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, we can reveal that gobby Big Brother’s Big Mouth presenter Russell Brand will not be permanently replaced.
Guest stars will fill the shoes of the 31-year-old host � mirroring shows like BBC1’s Have I Got News For You.
