According to The Sun (who are annoyingly quite reliable when it comes to BB gossip.
Honestly, someone needs to take the entire format away from ITV - what a mess!
Davina says she actively wanted to host ITV’s Big Brother reboot, and when they chose AJ Odudu and Will Best instead, she even offered to do a “fancy another one?” cameo, which they rejected.
Honestly, that’s kind of mad.
Part of me can’t believe ITV passed on Davina McCall, but another part thinks she may have had a lucky escape. As disappointing as it sounds, at least she’s not tied to the much softer, watered-down version of the show we ended up with. Another example of how they want the format and the fanbase it brings without having to spend the money or do the work.
