Axed Big Brother 2013 host Brian Dowling is reportedly furious with show bosses.
Channel 5 producers are looking to shake up the aging reality show this summer and confirmed yesterday that Brian would be replaced on the main show by current Bit On The Side presenter Emma Willis. Channel 5′s director of programmes Ben Frow said: “Emma is a natural on screen, she’s made the spinoff show her own and now the time is totally right for her to step up. I know she’ll take Big Brother to the next level and I can’t wait to see her dealing with the housemates both famous and soon to be famous. “I’d also like to thank Brian Dowling for doing such a sterling job over the last two years. He’s been a big part of the success of the show and I wish him the very best.” It was a surprise to hear after Channel 5 signed Brian to a new two year contract only last autumn. It means he’ll be give a £100,000 pay off, with a new face being brought in to front Bit On The Side. Despite the money, Brian’s not happy and a pal told The Sun newspaper today: “It goes without saying that Brian is fuming at what’s happened. This was his job and one they had contracted him to do. “There is a new Channel 5 boss and obviously he had different ideas — but it has cost him as Brian will have to be paid.” Big Brother will return to Channel 5 in the summer.

You'd be a little bit angry, he was apparently contracted to do this series and CBB.
But an extra 100k in your backpocket? You'd be laughing. |

Oh FFS Brian. You're a sh*te host and no one liked you anyway - now you've got more money than the past two winners of Big Brother actually walked away with.

Most people would still be pissed off, I very much doubt it was just about the money for him.

Did the guy REALLY not see this coming? I'm sorry but he can delude himself all he likes and bathe in the glorious round of applause that the elstree crowds surround him with until his heart is content - but if he really hosted this show for 2 years and was oblivious to the fact that a good 90% of the viewers despised him as a host, then Jesus Christ.

I don't agree thta he was awful,he was by far better than even Davina in her last 2 series at elast of Big Brother, her eviction interviews were dreadful in those last 2 series.
£100,000 is a good pay off, no denying that but if he is upset,angry or furious at this event then he has every right to be. The way this originally started to come out and all the speculation is pretty shabby to say the least and he must feel he has been stabbed in the back. Not a good start to the next series of BB and it will,no matter what others say, now seem really odd not having Brian there at all now. I wish him well and actually I have enjoyed his time as presenter too. |

I find it funny that he was contracted to be paid £100k, which is actually the same amount the winner is paid. (if we don't count the twists).
At the end of the day, if I did a **** job at managing my department, i'd be fired, and I wouldn't expect my replacement to call me first to let me know she has my job. That would just be a slap in the face. |

Brian has never been better than Davina, sorry that's just a massive insult to her. She's far more professional and presenter-savvy than him.

While I never liked Brian and I'm glad he won't be presenting anymore, he has every right to be angry about it. He was contracted for wasn't it around four more series? Two civilian and two celeb? 100K seems reasonable... he definitely deserves compensation for the axing.

She may not have been as great as before, but Davina was always better than Brian

Thank **** Brian's finally gone, but I do feel bad for him. He's one of my favorite housemates and I do think he's a good presenter, just not a good Big Brother presenter. I've seen some of his other presenting work and he did fine when he was in a more natural environment and could be himself instead of some obnoxious robot desperate to hump the leg of any male that steps onto the stage. He would have been great for BOTS but there's obviously no way he'd do that now. Hopefully he gets some presenting work on a camp magazine-type show or something idk.
