Davina McCall: I want final Big Brother to be best ever

Host pays tribute to axed show

Davina McCall will miss presenting Big Brother

Davina McCall wants Big Brother to go out on a high. 

Channel 4 has confirmed it is to axe the reality show in the wake of poor viewing figures. 

The final series will be aired next summer as part of a deal with makers Endemol and Davina hopes it will be a huge success. 

'I adore Big Brother,' she says. 'It's been with me for the best 10 years of my life. 

'It's funny, smart, innovative, thought-provoking entertainment at its best. I am proud to be part of it. 

'Let's make next year's series the best ever!'

But Dermot O'Leary, who hosted Big Brother's Little Brother, reckons Channel 4 have made the right decision. 

'It was the making of me,' he tells The Sun. 'But I've fallen out of love with it - I was there for 7 years and I can't keep watching. I haven't been blown away by the cast this year.'

Endemol could revive the show if they reach an agreement with another broadcaster.
