Big Brother fans beg Channel 4 to bring back series after nostalgic Best Shows Ever

Big Brother was back on Sunday night - or at least that is what it felt like for loyal fans.

Now that they've had a taste of the former hit series, viewers want it back for good.

The series and the celebrity version went off air after its final season in 2018.

It used to air on Channel 4 with host Davina McCall, before moving over to Channel 5 - and Emma Willis eventually took over.

Big Brother's Bit On The Side host Rylan Clark-Neal has hoped the series would make a comeback ever since, not ready to say goodbye.

Emma was the same, while original host Davina McCall has shared fond memories of her time hosting the original series since it went off air.

Davina and Rylan joined forces for a special celebration on Sunday night, to celebrate 20 years of the show that made so many names famous.

Fronting Best Shows Ever, the pair will look back at some of the biggest and best moments to ever happen in the house.

As Sunday's episode got underway, fans were in meltdown over voiceover Marcus Bentley being back, as well as the theme tune starting the show.

As the episode went on, viewers were more and more desperate to see the show make a comeback.

Seeing Davina host proceedings too left many viewers hoping she would bring it back on Channel 4, with hundreds of Twitter users begging the channel to listen to them - with #BBUK trending in the UK on the social media site.

One fan said: "Who is watching big brother on E4? #BBUK #bbuk I hope they bring big brother back, it was brilliant. Jackie Stallone was my favourite ever house mate."

Another simply wrote: "Bring back #BBUK."

A third tweeted: "Not even 10 minutes in and I’m ready to sign a petition to bring #bbuk back!! SO GOOD!"

Meanwhile, a fourth echoed: "Me too!!!! Hopefully Channel 4 will see how much Buzz and love there still is for #BBUK."

Big Brother: Best Shows Ever continues on E4 at 9pm.
