BIG BROTHER MOVING HOME?

If reports are to be believed, then one of our favourite reality shows, Big Brother, could be moving from Channel 5 to ITV. 

The show is nearing the end of its current contract with Channel 5, and there are whispers that ITV are thinking about whether or not to launch a bid for the series to be one of the main shows on their new channel, ITVBe.

ITVBe, aimed at a younger female audience, will be the home for lifestyle and reality shows, such as The Only Way is Essex (which is soon returning, from Marbs!) and Real Housewives.

Adam Crozier, ITV's Chief Executive, has previously said of the new channel:

"ITVBe will be a terrific new addition to our family of channels. It reinforces our plan to maximise audiences and revenues from our broadcasting business."

There have also been rumours surrounding the future of Big Brother, with some speculating that Channel 5 may only continue its focus on the celebrity version of the show.

I, for one, hope that's not the case - as both civilian and celebrity Big Brother, are equally entertaining in their own ways.

If ITV do win a bid for Big Brother, it will be the third channel move for the show - having started out on Channel 4.
