BBLB has been ousted from its traditional Channel 4 slot for Big Brother’s 2006 series, and will instead be found every night at 7.30pm on E4, although the Sunday lunchtime outing on C4 will remain.

This could in part be due to the massive drop in viewers the show managed in the last series. After the slot was moved to a early morning breakfast slot it drew around 200,000 viewers – a far cry from the 1.8 million it had averaged in its previous home.

Thankfully the show will still be presented by the delectable Dermot O’Leary. I would gladly give up watching Corrie for him!
