Big Brother’s Little Brother presenter George Lamb has said that it’s time to move on from Big Brother, arguing that Channel 4 should make this years series its last.
“I think they’d knock it on the head after this [series], the 10th anniversary, if they could,” he told The Sun.
“The show has made people a lot of money and it’s entertained viewers at home but now it’s time to move on and find the next Big Brother.”
Last week the show’s host Davina McCall, who has always championed the show ferociously, admitted that next years’ 11th season would be the last in the UK.
Channel 4 have made some changes to its Big Brother coverage this year and have reduced the amount of Big Brother’s Big Mouth shows from four per week to just one.
The show will air on E4 straight after the main eviction show and this summer the show will no longer be fronted by Jack Whitehall, instead Davina McCall will take over the role.
Davina McCall and other Channel 4 presenters are rumoured to be facing a large pay cut.
The cash strapped channel is said to be aiming to cut 30% off it’s wage bill this year and bosses Andy Duncan and Kevin Lygo yesterday took the unprecedented step of cutting their own salaries.
Chief executive Duncan currently earns up to £895,000 but will take home less than £600,000 this year.
Kevin Lygo who is Director of TV and content, will see his salary drop from £772,000 to £575,000.

It’s a shattered eye, mostly in black with a touch of red on the right. What might it represent? I have never been a fan of modern art so I have no idea, but if any of you do please drop me a line!
