Brian Belo has blasted Emma Willis.
The former ‘Big Brother’ winner – who triumphed on the eighth series of the show in June 2007 – has hit out at the Channel 5 show’s host, claiming she wants to be like the programme’s former presenter Davina McCall, and he has insisted Emma and ‘Big Brother’s Bit on the Side’ host Rylan Clark "can’t present".
In a long rant on Twitter, he wrote: "I still can’t believe that @channel5_tv are bringing back Big Brother’s Little Brother. @bbuk It’s not even wanting to be nasty, it’s like they both need to go. This decade, we’ve got a new breed of presenters, people who can’t present!
"It’s like, we all get that you wanted to be Davina! But there’s only one Davina! It’s too much to take now! Davina done @bbuk so now your doing it, she done Popstars: The Rivals, so you do TheVoice .. Davina does L’Oréal adverts, so now you do L’Oréal adverts. It’s like *!£%-off!
"I just feel like saying, does anybody have a memory. Is there not a single human being alive with a memory!?!? Because if they do, they sure are not very good at functioning it! People are getting away with daylight robbery now and everyone is far too fickle for my liking!
"All these little glory-hunters! The 1s running around after people because their in power, their the 1s that will be struck down! Cos’ we’ve watched them now, for long enough go from person to person. It’s completely nauseating!! It’s like, do you have a backbone? Do you?! #livid
"I’m a proper Big Brother Fan and we need thing’s to change with @bbuk ! The presenters are just not good enough. I can’t watch another season with them on BB @endemolshine ! That’s not being nasty, that’s being truthful (sic)"
Brian insisted he is such a huge fan of ‘Big Brother’ that he’s watched various overseas versions of the programme "in languages I don’t even understand" just so he can tune into his beloved ‘BB’.
He wrote: "We are losing a humongous television show in it’s editorial content, because people want to be polite!?! I’ve sat on this for FAR too long, I’m such a fan, that I’ve watched BB in languages that I don’t even understand because I needed to watch Big Brother. @bbuk_zone @TheCBBFan (sic)"
Brian has also called on show bosses to axe ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ and invest the money saved on signing up big-name stars by plying the cash into the regular show.
He wrote: "You can have a humongous television show with NO famous people in it, @channel5_tv you don’t have to spend the money on the talent, you have to spend it on the show @bbuk !! In January, don’t have a celebrity season, have a normal season, cos ppl will watch it @endemolshineuk (sic)"
Davina fronted ‘Big Brother’ from 2000 to 2010 when the show ended on Channel 4.
Brian Dowling was then handed the reins when Channel 5 picked up the programme in 2011, but he was replaced by Emma in 2013 and she has hosted the show and celebrity version ever since.
