Davina has claimed that the public now hate her for presenting Big Brother

BIG Brother host Davina McCall claims the show has turned her into a national hate figure.

Mum-of-three Davina, 41, has fronted the Channel 4 reality series since it was launched in 2000.

And she admits she is its biggest fan.

But she believes the public have turned against her as the programme’s ratings have continued to plunge.

She revealed that she has suffered verbal abuse.

And people are now telling her the show is too “low rent” for her and she should be hosting something more up-
market, like The Antiques Roadshow.

She said: “I love doing Big Brother. As a presenter, the longevity of the show really appeals to me.

“For me it’s pure entertainment. But I do get abuse for presenting it.”

And she blamed the criticism on high-brow attitudes, snapping: “People are so snobby.”

Davina also told Friday Night With Jonathan Ross last night that her favourite housemate from all the shows was lesbian former nun Anna Nolan, 38, from BB1.

She said: “In the whole 10 series, she is the only one I want to be my friend. I’m still in touch with her.”

And she claimed she could never sign up to do a show like Strictly Come Dancing because she is a sore loser.

Davina told Wossy, 48: “I couldn’t face losing. I would have to win because I am so competitive.”

She also dismissed rumours that she wanted to replace Fern Britton, 51, who is quitting as co-presenter of ITV’s This Morning next month.

Davina shrugged her shoulders and said: “I have no idea what’s going on.”

What do you think of her?
