.

Load of bollocks lmao

[Marsh.]

Rubbish. They purposely increased it FOR this twist IMO.

And there have been 3 money twists on C5 that deducted the prize fund, if they were that broke we wouldn't have had so many CBB's and 2 more civillian series after it.
