Big Brother host Davina McCall has been confirmed as the host of a new dance based reality show on Sky1 airing next year.

The series, entitled Just Dance, will air for eight weeks in January and search for the best dancers of all genres from across the country, culminating in a live final.

Just Dance will be the first series Davina has hosted outside Big Brother since her own self-titled chat show back in 2006, although she has made numerous one off appearances since then, notably hosting Comic Relief and Sport Relief.

During the early years of Big Brother Davina also hosted a number of prime-time Saturday night shows for ITV, including Popstars: The Rivals, The Vault and Love on a Saturday Night. She has previously worked for Sky1 in the late 1990’s, hosting adult game show Prickly Heat.

This summer Davina has repeatedly rebutted rumours that the series would be axed this year, stating that she will be back with Big Brother 11 next summer
