Big Brother 8: Chanelle HayesFormer Big Brother housemates, Chanelle and Ziggy have reportedly had sex for the first time outside the Big Brother house.

Chanelle, 19, said: “It was magical. But we kept thinking someone was going to interrupt us and call us into the Diary Room.”

Ziggy chirped: “We had an amazing night. And we didn’t get much sleep. Being trapped in the Big Brother house, I was like a caged animal busting to get out. We didn’t get to sleep until after 3am. We want to give this a go.”

Have you ever seen a couple more hungry for a magazine deal? Chiggy would give Peter and Jordan a run for their money!

Big Brother WON’T Be Axed!

Big Brother 2007 LogoYesterday we reported that Channel 4 bosses were considering axing Big Brother due to bad ratings and lack of interest in the show.

However, Channel 4 programmes chief Julian Bellamy has revealed that the show will continue, he said it’s still popular with teens and those in their 20s – main targets for advertisers – and other shows rely on it for revenue.

If this is true, then Channel 4 certainly need to reinvigorate the show in some major way. Has anyone any ideas out there?

Should Channel 4 Axe Big Brother?

Big Brother 2007 LogoRumours are rife that Channel 4 bosses are considering axing Big Brother, or at least giving it a one year break, after the dire ratings acheived by this years series.

The Sunday Mirror has today reported that with less than three million people tuning into some of the nightly highlight shows on Channel 4, BB bosses are going to have to come up with a radical way to improve the show, or else pull it altogether.

“Everyone has been frantic with worry about the way it has gone,” a show insider told the paper.

“The most drastic plan is getting rid of the next series – but only for a year, as they hope the show will come back stronger. It would mean the end of an era in a sense, but might just save Big Brother.”

Celebrity Big Brother has already been axed from the 2008 schedules and will return in 2009.

So let us know your views. Should Channel 4 axe BB, or would you be devastated without your yearly dose? Comments below as always!

Runners-up Amanda & Sam hugged and kissed Brian before walking out of the Big Brother house. As they waved a final goodbye to the winner they called out “whistle for a hottie” and then made their way up the stairs hand in hand. Read more & comment »

Sam And Amanda Most Popular Big Brother Housemates EVER

Big Brother 8: Amanda MarchantA record £5 million has been bet on Sam and Amanda Marchant to win Big Brother 2007, making them the most popular Big Brother housemates yet.

The bookies stand to lose a fortune if the girls win, as they were first given the odds of only 20/1 when people were sure Brian would win.

Ladbrokes spokesman Nick Weinberg said last night: “The twins will go down in BB history.

They’ve managed to steer clear of all the bitching and back-stabbing which has made them firm favourites amongst the punters. If they’re crowned queens of BB their army of fans will only increase. Read more & comment »

Gerry Leaves The Big Brother House!

BRIAN, CAROLE, GERRY, JONTY, KARA-LOUISE and LIAM have all faced the public vote this week following the “mind, body and soul” task. “Gurus” Amanda & Sam, Tracey and Ziggy were granted immunity from eviction. Tonight, Carole and Gerry were revealed as the two housemates who received the most votes from the public, with 49% and 24% respectively. This was then announced to the house by Big Brother, and the “gurus” had to decide whether Carole or Gerry would become the tenth housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house.

Big Brother instructed each “guru” to stand in turn and name the housemate they wanted to evict. Starting with Amanda and Sam the “gurus” made the unanimous decision to evict Gerry.

After hearing he was to be evicted Gerry said “I’m proving now that I did not come here for the money, you all did the right thing.” Turning to a tearful Carole, Gerry told her “You can stay here and win, we’re still young, we can work for it.”
