Emma Willis bids farewell as Big Brother house demolished

It's the end of an era for the presenter

| Updated:

Presenter Emma Willis paid emotional tribute to the Big Brother house as it was destroyed, following the show being axed.

The 42-year-old BB host was feeling sentimental after witnessing the memories disappear. The demolition of the infamous house at Elstree Studios comes after bosses announced the show was being dropped last year.

One wrote: “Oh no was hoping a new channel would pick it up, loved BB.”
A second added: “So so sad 😞.”
While a third called it the “end of an era.”

She captioned the Instagram snap with: “Remembering the final, and all the wonderful people I had the pleasure of working with over the years, on what would normally have been launch week…. love you #CBB ❤️.”
