Davina McCall ‘is in talks to bring back Celebrity Big Brother next year after Best Shows Ever success’
DAVINA McCall is in talks to bring back Celebrity Big Brother next year.
Fans have gone wild for the throwback series Best Shows Ever, which took a trip down memory lane looked back at some of the series' most memorable episodes.
Davina, 52, hosted Big Brother and its Celebrity spin-offs from 2000 to 2010, before the series was axed by Channel 4 and made the switch to Channel 5 in 2011.
However, it's Channel 4 that are looking to revive the show and are willing to pay Davina a huge fee to be the host once again.
Emma Willis was the latest host of the show from 2013-2018, but Channel 4 bosses worried it would interfere with her commitments with other reality series such as The Circle.
However, A Channel 4 and Endemol rep has denied the claims that they are in talks with Davina to bring the show back and no future series has been commissioned.
An insider explained: "Davina has been approached about the potential of returning to present Celebrity Big Brother again.
"She is the undisputed queen of the show, so it would be a dream to have her back. They're prepared to work everything around her if it means getting her on board. And of course, there will be a healthy pay cheque on offer."
She added: "Execs hope that means she'll jump at the chance to present a revival if it happens."
They also mentioned that should the show make a comeback, it will most likely be broadcast on E4 rather than the main channel.
