BIG BROTHER House, this is Davina —I’ve decided to McCall it a day. Please do not swear.

The reality TV presenting queen will quit Channel 4’s BB hit to launch a serious acting career, we can reveal.

The chirpy host, who has been evicting celeb wannabes since 2000, will dramatically reinvent herself when the ninth series ends in September.

Mum-of-three Davina, 40, has ditched her previous management to kick-start the turnaround, which will begin with a serious acting role in a major TV drama.

Her new agent is Michael Foster, the man behind Billie Piper’s transformation from bubblegum pop kid to top British actress.

A source close to Davina told us: “She has finally realised the time is right to move on.

“After doing so many series of Big Brother, she’s become seriously bored.

“She’s very excited and convinced that Michael can turn her into a serious actor.”

In recent months, even Channel 4 has refused to give Davina—who also stars in a TV hair dye ad— work outside of Big Brother. It was rumoured that bosses also believe the best of her presenting career is behind her.

So last month, Davina decided to cut ties with her long-time agent John Noel. He’s her closest link to Big Brother and has also shepherded the careers of Dermot O’Leary and Russell Brand.

She has made one attempt to move into acting before—flop ITV sitcom Sam’s Game in 2001. It was canned

Last night, a Channel 4 insider confirmed: “Davina has had to make some very hard choices. There is an understanding at Big Brother that it’s very unlikely she’ll be back.

“How many times can she keep on saying, ‘Big Brother House, this is Davina. You are live on Channel 4. Please do not swear.’? This really is make or break time for her.”

I found this over at realitytvfan.org and apparenly it came from the news of the world

not sure i believe it because she said they would have to pries her hands off the show but there again there were rumours of her moving into acting

overall i dont believe it really just thought i would let you all know of the rumour

Yessssss!! finally she's leaving!! She's bored, we're bored and she can't present any more. If you look back at any BB5 or BB6 evictions she's 100 times better than anything she's done from BB7 onwards.

Now to find a replacement... I don't thin a man would suit presenting it (On his own anyway) And they need someone young, jumpy, bubbly, hyper and attractive, so perhaps look through all the new female presenters in in the UK

She has gone downhill and we do need to find a suitable replacement if this is true...
i agree we need a female not a male on his own

It's far from being confirmed, at all. It's funny how the papers use the 'insiders' card to pass it as confirmed. So don't get all excited guys ! lol
