Davina McCall told the publication: "I lived and breathed Big Brother for 11 years.

"Not one week goes by when I don’t quote Big Brother in some form.

"It made me laugh, it made me cry and it taught me to never judge a book by its cover.

"I love the show and can’t wait to share it with a whole new audience."

"There will be laughs, tears and drama, but most of all we get to relive some of Big Brother’s greatest episodes."
