Davina Quits Big Bro'!

"Screw you guys, I'm....oh, you get the gist!"


Big Brother stalwart, Davina McCall is set to quit her long running stint as Big Brother host after the current series 8 ends.


A source close to Davina says, "Davina loves doing Big Brother but she knows when enough is enough. She enjoys the show and is very fond of everyone she works with but wants to spread her wings and go on to something different. She is worried about getting pigeonholed so has made the hard decision to walk out."


Judging by Davina's past attempts at diversifying, this could be a catastrophic decision on her part. Aside from the hugely successful, but now defunct dating show, Streetmate, Davina has had minimal success with other projects.


Only last year, her BBC 1 chat show, Davina was slated by critics and audiences alike. She was the highest paid TV star that year, with her Big Brother deal and her one off fee of £500, 000 from the BBC for just 8 episodes of the flop-talk show. It caused a scandal amongst license fee payers who felt their taxes were not being put to good use.


Despite her resignation from Big Brother, Channel 4 executives have vowed the show will go on. The channel has a 3 year deal with production company Endemol to ensure the reality series continues on their network. The deal is reputed to be worth £180 million.

Davina has hosted Big Brother in the UK since its first series back in 1999. She has become the synonymous face of the programme. We at The Trash Heap... seriously doubt the programme will be as good without her.

Good luck Davina, but I suspect you'll go crawling back to Ch4 if you past ventures are anything to go by.



My, my, 1st of June seems to be shaping up as the day everyone quits something!
