... although not her own

Big Brother host Davina McCall is planning to adopt an African child, a report claims.

The TV star and her husband Matthew Robertson are believed to have sought advice over the idea from movie director Guy Ritchie, who adopted Malawian child David Banda with Madonna in 2006.

A source told The People: "Davina wanted to know if there were any pitfalls to the process of adoption.

"Ritchie was very complimentary about his experiences with David. It was very reassuring for Davina to hear.

"Guy also told Davina that it may well be worth speaking to Madonna for her thoughts - and even offered to try and put her in touch."

The presenter has already worked in Africa for the charity Save The Children, as well as making numerous appearances on Comic Relief.

McCall and Robertson already have three children together - Holly, seven, Tilly, five, and Chester, two.

Good for her, I thought she was pregnant again

When I saw the title I thought she was pregnant, again.

Why do famous people have to adopt someone from another country? Why dont they adopt someone from our country?

Thats good of her!!
I actually thought she was pregnant again and was going to say "The 4th time while presenting BB!!!" or would it have been the 5th?

Exactly. There's many children in care in this country that could do with a nice home.

Africans are a lot worse off, I bet some of them would kill to even be in the British care system.

We are all human after all, if she is taking one person out of a bad life into a better life, then we shouldn't complain. She is doing a good thing.

But I bet people in the British care system would kill to be out of it. There's ALWAYS going to be someone worse than us, so we can't just put things in a hierarchy of what should be attended to first. Each of us are enduring our own plight, and it affects us either way.

Great Move
maybe even more will do the same.
It makes great sense.

Good for her
I'd love to adopt when I'm old enough =)

Fair enough, but if she wants to take someone out of poverty and give them the chance to have a meal every day then I don't think thats so bad.
