Big Brother fans have launched a petition calling for the final series of the reality show to have a live feed.
Channel 4 reduced the hours of live footage during the recent summer series and Celebrity Big Brother 6, arguing that less people were watching the streaming online while the numbers of viewers watching clips on the official website were increasing.
However, DS forum users have blamed the live feed axe for the reduced interest and viewing figures in the recent series.
A message above the online petition reads: "Have you watched Big Brother 10 and missed the excitement and the buzz of the 24 hour live feed? If so this campaign is for you. Please sign this petition for Channel 4 to reinstate it for the final series of both the celebrity version and the main show, Big Brother 11.
"Do you feel that as loyal fans of the show these last ten years, both the presenters and the fans deserve for it to go out with a bang and be the best show possible? As live feed is a fundamental part of the show it should be reinstated to give everyone involved a full final BB experience."
