I haven't found anything official either, but the articles written over the past few days have been quite optimistic.

From Metro:
Currently the channel - who bought the format from Channel 4 after their final series in 2010 - has a deal in place with Endemol to keep the show, and its celebrity counterpart, on air until 2013.

However it has proven such a hit in its new small screen home that they are currently negotiating a new deal - which is said to include two celebrity versions of the show a year as well as the regular show in the summer.

Big Brother boss Gavin Henderson told the Daily Star the contract was 'being re-negotiated as we speak'.

He added: 'It's an open secret that Channel Five have been very pleased with its success as have we.

'When we moved from Channel 4 to Channel Five it enabled us to make changes that we couldn't in the past.

'We've been a lot more confident this time in how we drive the stories forward and make entertaining shows.'

LONG LIVE BIG BROTHER

It it's true, and the rumours of two CBBs a year are true, then it will take us up to BB20 but also up to CBB24

I never would have guessed we would have more CBBs than BBs

Channel 4 had a contract for BB1-BB2, And then BB3-BB6, followed by BB7-BB11 if i remember. Because BB11 was the end of their last contract which was signed in 2006.

Yep. That's how it went basically.

Channel 5 i'm sorry to say would be mad to sign the show up until Big Brother 19. They need to do small deals like C4 did. I can't see there being a BB19 unfortunately.

And i really hope there's not two CBB's a year. Three series of BB to cover... :|

Can't wait to win BB19

I think its a little unlikely thats its been renewed for such a long period of time. I doubt any broadcaster would renew a contract for a show that far ahead.

I think it will be renewed for the remainder of the rumored 5yr contract that came about last year when Big Brother was rumored to be coming back. Remember the reports of a 5yr year deal the we only got a 2yr deal instead?

That will give us another 3yrs. Then C5 will go from there.

As long as the show is on for BB15/16 and i can apply at least. I'll be happy.

I hope it's true. Big Brother should remain on our screens FOREVER.

With a celebrity version in January then a civilian series in May/June time for the summer

We need to have 24 7 live feed back and just keep everything basic.

Keep the vote to SAVE. Give the housemates plenty of parties and booze. Big Brother should STOP intefering and let the housemates get on with it.

DONE.

Oh.. and another thing.. I don't care what type of celebs we have for the celeb series. They don't all have to be "A" list. I mean.. it's only on for 3 weeks.

However..

For the civilian series.. PLEASE.. can we start having housemates who are mostly ordinary people. Sure.. a few freaks in as well. I don't want too many "generic" people in again. BB best have a good mix of housemates for BB13.

Thanks x
