Big Brother had a ratings boost this week thanks to a nomination twist that saw Anton and Jay move to a secret crypt.

The stunt seem to helped boost Big Brother ratings with both Wednesday and Thursday’s episodes attracteing 1.4 million viewers, well up on previous weeks.

And it’s close to double the dismal 800,000 figure seen on Saturday night.

The is welcome news to Channel 5 bosses, as the series draws to a close, with a final set for Friday, November 9.

So far the series is average between 1-1.5 million viewers a night, a notable decline from Celebrity Big Brother which aired in August, and a sharp decline from the previous series on Channel 4.
