11/25/2023

Davina McCall has warned ITV there's no chance of her signing up to be a housemate on Celebrity Big Brother.

The show helped make her one of telly's biggest names when she fronted it on Channel 4 between 2000 and 2010. But there's no amount of money that could convince her to take part when the celeb version returns to screens next year.

She said: "It's a flat-out no. I wouldn't do it. I don't want people to see me sleeping. Letting people see everything that you do and how you behave is too much. Being a famous person is quite a public thing. There are bits of me that I’d like to save for my partner and my kids."

Despite not wanting to take part, Davina is still a massive fan of the show. The presenter is thrilled it has been revived by ITV after five years off air. She said: "The reaction to Big Brother returning has been really good. It’s still got life.

She added: "That's because the format is just so good. There aren’t many reality programmes where people aren’t told what to do. On Big Brother they’re just left alone. That’s what makes it different from any other reality TV shows."

Davina has been a huge supporter in the past, singing praises about the Big Brother reboot as she tuned in to watch it from the comfort of her own home and tweeting to drum up support. She once penned: "How's it going ? I've got horrific fomo."

The post racked up a lot of responses from fans, with many crying for the former host and Big Brother OG to return to her position. They said: "Davina we need you back," and "the show is missing you Davina it isn't quite the same.

Big Brother made a grand return to ITV screens this October and was fronted by AJ Odudu and Will Best. The Masked Singer judge Davina having been the OG version from 2000 up until 2010. Brian Dowling and Emma Willis took to the hosting seat – before the programme was discontinued in 2018.
