Big Brother presenter Davina McCall is sad that the Big Brother series is coming to an end.

‘I felt so sad when they told me that it was finishing,’

‘but I’m glad we’ve got a year to knock everyone’s socks off and have a really fond farewell.

‘I think when the series starts
I’ll be full of nostalgia and feeling: “This will
be the last first night we’ll ever do!”‘

When Davine found out that the series was finishing McCall wept

‘My lovely producer Phil called me
to tell me,’ she recalls. ‘When I got off the phone I told Matthew (her husband) and then I cried a lot. I’m going
to miss Big Brother so much.”

‘I thought it could’ve gone on, but I know the ratings last year took a bit of a hit. So I guess that even though it was getting twice as many viewers as any other show on Channel 4 at that time, it still wasn’t good for Big Brother. ”

‘In real terms I had to wake up, smell the
coffee and think that maybe it was time. If it’d happened a year and a half ago, I’d have felt very differently about it. I’d have been very frightened, but
I’m not frightened now.’

But McCall already has plans for after Big Brother with a new job as host of Sky One’s new dancing contest called Got To Dance
