The broadcaster said: “The forthcoming series of Big Brother will be the last – of either celebrity or civilian versions – on Channel 5.

“We’d like to thank Endemol and all of the production team who have worked tirelessly to make the show a success.

“We’d also like to thank our brilliant presenters – Emma on Big Brother and Rylan from Bit on the Side – for their consummate professionalism.

“And Marcus [Bentley], the voice of Big Brother and all of the housemates who have created so many memorable moments.”

There is still speculation the show could be picked up by another channel in the future, and presenter Emma Willis would be up for a revival.

She recently said: “As long as diaries allowed for it and it was still the ‘Big Brother’ I know and love, then yes.”
