Emma Willis would be "devastated" if ‘Big Brother’ returned without her next year.
The 43-year-old star hosted both the celebrity and civilian versions of the long running reality show before it was cancelled by Channel 5 in 2018, and she is desperate to be back to celebrate 21 years since its launch on Channel 4.
She told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: "’Big Brother’ will be 21 years old next year. If they did anything, I’d be devastated not to be involved in it.
"It’s been a huge part of my life, both working on it and watching it. It needs an anniversary, a big birthday. To never do it again would be a terrible shame. It has to find its feet and be celebratory and fun."
Up next, Emma will be hosting the new series of ‘The Circle’ – taking over from Maya Jama and Alice Levine – but she insisted the programme is about the contestants rather than her own personality.
She added: "This show isn’t about the host. ‘I’m A Celeb’ is, because Ant and Dec are f***ing brilliant. And their humour and links are great.
"But this show is all about the contestant. Last year we had a live start and finish and it was a shame we didn’t see the hosts more."
‘The Circle’ is based around a reality setting in which contestants each live alone in an apartment and can only interact with each other via The Circle, a social media-type chat system, in a bid to become the most popular person and win £100,000.
