1. Celebrity Big Brother summer 2018: Has it been cancelled?

There have been a lot of rumours that suggest Celebrity Big Brother could be coming to an end.

Commenting on the show's future, Channel 5's current boss Ben Frow said: "We're going to have a discussion about it. I need to know, like I would with any commission, 'What are the plans for the future? How will it be creatively renewed? How is it still important to me?'

"It's a very established brand, a very successful brand but there's a big shiny new show on the block called Love Island. We need to take a good long look at Big Brother and go, 'What does it look like for the future?'"

A Channel 5 spokesperson has now responded to the cancellation claims, revealing that there have been no further decisions made since the last time this was reported.

"The situation remains unchanged," a CBB spokesperson told Digital Spy. "Big Brother is currently contracted until the end of the year, there's no update on future series beyond 2018."

4. Celebrity Big Brother summer 2018: What happened to Stormy Daniels?

Stormy Daniels' appearance on this year's Celebrity Big Brother was pretty much a dead cert – we mean, it was even named 'The Eye of the Storm' for goodness sake.

So viewers were left confused when she failed to appear on the launch show.

After (also) failing to appear on Loose Women to explain the reason for her no-show, host Jane Moore explained: "This is obviously [Stormy's] side of the story... She says that late last night, there was a custody development involving her daughter in America. She suddenly thought, 'I can't commit to this situation... Being a mother comes first'."

BBUK has now also released an official statement, which reads: "Stormy Daniels was booked to appear on the show several months ago and hours before the show was due to go live, informed the production team that she no longer wished to enter the house as previously agreed.
