Ratings for Big Brother are back on the rise.

Following a dip to 3.5 million viewers on Wednesday, Thursday's highlights show, featuring the results of the task, Steph's birthday celebration and Jon's unforgetable rendition of Hotel California, hit a 22% share and an audience of 4.3 million.

It seems that ratings are better for the show when going head to head with the BBC and ITV news bulletins.

V Graham Norton continues to benefit from following the show, holding on to 2.2 million viewers last night.
