Emma Willis rules out the possibility of returning as host for the 2023 revival of Big Brother on ITV2.

Emma Willis has categorically ruled out returning as host of the revival of Big Brother on ITV2.

The 46-year-old took over from Brian Dowling as the show's presenter in 2013, a role she continued until Channel 5 axed the programme in 2018.

Earlier this month ITV announced that it will broadcast a new series in 2023 but has yet not confirmed who will serve as presenter.

Talking to the Radio Times, Willis said: "I think with every new era of Big Brother, I think there should be a new host.

"You know, I loved my time on the show, and I very much kind of said goodbye to it back then because we thought it was over. I don't tend to go back. I like to move forward."

She added: "I think it's right. It's starting again, it's got a new home – it should have a new host."

Among those rumoured to be in the frame for the role are Bit On The Side's Rylan Clark, BB legend Alison Hammond and comedian Mo Gilligan.
