A source told the Irish Sun, “Big Brother has never been done in Ireland but Irish broadcasters are now so risk averse to new programme ideas, it’s a safe show and could provide content for all three TV3 channels.”
The station is said to be keen to air an Irish Celebrity Big Brother to counter the success of RTE’s Dancing With the Stars.
Kelly Mongan, TV star Grainne Seoige, as well as axed Xpose presenters Lisa Cannon and Aisling O’Loughlin are said to be in the running for a place in a scaled-down version of the hit show.
