Celebrity Big Brother bosses have confirmed that “negotiations” over the future of the show are still ongoing.

The popular reality show, which returns on Thursday, is facing an uncertain future following dwindling ratings and reports the channel want to use the money for the show elsewhere.

But, speaking to media earlier this week, the show’s producers Paul Osborne and Tamsin Dodgson confirmed that talks are still ongoing over whether we see Big Brother on our screens next year.

Los Angeles-based Osborne said: “We don’t know if it’s going to be last one, we’re still in negotiations. We’re very hopeful.

“Negotiations are still happening, we’re not involved. They’re a little bit above our heads so we’re just focusing on this year.”

Osborne, who has returned to the helm of the show after 10 years, confirmed that a civilian version of the show will follow the Celebrity edition, meaning there are at least two more series to go.

This year’s series is set to be one of the biggest yet as the Eye of the Storm theme sees celebrities who have found themselves in the middle of a media frenzy thrust into the spotlight once again.

And the iconic Elstree house had had a makeover just in time to lock up its famous guests, rumoured to include Stormy Daniels, Gabby Allen and Ben Jardine .

Celebrity Big Brother starts Thursday 16 August at 9pm on Channel 5.
