Big Brother UK has been cancelled after 18 years — or has it?
The show’s producer Endemol Shine has denied weekend reports that the Channel 5 reality show has been “killed off,” per Deadline:
British tabloid newspaper The Daily Star reported this weekend that the show had been “killed off after 18 years.” However, Endemol sources have said that there is no truth to the current reports and I understand that both companies are still in discussions over future series when the contract for the house-based entertainment format ends later this year.
Celebrity Big Brother is currently on air, featuring stars including Made In Chelsea’s Ashley James, pop star Ginuwine and politician Ann Widdecombe. The existing contract between the 21st Century Fox-owned producer and the commercial broadcaster includes one further civilian series and another celeb edition, both planned for later 2018.
Are you a Big Brother UK fan? Has the show run its course? Should it be cancelled or renewed for future years?
