According to the Daily Mirror, comedian Peter Kay and singer Charlotte Church have already been interviewed for the pilot.

Im a big fan of Davina but it will be up against The Bill, so it may struggle.

Appears that Davina's new chat show starts next week ... found THIS ARTICLE (http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/entertainment/137052004.htm) online:

TV presenter Davina McCall has warned celebrities she may give them a tough time on her new talk show.

The 'Big Brother' host – who launches her new chat show next week - says stars won't necessarily have an easy time because she plans to get the best out of interviews.

The 38-year-old revealed: "I won’t be confrontational, try to embarrass someone, or make them do something ridiculous they'll regret. But if they get difficult with me, I'll give as good as I get. I'll earn my money."

The brunette TV star also revealed she's going to try not to be as excitable as she's been in the past. She told the Radio Times: "I may have grown out of that." She added: "I'll be a good girl, try to listen and not shout. I'll give it my best shot."

Davina's new TV show will be aired on BBC1 next week.

[BigSister]

Yeah i thought it was the Rafio Times thanks Kaz

[Ruth]

I shall watch out of interest, but I've been finding Davina's act a bit tired over the past couple of years. She might be a lot different on a chat show though.

[Mike]

I definately won't be watching, never been a big fan of Davina she should just stick to BB in my opinion.

[cc100]

Is it still on Wednesdays?

Or is it to be in the Jonathon Ross slot of a Friday night?

[Princess]

It on Wednesday at 8

[cc100]

Thanks Princess.

Well after all the fuss and the long build-up, Davina McCall finally unveils her new chat show. Nerves must be running high at the BBC - can she transfer that spark so well displayed on Big Brother to the confines of a TV studio?Reports of an effervesent pilot show suggest she can, but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. Her guests will be Charlotte Church, Tess Daly, Vernon Kay, Max Beesley and KT Tunstall.
