Davina McCall has warned ITV there’s no chance of her signing up to be a housemate on Celebrity Big Brother.
The show helped make her one of telly’s biggest names when she fronted it on Channel 4 between 2000 and 2010. But there’s no amount of money that could convince her to take part when the celeb version returns to screens next year.
She said: “It’s a flat-out no. I wouldn’t do it. I don’t want people to see me sleeping. Letting people see everything that you do and how you behave is too much. Being a famous person is quite a public thing. There are bits of me that I’d like to save for my partner and my kids.”
