McCALL WEPT OVER BIG BROTHER’S DEMISE
Sep/090
Big Brother presenter Davina McCall told today how she cried when she heard Big Brother was to be axed.
It was announced on Wednesday that Channel 4 was dropping the show after next summer’s 11th series.
The move follows months of speculation about the programme’s future following disappointing ratings for the latest series.
McCall said: “This week has been such a shocker. I got a phone call from my producer saying that next year we were going to have the last Celebrity Big Brother, and indeed the last Big Brother.
“Even though I kind of knew it was coming to an end and that it gives Channel 4 an opportunity to try something else, and they’ve had a lot of flak for Big Brother in the past, I think they’ve been very brave to stick with it as long as they did.
“I just felt really sad, I cried for a bit and my husband was being very nice to me all day.
“It was kind of a weird day, I felt like I was grieving the loss of a friend.”
She said that next year would be “silly”.
“I think this is the only way to describe it.
“We’ll definitely go out with a bang. I certainly will be quite naughty, I’m not sure in what way or how but it could involve some shenanigans in the house or something, I want to go in the house really badly.
“Staying the night has been vetoed by my husband because sleeping is the only thing he really gets to see me do on my own.
“I definitely want to go in there at some point. I’m going to just really have a laugh with it and send it out with a proper bang!
“People are saying Big Brother’s over, but it’s a good format so I think it doesn’t necessarily have to be over, it can come back in another guise.”
Marcus was the latest contestant to be evicted from the house last night.
Siavash, who was also nominated, survived the public vote.
Marcus, 35, a carpenter from Brentford, was the 12th contestant to be evicted.
