Big Brother may still have a life, with Media tycoon Richard Desmond purchasing Five and looking to resurrect Big Brother on the channel. Mr Desmond, who owns he Daily and Sunday Express and OK! Magazine, is understood to have already had talks with Endemol – who were also interested in purchasing the television station.
According to The Telegraph, Mr Desmond’s £100m bid for the channel is expected to be confirmed later today.
The paper says that the potential new owner is already understood to have had discussions with Endemol – the owners of Big Brother – about resurrecting the programme.
By using his newspapers and magazines to cross sell the content and personalities involved in such reality TV shows Mr Desmond hopes to be able to revitalise the reality TV genre.
Big Brother 11 is the last series of the show to air on Channel 4.
