Davina will be appearing on The New Paul O'Grady Show this Tuesday (22nd May) at 5pm on Channel 4.

Davina attended the television BAFTAs last night, and took the opportunity to rubbish recent tabloid rumours that Big Brother 8 would be her last.

From The Sun:

BIG Brother beauty Davina McCall will be hosting a new Sunday night programme for the eighth series of the reality show, TV Biz can reveal.

Davina, 39, will front an hour-long show called Big Brother On The Couch — which sees psychologists analysing contestants’ behaviour.

The show will replace the Saturday night update when Big Brother 8 kicks off on May 30. It will be followed by an hour-long BB update covering the Friday night eviction.

Channel 4 chiefs axed the Saturday night show as it fares badly against BBC1 and ITV in the entertainment ratings war.

Davina’s new show will be an in-depth look at the week’s news from the Big Brother house as she discusses events with the psychology experts.

A show insider said: “Big Brother fans will love it — it’s the perfect night in.

“On the couch will be a round-up of what’s happening in the house and Davina’s take on the week. She’ll be joined by names from the world of psychology to help work out the housemates’ behaviour.”

Meanwhile, the new Big Brother presenter press shots - including Davina's first since 2005 - have been released. Hi-resolution images are now in the media section of the forums (you must be registered to view.)

From the Daily Mail:

Big Brother presenter Davina McCall will quit the Channel 4 reality show after the next series.

The 39-year-old mum-of-three has been the face of the show for the last seven years, but it is understood that she wants to move on and work on other TV projects.

Davina, who has fronted BB since its first showing back in 2000, is thought to be sorry to leave the show, which is made by production company Endemol, but is excited about moving on to other things.

A source close to the former Streetmate presenter said: "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.

The following extract is from an article by Emma Donnan for the Sunday People newspaper.

DISTRAUGHT Davina McCall made a dramatic dash back from holiday to seek urgent medical help for her sick baby son.

The Big Brother presenter cut short a family break in Mauritius when eight-month-old Chester suffered breathing difficulties.

Frantic Davina and hubby Matthew Robinson whisked their tot to a Harley Street specialist who got the problem under control.

A source said: "They were beside themselves with worry about Chester."

The couple were relaxing before mum-of-three Davina hosts the eighth series of BB starting on May 30.

They had already cancelled two holidays because they were worried about Chester.

When the problem flared up again in Mauritius last week they raced home five days early.

The source said: "It meant a rather unsatisfactory end to Davina's last family holiday before her busy summer schedule.

"But the only thing on her and Matthew's mind was the health of their child."
