Davina McCall has said she believes ‘Big Brother’ needs to be “rested” before returning to find a new audience.

As speculation continues to swirl as to whether the reality show will find a new home after Channel 5′s decision to axe it, the former presenter has called for it to take some time away from the schedules.

However, Davina, also admitted she does not see this as the end of the road for ‘Big Brother’, which she hosted from 2000 to 2010.

What if it never comes back?

[bots]

i dont think it needs to be rested, it just needs to be on a channel that actually wants it and is committed to it. This series has shown that it can still be good.

[Greg!]

What if it never comes back?

It WILL!

[Calderyon]

It WILL!

Might not.

[Greg!]

Might not.

Well then I'll just watch BB6 every summer until I die I guess?

Davina is going to be 61 in 10 years though :/ Cant see her returning to host.

I agree with people saying it needs a long overdue rest after 15 and 16 it should have been rested then as it was clear they didn't know what they were doing and ratings began to decline.

If they had rested it after BB16 then it would have been off the screens for 3 years already and only 19 months away from a 5 year hiatus and a May 2020 launch.

Channel 5 have rinsed it.

Who said Davina was gonna host again :laugh:

[pontyboi]

Who said Davina was gonna host again :laugh:

No one has said that i'm just saying*if she does return in the future as she hasn't ruled it out herself and people are still speculating about it on this forum...In this very thread actually.

So laugh at that bitch :hee:

[Headie]

A true BB fan :clap1:

Real ones recognise the show need a 5-10 year break!

[bots]

The argument that it needs a break is just false. It needs a mainstream audience and they havent watched big brother in years. So it being tired is just not an argument. It needs a channel capable of providing new viewers.

[Strictly Jake]

It needs a 3 year break but no more I honestly think it still has a lot of life in it. It certainly had more longevity than love island will have. I really don't see love island lasting 19 series as much as I like it it doesn't have the format to last that long. It's testament to how good bb actually is and the impact it has had worldwide as well as reality television as a whole. So as much as people rave about love island it pales in comparison really which is ironic as maybe it killed the big brother we have now. But bb isn't dead completely just watch when the love for Love island dies down and bb makes a return how truly alive it still is but yes it does need to rest a few years

I agree.

I don't really think it needs to be rested either.
It has woken up this series, and the tasks have been really good.

If it has to be rested, it should not be for any more than just one series.
Preferably not however, as you appear to not want as well

[irishdave]

I completely agree. It really only needs to be rested for one year and return in January 2020 with the support of a decent channel and a good production team. I would be happy to see Paul Osbourne return.

[iRyan]

A two year break will suffice

[pontyboi]

The argument that it needs a break is just false. It needs a mainstream audience and they havent watched big brother in years. So it being tired is just not an argument. It needs a channel capable of providing new viewers.

I have been watching since day 1 back in 2000 and even I can see it needs a break.

Too much of a good thing is just that...Too much.

It needs to go to a main stream channel but after a hiatus to build excitement for the format again. If it were to take 3 to 5 years off and came back with a big launch im sure it could get back to the millions of viewers it is capable of not only that I can imagine if it came back on mainstream tv after a rest the media would be interested once again.

What does that traitor know? They should put her down one of those drops.

BRILLAINT! Utterly BRILLIANT!

only true fans

[joeysteele]

I think once rested it wouldn't get back.
If it was more than a year that is.
