Rylan Clark-Neal may have hinted at the return of ‘Big Brother’.
The TV star – who hosted spin-off panel show ‘Bit On The Side’ for five years until the reality show’s 18-year run on the air was ended by Channel 5 earlier this month – has sparked speculation it could have a new home.
After joining production company Endemol’s Christmas party on Thursday (29.11.18), Rylan teased fans as he cryptically tweeted: "Big Brother is always watching…."
While there has been no confirmation or official word that the programme – which launched on Channel 4 in 2000 before moving to its final home seven years ago – will have a future with another broadcaster, Rylan is desperate for a return.
He recently admitted: "My brain just doesn’t understand that it’s not coming back.
"To me, I can’t understand that I have presented it for the last time. It’s going to be majorly missed. And trust me, I am doing everything I can do in my power to get it back."
The 30-year-old star – who won the celebrity edition in 2013 – has also revealed he would be "devastated" if the show did make a comeback but he was replaced as host.
He said: "Fingers crossed ‘Big Brother’ will be picked up somewhere. I always said I would never leave ‘Big Brother’ unless I was sacked or not wanted, so if it does go elsewhere and they want a new host then fair enough, but I’ll be devastated.
"’Big Brother’ changed my life."
His fellow presenter Emma Willis has also admitted she was "sad and disappointed" that Channel 5 had decided to drop the show.
She previously said: "I feel sad and disappointed because it’s been a massive part of my life as a human being before I worked on it and also as a career and as a member of the British public, as it’s been on TV for almost 20 years.
"I am sad about it but everything needs a break at some point or a rest or a new home to breathe life into it again.
"So hopefully it will come back in some way shape or form at some point but if it does come back it needs to be in the right way and not rushed."
