Emma Willis is hopeful that 'Big Brother' will return to the UK one day.
Emma Willis hopes someone is plotting a Big Brother comeback
The 45-year-old TV star presented 'Big Brother' and 'Celebrity Big Brother' between 2013 and 2018, as well as the spin-off series 'Big Brother's Bit on the Side' between 2011 and 2015, and like Rylan Clark, who won the 2013 celebrity series and also hosted 'Big Brother's Bit on the Side', Emma would love to see the reality show back on air.
She told Metro.co.uk: "Everybody wants it back!
"I think it will come back when it’s ready, maybe it’s not ready yet.
"If you’re gonna do it again, you’ve got to do it fantastically well.
She added: "Hopefully, there’s somebody beavering away somewhere that is coming up with an amazing plan for it, but I don’t know anything about it if they are!"
The last UK series aired in 2018, but an Australian spin-off of 'Celebrity Big Brother' was made available on E4 this month.
The news prompted Rylan to tweet: "Amazing news…… NOW BRING OURS BACK."
The 33-year-old star, who also presented the main series of 'CBB', urged for the return of the popular programme when the UK was plunged into a third coronavirus pandemic lockdown in 2021.
He wrote on Twitter at the time: "Surely now is the time we all need a bit of Celebrity Big Brother (sic)"
The former 'Supermarket Sweep' host had previously called for 'Big Brother' to be picked up by the likes of streaming services Netflix or Amazon Prime Video.
Speaking in August 2019, he said: "People like watching TV when they want to watch TV, and you could certainly do 'Big Brother' like that.
"Every day a new episode could drop with the 24-hour highlights of the day before, then every Friday at 9pm you could log into your account and watch the eviction live. The technology is there with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
"There'll never be another 'Big Brother'. There's only one 'Big Brother'. You can dress up all these other shows all you want but there's only one.
"It was the only reality show left that was real. You know producers wouldn't be going in there and telling people what to do."
