Marcus Bentley has revealed that he’s signed up to remain the narrator of Big Brother UK for two more years – despite Channel 5 only having the rights to the show until the end of 2014.



The iconic Geordie voice shared the good news with fans on his Facebook page earlier today, writing: “Great news – just agreed my next two years on Big Brother!”



His post suggests that the long-running reality format will remain on our screens in 2015, although it is currently only contracted for one more year.

Channel 5 announced last April that it would keep Big Brother until 2014, in a deal that is due to expire after the fifteenth civilian and fourteenth Celebrity series next summer.



The broadcaster is yet to officially confirm whether it will extend its arrangement with producers Endemol – but it has recently hinted that a renewal is on the cards.



Speaking at August’s Edinburgh Television Festival, C5′s director of programmes Ben Frow said: “I like to think that it’s got a lot more in it and that we will continue to surprise people and evolve it. I think there’s a good few years in it yet.”



Meanwhile, Hertsmere Borough Council recently granted Endemol permission to keep the Big Brother house standing at Elstree Studios until at least 2018
