Katy Smith, a producer at Big Brother creators Endemol, has said that the show would ‘benefit from a rest’.

However, Smith, who is currently overseeing auditions for this summer’s eleventh main series, which will be the last to air on Channel 4, added that there’s still life in the format.

Talking to Scotland’s Sunday Herald, Smith said: “I think it will benefit from a rest, but I don’t think this is the end of it. It still has so much more to give.

“It’s been one of the most talked about shows of the decade. It’s shaped TV history.

“Other countries have rested it, and it’s come back an even bigger success. I think that might happen here.

“I would be very surprised if this was the last you saw of Big Brother.”

Channel 4 confirmed in August last year that they would drop the Big Brother franchise after BB11. The last auditions for the series take place in London this weekend.
