Channel 4 have confirmed to IBB that the 24-hour live feed service will not be returning for this summer's series.

Earlier today, unconfirmed rumours started circulating around the internet about the 24/7 live feed. It started after Big Brother fan- 'Oathbreaker'- received an email from Channel 4 Viewers' editor Paula Carter explaining that the feed would not return.

This evening Channel 4 commissioning editor David Williams confirmed to IBB that the rumours were correct:

"Unfortunately, as you know the red button 24-hour streaming facility was discontinued prior to the last series of Celebrity Big Brother and we have no plans to reintroduce this service for the forthcoming summer edition of Big Brother.

However, streaming will be available on both E4 and Channel 4 late night/early morning and we will be showing all the other great shows that make up the Big Brother experience, like Big Brother's Little Brother and Big Brother's Big Mouth as well as the latest clips from the house on our dedicated Big Brother website.

I appreciate that you'll be disappointed by this decision, but, unfortunately it costs a huge amount of money to run a large team of people for 13 weeks to monitor the live streaming. Even if we charged online users to view streaming, the cost is so high that we wouldn't be able to get near covering the cost. It's been a difficult decision, but one that we have had to take in the current climate."

Well that's me out What is the point of a show whose whole premise is to put a group of strangers in a house to see how they interact 24/7 when we can't actually see them 24/7? They've even scrapped the miserable little bit of live feed we got in the afternoon too - now all they're giving us is 11.30pm till 6am. Great! For many of us either we'll be asleep or the housemates will. All we'll have now is what the producers want to us to see and think for an hour a day.

There are rumours that Sky want BB, lets just hope that happens soon. Anyhoo, sod them...anyone else watching The Apprentice, Hell's kitchen, BGT?? I am LOL
