Low Ratings For Celebrity Big Brother Finale
Celebrity Big Brother‘s finale on Channel 5 drew a low audience as Geordie Shore‘s Charlotte Crosby was crowned the winner.
Friday evening’s finale of the Celebrity version of Big Brother drew its lowest ratings (for a finale) since the reality series was revived by Channel 5. Overnight ratings reveal that the first edition of Big Brother drew 2.2 million viewers between 8.30 – 10pm. However, the later edition, in which Crosby was crowned the winner, had 1.7 million viewers.
A closer look at the ratings reveal a peak audience of 1.9 million viewers tuned in. Those figures are down considerably on previous finales of Celebrity Big Brother which have typically peaked at around 3 million viewers.
Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby beat the likes of Abz Love, Lauren Harris, Carol McGriffin, Mario Falcome` and Vicky Entwistle to win the Summer version of Celebrity Big Brother.
It’s C5’s own fault for sandwiching the launch of the truly hideous Celebrity Health Spa in between it.
That’ll be the reason the audience fell off 🙂
The “celebs” this year were were dreadful, not really celebs. For me the last straw was getting someone like cast of Geordie Shore on as a “celebrity”. CBB died there and then for me. I think that is why people switched off.
