A number of former 'Big Brother' stars have been speaking about the decision to axe the show following next year's run.
According to The Sun, Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty said: "After a point people got bored - it got a bit contrived and people lost interest."
Former 'Big Brother' star Nikki Grahame said: "It's so sad. Big Brother is a national treasure. People love to hate it but, as much as they slag it off, it always takes over people's lives."
"I suppose people are tired of seeing the same stuff. Going on the show is one of the best things I ever did."
Brian Dowling, who won the second series of the show, said: "I'm really sad 'Big Brother' has been axed. I'm still a fan to this day, and it will leave a huge gap in my summers."
"The show has been amazing to me and given so many people loads of opportunities. It's produced some colourful characters; some we will miss and others we wish would go away."
Brian Belo, who won the eighth series of the show, said: "It's a sad day for reality TV. The show will leave a lasting legacy in British television."
