Big Brother

It was the news that BB fans had been dreading - due to failing ratings, Big Brother will be axed from Channel 4 next year.

Life must be extremely bizarre for Karly Ashworth at the moment.

Avid Big Brother fans have been complaining about the removal of the 24/7 live feed for this series, claiming that we are not seeing enough of the housemates to make judgements on them.

After just a few weeks in her new lucrative job with Karren Brady at Birmingham City Football Club, it appears Claire Young has sensationally quit the post.

Big Brother diva Dennis McHugh is the second housemate to be removed from the house this series.

Channel 4 has cancelled this week's Big Brother eviction phone vote. The channel later explained that Alexandra De-Gale had been booted out of the house for "repeated unacceptable behaviour".

After the housemates' first nominations Mario and Alexandra are the two who will face the public vote this week.

Big Brother 9 was launched on Channel 4 last night to a slight drop in ratings.

Last night saw the launch of Big Brother 9, 2008. 16 wannabes entered the house to become the nations friends for the next 13 weeks.

Stephanie McMichael is a housemate in the 2008 Big Brother.
