Davina McCall is Big Brother's biggest fan
Wednesday, 30th December 2009
Big Brother host Davina McCall has revealed that she is as excited and enthusiastic about the show in real life as she appears on each Friday night eviction.
The presenter has never missed a single episode of either Big Brother or Celebrity Big Brother since they began ten years ago.
She says: I think that anybody that watches it as much as I do will also have the same enthusiasm.”
When you watch every single episode since its beginning, I think it’s one of the cleverest, funniest, most moving and thought-provoking programmes I’ve ever seen.
So I can’t sing its praises highly enough. I’m always a bit dismayed when people ask me if I’m faking my enthusiasm. I get really defensive, because I really like it, and I feel I have to defend it.”
Dinner parties
Davina says she also loathes it when people bad-mouth the show: If I were to listen to people at dinner parties, they all get a bit snooty and intellectually snobby about Big Brother, and how it’s the lowest of the low.
“ ‘You don’t really enjoy doing it, do you?’- I never really understand where that comes from. Maybe I’m just being naïve.
“When you’ve got lots of other programmes that do far worse things than Big Brother, it seems odd that it’s got such an evil reputation.”
She adds that it’s been a great boost to see so many fans of the show talking about in on social networking sites: “Twitter has been a bit of a saving grace for me, realising how much it means to people.”
In fact you can Tweet Davina now to tell her how much you’ll miss it next year when Big Brother is no more.
