The surprise success of this year’s Celebrity Big Brother series, has led to other broadcasters expressing an interest in picking up the show.

Last summer, Channel 4 announced that the 2010 series’ of Big Brother would be the last and while they aren’t backtracking on their decision, The Guardian reports that Channel Five is now interested in working with Endemol on the format.

Richard Woolfe, controller of Channel Five, said: “Of course we’d be interested.”

However, Five may only take on the celebrity version of the show. Woolfe added: “The main show probably needs to go away and be rejuvenated.”

Tim Hincks, chief executive officer of the show’s production company Endemol, said: “We’re focused on making a brilliant show for Channel 4 this summer. I’ve no idea what we’ll be doing in a couple of years’ time.”

“Sometimes its more fashionable, and sometimes its less fashionable,” Hincks said. “It doesn’t feel any less relevant now.”
