Emma Willis has paid tribute to the Big Brother house, after it was demolished.

After Channel 5 ditched the reality show last year, along with the original Big Brother format, Emma has shared a photo of the building site where the house once stood.

She wrote on Instagram: "Sad times listening to this going on outside my dressing room this weekend... RIP BB house."

The BB host's followers also expressed their sadness, with one writing: "Ah no... that's sad times... it really is the end of Big Brother."

Another shared: "I've tried my best not to look at the photos but this has ripped my heart out!!@emmawillisofficial is it really the end?!?!?!"

"This is heartbreaking soo many memories and the sound of laughter will fill the air for years to come," said a third.

It was confirmed last year that the Big Brother house – a place of on-air sex, ill-advised comments and pent-up frustrations – was being torn down.

After 16 years at Elstree Studios (the house was located in Bow, London for the first two series), the BB house is in a state of demolition, with aerial pictures from the site showing a team pulling the ground-breaking reality TV show to the ground.

Meanwhile, Big Brother's Bit on the Side presenter Rylan Clark-Neal revealed that his New Year's resolution was to get Big Brother back on air before the year is out.
