It looks like this is really it then...

I haven’t watched much Channel 5 BB, but it’s still quite sad to see the house being demolished.

That house brought many memorable moments and I’ll miss it.

I watched BB religiously in the Channel 4 days (bar BB10, because BB9 was crap, only watched BB11 because they were making a big deal out of it being the last one), and even though the Channel 5 era is not a patch on say BB2 or BB3, it still feels strange not having BB in the schedules after 18 years.

I've heard the house was in disrepair behind the scenes so it would have been teared down sooner or later anyway. It was only supposed to be used for around 10 years but the Channel 5 era pushed it over that length.

Don't forget BB had a different house originally and it can have a brand new one when it comes back. It has no bearing on whether BB returns.
orange, Josh and DeMarkay gave kudos

The main house has now been demolished with just the 2008, 2009 build and garden to go.

The "SaveBBUK" hastag, it's clearly not being saved now!

Netflix are still in talks, plus the house was in a sorry state particularly in the camera runs so it would have been demolished sooner or later. If anyone has pockets deep enough to build a new house, it’s Netflix.

There is no way Netflix are interested.

Looks like you can see the water tank stage in that photo the house was built over in the fenced area

Just seen this today on Facebook. I wonder if this is genuine or fan made. My mind tells me it's fanmade but my heart says it isn't lol.

Demolition of the house is now more or less complete:

Endemol have made new social media accounts for Big Brother UK after C5 rebranded them all to ‘Reality On 5’ it’s almost as if they’re confident the show will return 🤔
