Davina McCall says she would have said yes to hosting Big Brother reboot
News: Davina McCall says she would have said “yes” to returning to Big Brother, when it relaunches on ITV2 and ITVX.
In an interview with Chris Moyles on Radio X this morning, the presenter gave the honest answer when asked about the programme coming back for a third time.
When asked if she would have returned to the show she said “of course I would! But do you know in retrospect, I’m being really honest now, I would have done it, but in retrospect, I don’t think I would have been right now, when I look at it, I think it probably wasn’t the right fit for me. I think it’s nostalgic for me, but it’s come a long way since I hosted it, and I am a different person, I’m not that different, no but I’m joking, when I saw AJ [Odudu] and Will [Best] at the NTA’s because I wasn’t sure how that was going to work or anything, but seeing them together, I was like, oh okay I get it. I think this is going to be good”.
Davina also revealed what she said to AJ, adding “I had to go “I used to do this show when it started, but don’t worry about that” but what I did want to do, I did think it was quite daunting, I wanted to give her my blessing, I know that I didn’t need to give her my blessing, but I wanted to pass on the baton, and talking to her and hearing her talk about it, it’s in safe hands. She knows what a big responsibility it is, she totally gets how serious it is. And she is taking it really seriously, so yes, guys, you have my permission to get really into it, let’s get behind it people”.
Big Brother is back this October on ITV.
