Davina McCall blog on future Big Brother - she won't present it

[James]

Davina says on her blog that she isn't going to present Big Brother again. But seems to be sure that it is continuing on a new channel[?].


SOMETHING NICE FOR A BETTER LIFE • 09/02/2011

This is a big one for me!!!

It’s been a HUGE week of me taking what may seem small steps to others but to me they feel HUGE!!!

Firstly I need to tell you something...

This is very hard for me to say. I am sure that this will not be a surprise for many of you, but if it is and you are sad...I’m sorry.

I truly believe that Big Brother has legs. It is an AMAZING program that I have LOVED and dedicated a huge and brilliant part of my life to. I think any channel that took it on would be very lucky indeed....its followers are a dedicated bunch!!

But I made a decision after the end of the last series that I would not present it again. There are many reasons for this; I spent a year saying goodbye, which was very painful and scary! Big Brother had been my rock, day job and security blanket - what would I be without it? But I had to have faith that something would happen.

It did....and it’s been brilliant! I have had such a brilliant year, four new shows that I'm LOVING doing and saying goodbye to BB with a BANG!!! That is why it would feel like a step back to go back...someone new should present it on a new channel. A fresh start for the show...with me still as its biggest fan looking forward - exciting!

So then... my passion project... Nice-for a better life.


The rest of it is about her new Facebook page, Nice - for a better life (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nice-for-a-better-life/195576213788534).

Yes she has other Contracts

she could go back on her word.

Totally agree, i think if she was asked to do it, i think she would have a change of heart & say yes.

Yeah we really ought to drive home that message that Big Brother is the home of camp wash ups.

Channel 5 are presenting their new line up of shows on Monday 14th, aren't they? If any deal has come through then I wouldn't expect us to hear anything until then anyway.

[james130]

Wont be the same without her. :/

I love Davina and while I wouldn't mind seeing her back, it's the right move for her career.

ANY ex-Big Brother housemate hosting a revived version would be a recipe for disaster - it needs to be an experienced presenter that is a genuine fan of the show.

RE. the announcements, Channel 5's on-screen rebrand takes place on Monday and, as has been mentioned, it is expected that they'll announce new programming to coincide with this. Assuming a deal has been done, there wouldn't be a better time to announce it.

OH MY GOD.

Really?

:shocked:

Monday 14th - Judgement Day.

[Patrick]

At 12 O'Clock next week ;)

I bet it'll be some time around Lunch Time.

You'll be biting into a bacon sandwhich around 1 O'Clock and see a thread on TiBB saying something like 'C5's LineUp!' or 'BB Isn't Coming Back!'.

Channel 5 aren't going to build it up.

Some of the ex-housemates are experienced presenters.

Indeed and who better than thee Ultimate HM to present the new BB:D

Absolutely!

[Daniel McIver]

I think that someone like caroline flack would be amazing

[Matt]

Yeah okay, I forgot that a select few have quite a bit of experience. (Aaah the good old days of SMTV :love:)

But I stand by my opinion - hopefully they won't let ex-housemates anywhere near. New Big Brother needs to distance itself from the old one as much as possible.

[BB IS ALIVE]

Caroline flack, Meh. Would prefer Emma Willis, she really understands personalities and would be a great replacement for davina, I just hope c5 give bb a good timeslot and dont mess it around like c4 did. Loved davina, though emma or brian dowling would be cool! :)

They could have both, one as presenter of the main show and one on BBLB or whatever spin off show they have:dance:

[davidrox2010]

I'm actually really sad to have to say this but yes davina is right she hosted it for 11 years but i do partly blame channel 4 as it was quite obvious channel 5 would do something with it.

Davina knows BB and I trust that without her we will be able to have a BB with the same format but with a fresh face.

I'm glad to hear it ..... ;)

Kate, Brian and Alison Hammond? An ex housemate taking over Davina's place won't be good enough! Will be a bit of a joke even if it someone who has forged out a successful presenting career. I don't Brian or whoever presenting BBLB. But meh.. now thinking about it.. even that it should be done by a presenter who has not been a BB housemate....

I would like ex housemates to go on BBLB and BBBM to air the views though! But that's it.

Nooooooo! He should go back to Kids TV. Joke! Okay he may be good enough for BBLB. I suppose anyone is better than George Lamb right? :hugesmile:

I think Brian would be good for BBLB & Emma for the main show, if Davina not doing it.

Davina has posted this on her official website...

'Firstly I need to tell you something...

I dont know about you but I got quite emotional whist reading this.. BB wont be the same without Davina and her saying that just reminded me how good the show was! I just hope that she changes her mind or we get a presenter that can come close to her brilliance!

For me... Big Brother will ALWAYS be Davina's show. :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

[arista]

Oh okay.. well like she said.. some may not.

We know as she has 3 or 4 other contracts
and can not work for CH5 as well
as Sky1 Live
and ITV1 series
and Ch4 series.



On Ch5 it is going to be New Design
Time Moves On.

[Ninastar]

thank ****

[georgehudson]

I think Dermot O Leary would be great for the show!
Although on the other hand, we need a genuine fan for the presenter.. Maybe Emma Willis?

Yes she is booked way ahead for it.



Dermot is under a big ITV contract
so he can not jump.
