BIG Brother fans will be sad to hear that this is the LAST EVER series of the show…on Channel 5 at least.
The show has been axed and will leave Channel 5 after eight years – but will it find a new home?
Is this the last Big Brother on Channel 5?
On September 14, 2018, Channel 5 bosses sent a statement to The Sun Online announcing that the current series will be the last.
It said: “The forthcoming series of Big Brother will be the last – of either celebrity or civilian versions – on Channel 5.
"We’d like to thank Endemol and all of the production team who have worked tirelessly to make the show a success.
"We’d also like to thank our brilliant presenters – Emma on Big Brother and Rylan from Bit on the Side – for their consummate professionalism, Marcus, the voice of Big Brother and all of the housemates who have created so many memorable moments.
"Most importantly, we’d like to thank fans of the show for their support over the last seven years. We look forward to giving the final series a brilliant send-off.”
Why has Big Brother been cancelled?
Channel 5 have not provided a reason as to why the show has been cancelled.
However in July 2018, it was reported that bosses decided to axe the show due to a slump in viewing figures.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday: "After months of discussions it has been decided to axe Celebrity Big Brother.
"Ratings have dropped for the past few series so it isn’t worth the hefty price tag."
