Default Davina McCall can't watch Big Brother: 'It's too much of a commitment'
Quote:
Davina McCall has admitted that she can't watch Big Brother any more because it is "such a commitment".

The presenter and mother of three, who is currently training for a massive Sport Relief triathlon, said that tuning in to her former show on a nightly basis has become too difficult.

"I've heard really good feedback, [but] because I'm working and I'm a mum and I'm training, I just can't," she told Digital Spy.

"It's such a commitment, because you have to watch it every night. My dedication to Big Brother is still strong, but I just can't watch it."

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s150/...ommitment.html
She said she still loves the show she watched BB14 , I thinks it's only because she has got big things going on at the moment.

Or maybe its a case of not wanting to see the beautiful Emma doing a hatchet job on her baby by being so biased.

Can see her point, the sort of show where you can feel out the loop of it if you just miss a night or two, with these last few days she's having to present the Jump live in the hour before it's on as well

I'm happy she still watches it and enjoys it. BB is something (especially this one) that you have to watch everyday to really enjoy the experience

I'd love it if she watches in the summer and they got her as a panelist on BOTS, that'd wipe the floor with every other guest I think it's been long enough now

It wouldn't surprise me if it's Channel 4 stopping that from happening somehow

How many times has she given this interview? Feel like I read it every time Big Brother's on.

Who cares about her nowadays anyway. She literally just hosts **** programmes on C4 that no one watches.

People still associate her with BB whenever they see her anyway.

I agree. Even now when the live show is on and Marcus says "Please welcome your host," I still expect him to say "Davina McCall" - this happens every time without fail. In a way BB is part of Davina's legacy and no matter how good Emma is BB will always be associated with Davina just as Countdown is (was) with Carol Voderman.

I feel as though Brian and Emma shouldn't have done the "Big Brother house. this is..." and changed it up a bit. Because still to this day, I expect them to say 'This Is Davina'.

Emma is doing a great job. My favourite BB host. She's amazing! Better than Davina for me.

If only she could go on BBBOTS. Would like to hear her views about the housemates and the show.

I get what she means, it's the reason why i only watch CBB and not the normal series.

Mee too. It is strange, but years after Davina has left I still think I'm going to hear "This is Davina," even when I am looking at Emma with the mic in her hand and about to say who she is.

I love Davina. I get what she means, you really do need to have the time to update yourself with everything going on in the house or you miss out completely
