Celebrity Big Brother 2014 extended by four days.

15 Jan, 2014 - 3:18 PM by Holly Christmas

Delighted with the success of the first Celebrity Big Brother in 2014, bosses have decided to extend it. While the new series was supposed to end on Friday 24th January with its grand finale, it will now crown the winner on Tuesday 28th January instead. The four-day extension is simply because the Channel 5 show has been a great ratings success as viewers tune in daily to watch the likes of Sam Faiers, Ollie Locke, Jim Davidson and Jasmine Waltz inside the famous compound. Housemates antics have been pulling in high viewing figures The current series has consistently attracted 2.48million viewers in overnight ratings, which is 190,000 up on last January’s show. Is this the best Celebrity Series yet? Have your say on the forum...... source : Metro News

Well this is ****ing amazing news if true CBB's should've stayed at the four week length that they were in the latter days of C4 anyway Surely they can't do this though if they've all signed contracts for three weeks?

Well if it is being extended I'm sure they would have planned it beforehand and told the housemates in secret I know they have a habit of making things up as they go along but they can't do it in this case

Any reason why they would make the decision half way through the series to extend? Presumably due to it being a success??

The contract probably says "Producers have the power to end the show beyond its initial finish date" They wouldn't sign a 3 week contract anyway since they can be evicted
