Davina McCall admits she was ‘turned down’ for Big Brother comeback

Davina McCall’s Big Brother fans have been waiting for this answer, and now the TV favourite has made her position clear. She does not think she will host ITV2’s reboot, despite years of hope from loyal viewers.

When ITV2 confirmed Big Brother would return, one question instantly took over. Would Davina come back too?

For many fans, she is still the face of the format. But speaking in an exclusive interview, McCall shut down the idea of a return.

She said: “Oh, I mean, I love that programme with all of my heart.”

That affection clearly has not faded. Davina McCall Big Brother history stretches across the show’s most memorable years, and she says it shaped her life.

“It made me who I am today. I had the best 11 years of my life, like all my babies were practically born on the show,” she added.

She then shared just how closely family life followed the show’s schedule.

“All my babies were born in September because I couldn’t give birth during Big Brother and I planned them all so I had my babies in September. All their birthdays are coming up now.”

Why Davina McCall’s Big Brother hopes have taken a blow

Despite all that love, McCall did not tease a comeback. She made it plain that someone else will likely get the job.

She said: “So whoever does it… I will be supporting it with every fibre in my body. But I don’t think it’s me.”

That will disappoint plenty of viewers. Davina McCall Big Brother remains a dream pairing for fans who grew up with the show.

ITV2 announced the reboot in 2022 and sparked instant speculation over the next host. McCall’s name quickly topped many wish lists.

Her latest comments suggest the channel wants a fresh start. At the very least, she does not expect the call.

The reboot twist still has Big Brother viewers talking

McCall also touched on another Big Brother talking point while discussing The Masked Dancer. She joked about who could join a celebrity version if it returned.

When asked whether fellow judge Oti Mabuse should appear in Celebrity Big Brother, McCall said: “ITV2 get on this, did you hear that? Oti is going in. Fancy another one?”

Emma Willis has also distanced herself from the revived show. According to a separate report, she said she had already “said goodbye” to Big Brother.

That leaves ITV2 with a wide-open field. Some fans still want Davina, while others have backed Rylan after his Big Brother’s Bit on the Side stint.
