Big Brother launches new logo
13/05/2008 - 08:22:48
 The new Big Brother logo – a shattered eye – was unveiled today.
This summer’s series will be the ninth outing of the controversial Channel 4 show.
It is returning in June with long-running host Davina McCall despite reports that Channel 4 bosses were considering resting the series for a year.
Last year’s winner was Brian Belo, who beat the bookmakers’ favourites, twins Sam and Amanda Marchant.
But the summer show failed to catch fire and viewing figures plummeted.
Channel 4 bosses already cancelled spin-off show Celebrity Big Brother in the wake of racism and bullying rows.
This year, it screened Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack, in its place, but the new format, screened on digital channel E4, only attracted an average 600,000 viewers.
A Big Brother spokeswoman said they had always planned to bring back the show in the summer.
