Other than BB her work isnt much to shout about.

Well why on earth are you only counting terrestrial TV when pretty much everyone uses digital now? The fact one of her altest successes is on a digital channel hardly demeans the triumph.

And regardless of your personal opinion on MPD, the fact still stands that it was a big success for C4 and Davina, therefore proving that everything she has done outside of BB, is clearly not a failure.

MPD is dire and will probably end up in an afternoon slot. Thats not much of a success.

And to be honest, I don't see many shows on any channel getting 10 millions viewers other than X Factor.

But you can't ignore the fact that it was a success for Channel 4, their second highest rated show of the year and has just been picked up by an American channel. It's a success for Channel 4, that much is undeniable.

Lets have this discussion in a years time when MPD is on in the afternoon with repeats in the early morning. Thats where that show is heading.

Channel 4 can barely scrape a million in ratings at the minute, they're hardly gonna put their biggest show on in the afternoon.

She was also meant to replace Fern on This Morning but turned it down because she didn't need the money. Thats not bad going for someone whos shows all fail

She hasn't done much in the past few years because she hasn't needed to, she gets £1m a year for BB. Its no coincidence that when BB gets axed, she suddenly gets the dancing show on Sky and £1m Drop

ACTUALLY i dothink davina would be good on Julie Chen's new show.... it's kind of like The View, or what you guys know as "loose women"... I think Davina could be good on it. She could add the quirky british perspective on alot of issues.
