I cannot bare him. Does anybody actually like him? I can't warm to him at all. Somebody needs to tell him to step around Davina McCall, not on her. He's the worst possible presenter they could have picked. Emma Willis would be great for the role. Does he not annoy anybody else?

He's got no charisma at all, He's like a little gay robot.

I'm with you, one of the main reasons I didn't bother watching last years show.

It's just a stigma people have due to the fact he took over from Davina, who was part of the brand. The reality is, on a purely objective level, he is just as good at hosting the show as Davina.

I would say the same for you. You asked me if my honestly stated opinion was serious.

He's not as likeable for me though, it's as though he is just trying to be exactly like Davina.

That's a personal thing then, likability wise he has already proven himself by winning BB2 and UBB. Unfortunately you are comparing him to a host you relate to Big Brother as a brand, and for a lot of people that will always be the way it is.

You say Emma Willis would've been good, but she is even more like Davina. The truth is, nobody would have worked as a "good host" because they aren't Davina.

I like him and I think each series he improves. some of the things he says are a bit cringey at times but overall I think he's done a good job of replacing davina who is one of the greatest presenters ever in my opinion .

He can be fantastic on BOTS when he's being honest and giving and saying what he wants to say but he turns into a robot on the main show.

Terrible, he is getting a bit better but most of the time he's just awkward to watch

Just don't think he's really suited to presenting, he's alright now when he's on BOTS
