Re-discovering golden TV moments from the archives, the pair will front Big Brother: Best Shows Ever – a show celebrating two decades of the well-loved TV programme.

Both Davina and Rylan confirmed the news on social media.
Davina wrote: “Look what just happened! Had the best day filming for E4 and Channel 4. Love working with you so much Rylan… so so much.”
“So 12-year-old me just had the time of his life. Thank you Davina. Coming soon to E4,” Rylan added.

Due to the current lockdown regulations, the pair filmed the show separately in their own homes.
In a promotional shot for the show, both presenters are seen holding up their hands to make a heart shape in the centre of the screen.
The first season of Big Brother premiered on Channel 4 on July 18, 2000, and soon became a cult hit with the British public.

Spawning 19 series, the show moved onto Channel 5 in 2011, and seven years later the programme was pulled from the airwaves.
Davina became face of the show from the very start back in 2000, but decided to bow out of presenting duties when it moved networks.
Brian Dowling took over the reins for two series, but stepped down, and was replaced with Emma Willis from 2013.
Meanwhile, Rylan won the 2013 series of Celebrity Big Brother after shooting to fame on The X Factor, and after impressing the show’s execs, he was invited back a year later to front Big Brother’s Bit On The Side.
