Earlier this month, rumours emerged that Channel 5 might axe Big Brother after its contract with Endemol ends this summer.

But Rylan is confident the long-running legendary format still has legs, explaining: “If it didn’t come back I would be utterly devastated.
I can’t imagine TV without Big Brother.”

“When C4 got rid of it I rang the helpline in Heat magazine. I was that devastated. Not many reality shows can say they’ve been on air for 18 years. I’d love to see it make 20 years — of course I would. I think it’s time to make Big Brother what it was. I’ve always had one* million per cent faith in the format and that it can be the greatest show on telly.”

CBB and BB were said to have suffered with the surge in popularity for ITV2 rival Love Island, and Rylan concedes: “There are changes coming, definitely. They did such a great job with Love Island.”
