The live feed partially returned for Big Brother: Secrets and Lies and Celebrity Big Brother 12 between 12am and 2am. However this will not return with the new series of Celebrity Big Brother.
This comes after fans called for the live feed to be reinstated. Instead, producers will be ‘focus on the nightly highlight shows’ and ‘social media platforms’. There will still be the live Twitter account for Celebrity Big Brother – @bbuklive
Channel 5 had previously aired Big Brother: Live From the House on 5* daily at the start of Big Brother: Secrets and Lies. However they axed the show due to poor ratings.
