Big Brother bosses are said to be preparing a statement revealing that this summers Big Brother series will be the last.

BB auditions have been taking place all over the UK during the last few weeks and now those people chosen for the Channel 4 reality TV show may be the last housemates ever.

A show insider told the Daily Star: “Shortly after the Celebrity version of the show, key members of staff were told it was ‘highly unlikely’ to return.

“Everyone was disappointed but most people realise it has run its course.

“This year may be the final chance for many people to step inside the house, earn their 15 minutes of fame and cash in on the show’s popularity.

“There’s still a tiny hope it will return but it’s 99% certain it will be 10 and out for the show.”
