“I don’t tend to go back. I like to move forward.”

One of them is former Big Brother housemate turned TV presenter Alison Hammond.
A source told the Daily Mirror: “Alison is top of the list to present next year’s Big Brother.
“Execs think she’s exactly what the show needs. She’s energetic, fun, relatable and she was on the show, so she knows it inside out.”

“He has the one thing that any Big Brother needs — pure on-screen energy,” a source told The Sun previously.
