Would Davina lie to you?
Published by Editor on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 at 4:13 pm.
If one dose of Davina on a Friday night at 9pm wasn't enough, we're treated to a double helping on August 1st as she appears as a guest of BBC comedy panel show 'Would I Lie To You?'
If you're unfamiliar with the format, the idea is that two teams of celebrities compete head-to-head with players revealing facts and personal tales which may or may not be true. The name of the game is for the opposing team to weed the true from the false.
The series is hosted by Angus Deayton.
Word reaches us that Davina is on comedian Lee Mack's team along with Jason Manford, while Peep Show's David Mitchell captains alongside Michael Aspel and Dara Ó Briain on the other team.
With Davina on two channels at the same time, we're just thankful for PVRs with twin tuners, Channel 4+1 and BBC iPlayer.

Davina favourite to front new 'Blind Date'
Published by Editor on Wednesday, July 09, 2008 at 3:14 pm.
We all know Davina loves a good romance, as proved by her obsession with housemates getting together on Big Brother, her stint as host on Love on a Saturday Night and not forgetting her first foray into mainstream telly, Streetmate.
Now, with ITV resurrecting Blind Date for a new series, minus Cilla Black, Davina has emerged as the favourite to front it with bookmakers offering odds of 6/1 for her to take over hosting duties.
It's thought she'd fit it in between Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother.
A source told The Sun: "There's no reason why she couldn't do Big Brother and Blind Date as well.
"She's been having a long hard think about her career path - getting a new agent and looking at new areas."
The show is apparently being reworked by none other than Simon Cowell, with Davina's mate Dermot O'Leary, along with Ant & Dec, also linked to the role.
Should it go ahead, the show is expected to air in 2009.

Temporary website launched

We don't know about you but we got literally sick at looking at the old website.
So, while we work hard behind the scenes on the all-new, full Davina McCall website we've knocked up this temporary version which hopefully won't make us want to claw our eyes out quite so much.
As always, the forums are open to air your views (and take the opportunity to see all sorts of high-resolution images and scans if you're a member) plus we've got a new YouTube channel so you can keep up with all the latest Davina appearances.
And don't forget to vote for Davina in this year's National Television Awards. You'll find the link on the left of the website (you can't miss it!).

Davina for Strictly Come Dancing?
Published by Editor on Saturday, July 05, 2008 at 1:30 pm.
Davina was among a group of celebrities snapped at a secret BBC meeting in a London hotel this week, reports the Daily Record.
The stars, also including Leigh Francis (Bo' Selecta), Richard Hammond (Top Gear) and June Sarpong (T4) remained tight lipped about what they were doing in London's Soho Hotel, but the presence of Strictly professional dancer Flavia Cacace was a possible hint.
As was the attendance of Kelly Brook, a hot favourite to win the 2007 series who had to pull out due to the death of her father, possibly given a second chance.
It's not the first time Davina's named has been mentioned in relation to Strictly Come Dancing, with reports last year suggesting Davina herself expressed an interest in taking part.
Could Davina be donning those sequins for a turn on the dancefloor? The official line-up will be revealed in a matter of weeks.
