After a successful trial run during the January Celebrity edition, Channel 5 will be rolling out regular hour-long sessions of live feed on sister channel 5* following eviction shows.
Host Brian Dowling said: "Live feed is back after every live show. There will be an hour on 5*. We did that in January and it worked. When we did live celeb nominations I think over a million watched, which was record-breaking for 5*.
"I think people realised then that there really was an interest in live feed."
Fans of the show have protested on Twitter, Facebook and the Digital Spy forums for the return of a permanent live feed, but Channel 5 has refused to change its stance on the 24/7 coverage.
Big Brother returns for a 13th series on Tuesday, June 5 at 9pm on Channel 5.
