CBB to have more live streaming

Channel 4 will reportedly attempt to boost viewing figures for its last series of Celebrity Big Brother by increasing the amount of live streaming.

According to The Mirror, the broadcaster will show up to eight hours of footage a day, including the streaming of live tasks in the afternoon.

E4 boss Angela Jain said: "Viewers will be delighted to know that live streaming will be available for a few hours each day on E4 and overnight when Celebrity Big Brother returns to Channel 4 in the New Year for the final series."

Host Davina McCall will again present Big Brother's Big Mouth, which will now air twice a week instead of once.

The 24-7 live feed of Big Brother was controversially axed this year due to falling viewing figures.

During Big Brother 10, McCall confirmed that there would not be a return to a 24-hour service on the reality show.

Fans of the show have petitioned producers to reintroduce the continuous footage for the programme's final series.

Celebrity Big Brother returns to Channel 4 in January 2010.
