Davina McCall has given her backing to Brian Belo as the next ‘Big Brother’ presenter.
The mum of three presented all previous UK series’ of the reality TV show, but stepped down when it was cancelled by Channel 4 and moved to Channel 5.
Although she will no longer be associated with the show, Davina thinks Brian Belo would be the perfect choice because not only has he won the series before, but he is a massive fan of the format.
She said: “I’ve done my 11 years and it’s time for a fresh channel, a fresh start, a fresh look, fresh feel – and I think the presenter should be Brian Dowling or Brian Belo, who is the proper true fan, or Emma Willis who I really love.”
