BIG Brother host Davina McCall last night emerged as the bookies’ favourite to take over the revamped Blind Date.
The Channel 4 star is 6/1 to take over from legendary host Cilla Black when the show returns next year.
And bosses could be on to a perfect match as Davina, 40, is on the prowl for new projects.
A pal revealed: “There’s no reason why she couldn’t do Big Brother and Blind Date as well.
“She’s been having a long hard think about her career path — getting a new agent and looking at new areas.”
X Factor host Dermot O’Leary, 35, and Geordie duo Ant and Dec, both 32, are equal second faves with bookies Paddy Power, at 8/1.
TV Biz revealed last week that the dating show — which ended in 2003 when Cilla, 65, quit on air after 18 years — is to return to ITV1.
Talent guru Simon Cowell, 48, is making the revamped series with production firm TalkbackThames
